    Retrofit bonding for existing pool

    I’ve got 32x16 vinyl liner pool that I’ve established is not bonded. The pool was originally built in the late 60’s or early 70’sI believe and has been upgraded at various times (liner was replaced in 2015), but no one ever did any bonding. As far as metal parts it has two metal ladders, one...

    Locating possible bonding system

    We moved into a house a couple of years ago that was built in the 70's, with a pool that was built around that time as well. It's a vinyl liner pool, so the liner has obviously been replaced many times, and plumbing updated at some point. Anyway I couldn't really find any info on a bonding...

    Odd electrical setup on new house pool

    Hey all. A few weeks ago we moved into our house with a pool installed by the previous owners. We actually had an inspection company inspect the pool, but apparently they didn't do that great of a job, because they didn't notice what I think is a rather odd setup with the electrical. After...

    Circulation in 32x16 rectangle pool, looking for help

    Hey all. New pool owner here. So far I've been doing pretty well with the TFP method to maintain water quality, but I'm not happy with the surface skimming in my pool. I've got the basket clean, weir is working, and there is good flow going into the basket, but I'm lost on where to direct the...

    Hi from a new pool owner

    Just wanted to introduce myself. A few weeks ago we bought a house with a 20,000 gallonish in-ground vinyl pool. Before we even moved in I found this site and ordered my TF-100 and speedstir so I could start off right! I also keep saltwater reef aquariums, so water testing is a pretty normal...
