I appreciate that link regarding coping. In reading that link it looks like cantilever coping requires a plastic sheet or roofing felt in between the deck and top of the bond beam. On my pool in the pictures I can see that plastic sheet there. It looks like to me that it's there for the deck to...

thanks for the input jedi.

Hi everyone, I am in the process of getting quotes to resurface and retile my pool. 2 of the 4 contractors pointed out the tile falling off can only be repaired by replacing the coping. The existing coping is cantilever and would require being cut out and replaced with what ever coping material...

Hi All, I recently installed the PoolCleaner using the blue rubber adapter and regulator valve and supplied hoses. When the pool pump is on, it's much louder and noisier and there's a lot of air in the pump basket. With the PoolCleaner unplugged from the skimmer (no dedicated vacuum port) the...

I replaced all the grids and manifold. i think DE is still returning to the pool. These two pictures were taken 10 days apart. the first photo is after the pool was vacuumed. What should I check next?

Updated the OP with photos... Thanks for the suggestion jbizzle. I was leaning towards replacing the grids and manifold, just wanted confirmation.

Hi All, Pool rookie here. Purchased the house with pool about 2 years ago. Last week I noticed the pool had DE all over the surface. My pool guy says the DE is returning to the pool because the filter (pentair FNS plus 48) is old and needs to be replaced. The filter was last cleaned by the pool...

Just wanted to say hi! I purchased a home with an in ground pool and spa over a year ago. Have been lurking on the forums reading up on pool care. Now looking to resurface and retile it
