Thanks for the reply. The well does have a drIan so water wont collect in there. The crew did empty out the filter and lines. I’ll pull the pump out of the pool when the temp gets down below freezing and stays there. Right now I placed the pump on a brick to keep it from staining but now...

Thanks for all the help. I really appreciate it. I reached out to the pool builder and let him know about the equipment changes. The robot seems like the best option. I’ll have to go research models and brands to see which ones are rated the best. Better to go Pentair or I don’t need to...

The pool builder said that with the auto cover the pool will easily keep temp with a heat pump?

Thanks for the replies! I will definately talk to them about making it 3’6” at least in the shallow end. For some reason I thought 3m would be deep enough. I’ve read about robots and am interested in any suggestions on a model? Also what does the pool builder have to install now so I can...

Well after a nightmare of about three years with getting ripped off from my first pool company, to fighting the town over the mess they left, to finally getting permits issued to my new pool company!!!! It’s been a long fight but we are finally moving in the right direction. We are up in the...

Getting ready to sign contract for IG SW 18x36 rectangular gunite pool with auto cover. I’m located in Westchester, NY and dont have natural gas so will be getting a heat pump. No spa. Pentair equipment. Just wanted to run this by everyone and see if I should change some of the equipment...

I dont remember which model easytouch or filter I asked for but I will switch to your recommendations. Also looking to dump th PH, anywhere I can save money is a plus! I forget why I picked the intellivalve right now. I assume I dont need it? I'm going with the heat pump because my only...

Hello Everyone! My name is Pat and I'm in Northern Westchester, NY. I'm getting ready to have a pool installed and have been researching what I need to know when I found this site. Went through pool school and and trying to get up to speed. I'm a handy guy and fix/build everything myself so...

Yeah the wifi for the phone is optional to control everything. It comes with a remote which is nice if you want to warm up the spa before going out one night or raise the temp of the pool. The system seems good I just want heating and pump and filter that work with it.

I see from what I've been reading here that the mineral system is bad for the pool. He's installing the zodiac iaqualink for automation power center and I would need something that works with that. I really need to get the whole system in line before the build and not waster money buying a...

Thanks for the reply. So either salt water or liquid chlorine is the way to go. The salt water system they use is the zodiac nature2 fusion soft.

Hello all! I found this site while researching my new pool. I'd love to ask some general equipment questions and ideas. My pool will begin construction next month. It will be an 18x36 gunite pool with spa. Hopefully this is the right place to post these questions. I'm still learning...
