I am finally up to the water feature part of my pool build. I just want to enquire about which filter I should use. I have a hayward waterfall pump and want to filter the water before returning to the pool. The intake for the water comes from one of the skimmers and the return is 3 sheer descent...

Well I have a problem with my liner floating. I originally found one wrinkle in the liner after a heavy rain when I had unplugged the sump pump and forgot to plug it back in. At the time i could feel there was water behind the liner at the bottom of the deep end where it slopes 45 up to the...

OK, I was working on the plumbing when I realized that the Jandy two and three way valves have an "IN" marked on them. Some of the valves I did correctly and some I got reversed. The three way valves on the return header (manifold) are the right way but the ones on the suction side have the "IN"...

Well I am finally getting ready to open my pool. The water has been sitting stagnant since I filled it last fall but has filled up over time due to rain. I am just finishing the plumbing now and I want to get it up and running. Needless to say it is a swamp. I had a pool guy come over yesterday...

When I decided to build my own pool I knew that the weakest link in the build for me was going to be the plumbing. Here is a diagram of what I think will work. This schematic is based on all the information I could find on the web. Hopefully someone with more expertise could take a look at this...

What is the best way to reduce from the 2' PVC pipe to the 1 1/2" skimmer and return connections? Is it better to use 2" or 1 1/2" pipe from the pump outlet to the heater, filter and SWG and go back to 2" after the Jandy 3 way valves or use 2" all the way through? Thanks in advance,

How do I install a 11 1/2 inch flat light niche in a curved steel wall inground pool? Thanks,

Is 3/4 clear crushed limestone suitable material to use for backfill on a steel wall pool? Just wondering if the sharp corners would dent the steel walls. Thanks in advance,

Well I have started excavation for the wall that will retain the back side of my pool. While excavating we hit what I was concerned about, the water table. The elevation of the top of the retaining wall block was going to be the elevation of the bottom of the shallow end (see attached picture)...

Hello all, Awesome site with lots of info. I will be building my first in-ground vinyl liner pool. I became a TFP supporter so hopefully I can attach lots of pics to document the build and any pitfalls. As I stated in another post I am an excavator by trade with 27 years experience and have...

Hello, I am an excavator by trade and I am going to be building my first vinyl liner inground pool. The house I live in backs onto a ravine with about three to four feet deep of topsoil in the back yard. I need to raise the height of the pool a couple feet to match the grade at the house. In...

OK, I was just about to order a DIY pool kit from National Pool Wholesalers but in trying to get some answers to some questions I was not getting a warm and fuzzy feeling from their Customer service. I started to do more research on them and found enough cases of poor customer service that I...
