I am in the middle of a pool install and the installer cracked the patio under my hot tub so time to go inground with that too. My pool equipment can support a spa so just need the shell and I will plumb it from the pool heater.

Where can I buy a small 6'x6' spa shell near Virginia and how much do they cost? I see San Juan pools have a Cove spa that is what I want but I just want the shell. Thanks

The PB said he is excited about getting the wrinkles out in my pool because he bought dive equipment and has not had a chance to use it yet. I will hold off on saying who my PB is yet until the final outcom. He has extra work that we have not written a contract on yet IE spa and expanding the...

Marina those are wrinkles. The PB is having a hard time due to the cold so his plan is to dive the pool to get the wrinkles out once we fill and heat it to 80. He said he has built over 1000 pools and he has done it before. I trust he knows what he is doing but I am worried but if he has to...

So After many years with different Intex pools I am going In ground. I'm squeezing in a 12X30 and I have just 6 feet all the way around to the house and the property line and that's the minimum by code here in Norfolk. Hayward 250000 BTU Gas heater. Hayward DE filter. Hayward single speed pump...

Does anyone know of a inground pool bench that is not very deep. I have limited space to the property line but I would like to have a small 2 person bench in the deep end that only sticks out a foot or two. and also an entry step that is only 4 or 5 feet wide. I'm puttin in a liner pool and am...

Dan she said that she does plumb the floor separate from the skimmers and I believe she is plumbing the skimmers separate from each other as well. According to the documentation the T-9 works up to 25K Gallons. Is the Sense and Dispense worth it?

Norfolk Va Here is the Quote. I don't know if it's proper to name the company and the installer on here. If anyone has had a pool installed in the Hampton Roads area please let me know if you have recommendations or horror stories. $26,000 14X30 in ground 3.5' to 7' depth with 3ft concrete...

Hello, Just wondering how your pool build went. Would you recommend your pool builder? I'm looking on doing an in-ground soon and wondering about builders in the area and who to get quotes from.

Heck No. I think the outlet they are plugged into is only a 15 amp and they are both running on a 25 ft extension cord to one of those Christmas light power strips. I have been doing that for years.

right now I have to clean the filter every other day because of the spring stuff falling off the trees But in the summer I usually clean it twice a week. When I first opened the pool I ran the SWG for 10 hrs a day for 4 days until I could smell chlorine in the water then stepped it down to 5...

Has anyone used Steps with an Intex Ultra Frame pool? something like the Wedding Cake steps or similar? I am wondering how close can you get to the side of the pool because it seems like the bottom of the pool slopes up pretty far into the pool and the steps could not be close to the side of the...

I have 1 adapter that came with the pool http://www.intexcorp.com/index.php/repl ... 10722.html I found that this adapter can be screwed down tight on 1" PVC pipe so all I need is one more adapter and then do everything in PVC I plan on going into a PVC Y and then to a 1 " to 1/2 in fitting...

you can't put the SWG on a timer it has to have power for the memory. Once you turn the power on to the SWG and set how many hours it will run it will start up the same time every day and run for that many hours. I have the same size pool and I run my SWG for 5 hrs every day and I have the 2500...

I have the same pool. Put it up last year and left it up through the winter here in Virginia. I think at one time I had 2 inches of ice in the pool. I opened mine about 3 weeks ago added water because I had it lower than the plumbing holes and put in 3 or 4 bags of salt and back to beautiful...

Yes it is an Intex pool. I live in Norfolk va so I have city water that is perfect and I have used it for years in my 18 ft blue blob intex pool but they no longer let us report that we filled a pool and not charge sewer charge so I was trying to fill my new 12x24x52 intex pool on the cheep. I...

The water was orange going into the pool and was black after I ran the salt water system for 7 hours. I would have tried to stick with it but I could already see the stains on the liner and was worried I would end up with a clear water pool just to see orange stains on the liner. I am hoping...

I had to drain my pool. I was trying to use well water, being cheep, but OMG I had a black pool less than 24 hrs after filling it. I used the filter pump to drain all the water and I got it down to less than 2 inches but it could have been better. First I just took the skimmer basket loose from...

I have the same problem with my pool. I was warned about trying well water but the city water is so expensive and they no longer let me take off the sewer charge for filling a pool. As far as getting the last bit of water out of the pool I have done this many times. I use the pool filter pump...

Wow that is a nice looking install. My backyard is a lot smaller so the pool takes up pretty much the entire thing. I used a water level to make sure all the paivers were at the same level and then placed a 12ft ladder on the paivers and checked that they all touched and the ladder was level. so...

I went with the 1/2 in padding. Did you find that the measurements are a little off in that table? If I was going to start over I would have laid the foam padding at 12X24 and butted the pavers right up to the foam padding. It would have saved me a lot of time laying out and squaring off the...

that was quick. I am still leveling my blocks and waiting for the rain to stop now. did you go with the 1" foam padding under the pool or just set it on the ground?

OK I measured the spacing between the blocks. they should be standard for all size pools as they just add B or E pipes depending on the size. I have a 12 X 24 that I am setting up and I measured 44 inches on center for the long side or the A B B B B C side and I measured 40 inches on center for...

I am setting my blocks now. I decided to use the measurements from that page and also i put the frame for the top on the ground and use that as a guide to place the blocks. making sure the frame is laying on the ground square and the distance at each corner is about the same.

I use ground Cinnamon in places where pets are and it works great, if you have ants in the house like on the kitchen counter where you don't want to use poison. You will have to make sure it stays dry for a little while but once the ants walk through the cinnamon it gets in their joints and...

I think this is what you were looking for. Bottom of first page in this thread: through-wall-skimmer-on-rectangular-intex-ultra-frame-update-t40861.html This chart shows the measurement length and width but as far as the distance between the blocks I don't know. My plan is to build a 6" wide...

Interesting mod on the pump. I would just check that it isn't getting to hot. I think the pump is air cooled. If it get's to hot the motor will not last long. Cool Idea with the fish. I grew up swimming in the bay off Green Bay Wi. and believe me it's called Green Bay for a reason. I remember...

A good way to check level on a large scale is using a water level. I found a link here on how to do it. http://www.deckmagazine.com/article/64.html it's just a clear rubber tube with water in it. You place one end as a reference point and move the other end around to check. Cheep and more...
