So I am a relatively new owner of a small covered pool. I have read the pool school multiple times and keep a printed copy near my TFT-100 test kit. I have not had much trouble at all adjusting chemicals thanks to this site and the pool calculator. My question is if I should adjust my chemical...

So my pool is still in the build process. There is water in the pool up to just below the skimmer. We are waiting for the waterline tile to be installed. The pump is running on low. The builder is still "mostly" in control of the water. I just did this test to make sure nothing was crazy out of...

My builder wants to backfill the last 18" of depth around my fiberglass pool with flowable fill. The base and fill so far has been pea gravel. I can't find much information on using flowable fill as backfill for a pool. Does anyone have any advice?

Today the builder ran the plumbing for our new pool. They are using all 2" plumbing. I have the following equipment: pump, cartridge filter, heater, Goldline cell SWG. (Details in my sig). I'll try to describe the plumbing as it was too dark to get a pic by the time they left. Separate main...

We (my wife and I) are just starting an install of a small fiberglass pool that will have a swim current machine installed. I've been on the site for a while asking various pool related questions, and it has been a great help with my pool equipment selections. I'm adding a few pictures of the...

I'm getting an IG fiberglass pool installed and the equipment was just delivered. I had spec'd PAL 2000 lights in the contract, but they delivered PAL TREO lights. From what I understand the TREO is more of a retrofit light. From the pictures is looks like the housing sticks pretty far out from...

I'm having a 3900 gallon IG fiberglass exercise pool installed. The pool builder just delivered the equipment which is sitting in my back yard. Problem is it is altered from what we contracted for. They delivered a 1.5 HP tri-star 2-speed pump, which I know is over sized for the pool. They...

This is a very similar question to the one in "Oversized Salt Water Generator" but I wanted to check and see if the advise in that thread holds up when we are talking one third the amount of water. I'm getting a small exercise pool installed. I guess some might call it a spool. It is 8 x 17 x...

I'm getting a small exercise pool installed. I guess some might call it a spool. It is 8 x 17 x 5. Once you remove the volume taken by the steps and bench it is only about 3900 gallons. I am getting the pool installed raised slightly. The water level will be equal or less than 18 inches above...

Hi everyone. Just about to get a new pool installed. I've been reading and searching through these forums for months now. Amazingly good information. I've read a few posts that mention getting your tap water tested if you are using it to fill you pool but I have not seen any mention of what to...

Pool Planning Mockup - Criticism Welcome I am getting a new fiberglass pool. My pool will be relatively small (8" x 17" x 5" with approx 3900 gallons of water). The pool is really an exercise pool for my wife and I. We both like to swim regularly and are tired of fighting the crowds at the...
