    Oh no. We can't run and test it yet. It is there but not really connected to anything. I will forward this question to pb. Builder says since I don't have a spa it should be ok. Our pool is 17x35 rectangle pool, no spa, 5 returns, 3 sheer descents and 1 bubbler. Thank you. - - - Updated -...

    Hi Everyone. Our builder installed 2" suction lines and 1.5" returns but our contract is for 2.5" suction lines. They are changing the suction lines to 2.5" and keep the return lines at 1.5". Is this sufficient or should the returns line be changed to 2"? Please help as we know nothing about...

    Thanks Matt. Can you explain the suction line, how do we manually clean the pool?

    New build in DFW

    Thanks for the comments. I didn't think all those parts would be $5000 more but the builder is very reputable here in the area so we are still unsure. Builder 3 has no bench in the bid and the deck is much smaller compare to the other two builders, 333 sq ft vs 450 sq ft. I was going to...

    New build in DFW

    Hi Everyone. We finally received three bids and unsure about the equipment and steel/gunite structure as this is our first pool build. I was wondering if everyone could please take a look and provide your recommendation? One builder has all these fancy A&A parts to improve circulation and...

    Hawks - Thank you and good luck on your build. We are nervous too, first pool and all. - - - Updated - - - Thanks. Just a question for you on SWG, both of our surrounding walls are flagstone (in the pictures, looks like brick but it is flagstone), those are the community walls and not ours...

    We didn't get Bart and I'm not too fond of my sales guy either but I didn't want to dismiss a good builder just because of the sales person. So hard to make a decision since I don't know anyone that owned a pool in Dallas. We moved from California and summer here is awful.

    True and so many restrictions so I'm not really sure what exactly are covered. Can the pool crack without soil movement? - - - Updated - - - Thank you and I agree with you but my husband is in love with the stepping stones so he knows that he needs to clean the spaces manually. There is a...

    Can anyone here share your experiences with these three builders, Klapprodt, Puryear and Pulliam? Any comments about these builders at all would be greatly appreciated as I'm trying to narrow down to one. Limited lifetime warranty excluding soil movement, war and act of God vs 3 years...

    Existing deck

    Hello, Not sure my question is in the right forum but here goes. We are planning to build a pool and not sure what to do with our existing deck. It's a concrete deck and only a year old. One PB suggest to pour over new concrete but that will cover all part of the weep holes. Any other...

    Would you mind sharing your PB name? I'm thinking of building a pool and Claffey was too high for my budget. Thanks.
