We have a "sport bottom" inground that is 3.5' at each end and 6' in the middle that we installed this year. I need to get final signoff from the building inspector, but can't find anything in the ISPSC that requires stickers. The pool manufacturer sent some, just not sure if I have to use them...

I used 2" flex PVC for both the returns/suction side of the AquaGenie skimmers I used in my own pool. On the return side, I had a leak and ended up needing to cut out a short run of 2" rigid PVC pipe that went directly into the coupler collar on the bottom of the AquaGenie. So I spent two hours...

We just opened our 16x36' inground built from a PW kit yesterday. It has two AquaGenies on one wall (so a return/intake in each) with an additional return on the other wall. Each return and intake has a ball-valve shut off. If I'm vacuuming, should I shut off the intake from one of the AquaGenies?

Struggling a bit to get the rubber bead on the back of the liner to fit into the receiver channels on the Hydra steel steps. I have to press so hard, the plastic install tools they sent are cutting into the rubber bead. Is there some sort of lubricant like dish soap or something I could use, or...

We have an inground vinyl over steel wall kit from PW and are attempting the liner install today. Rolled it all out, and noticed that the spacing between seams is a bit off. For example, it's a "sport court" bottom, so shallow at each and, and deep in the middle. The hopper should be 24" wide...

I have a liner-over-steel wall kit I bought from PW. They recommend a mix of ten parts sand and one part cement for the pool floor. I understand you can't have rain while it's setting up, but once it's cured, can it get rained on? I guess what I'm asking is how solid will this be.

I bought a DIY rectangular inground pool kit from Pool Warehouse. Dig a hole, bolt together some steel walls in the hole, and drop a liner over the whole thing. There are braces every ~8' or so along the outside with turnbuckles to make the walls plumb. A concrete collar was then poured ~8" deep...

I am installing a 16'x36' steel wall inground pool kit from PW. The walls include holes in the bottom flange to hammer rebar through. They recommend one piece of rebar per panel. I need to pour a ~8" thick concrete collar around the base of the outside pool walls. I know the concrete must be...

Installing a vinyl over steel panel inground sport-bottom kit from Pool Warehouse. Excavated the other day, and at one end it's pretty muddy and there's a bit of water. There's a "T" where two supply lines for my irrigation system run off in opposite directions from the main feed neat this end...

Hi all, We are looking to install an inground pool from a DIY kit later this year. I went to my town's website, and for the permit they require both a land plot showing the pool location (which I have), and what they call "construction plans". Does anyone that has built recently have an example...

I've got a brand new Hayward XStream150 cartridge filter/pump for my 10k gallon AGP. This combo is fairly oversized for a pool this size, but its nice in that I only run it ten hours a day and get plenty of filtering. Plus, I got a good deal on it. The only issue is that it is LOUD. A simple...

I seem to be having a bit of trouble getting my liner installed on a 15x26' 54" depth oval AGP. It is very tight in a few spots against the wall. Really, I mean its tight so much so that its tough to feel the wall as the liner is pulling away from it. All of my seams are pretty straight and...

I am in the process of installing a 15x26 Sharkline Matrix AGP. I wanted to make sure my plan for the electrical is OK. I currently have an outdoor outlet on the side of my house. It is a weathertight, in-use, GFIC outlet. The issue is that it is 20 feet from where I want to put the...
