I plan on doing some mild plaster patching as I do have a few rough areas but it should be looking good after that. Rubberized paints and acrylic paints last a few years at best but good epoxy paints last a minimum of 7 as they have a warranty stating this. It is still a lot of money, I...

A gunite pool needs to be replastered every 7-12 years(according to multiple websites) and costs 3,000 dollars. I cant see off hand how it can be the best choice when paint costs 500 and has a warranty of 7 years. I'm new to pools so if I am missing something please let me know.

They guarantee the paint for 8 years and I don't plan on staying in my house that long. It seems like a good option for me and it will save me several thousand dollars!

Lifeguardpaint.com has epoxy paint in 100 different colors. not any near the color I want. Sscoatings.com has a paint called poolcoat and they say they can match any color. I will give them a call.

Help with Epoxy paint Have I posted this question in the right section? Has no one ever used a custom tinted pool paint before? I find that hard to believe. Well I guess I will have to figure it out and post my findings here to help someone else.

Help with Epoxy paint You can't just use any epoxy paint as I was told. They have to be designed for pool use because of the chlorine environment. I have called all of my local paint stores already to no avail.

I am in the process of refurbishing the pool that came with my foreclosure house (lots of work)! I have had my heart set on a cobalt blue paint for the pool and attached spa. I figured they could tint it like they do all other paints. Does anybody have any ideas how to get this accomplished for...

Well my intelliflo will be here soon. I uncovered the pool and now to start cleaning! Thanks for the advice. I'm sure I will have plenty more questions to come. I am thinking about switching over to salt maybe next year if it sounds like it is going to be easier to maintain and cost less in...

My pool has 3 eyeball returns and they are 1". The 3 suction side pipes im not sure of. I originally thought it was 1 per each skimmer in the pool and one for the pool drain. But with everything as dirty as it is, its really hard to tell. I am not sure if the spa can be isolated or not i didnt...

Could you tell me what size pump i would need for just the pool as it stands? My father said he would pay to get the pool up and running but that was with a regular pump he isn't going to go for a 900 dollar pump, trust me i tried :) So if i went with a super pump to just run the pool what size...

So if i put a vs pump on i still need a bypass to take the surplus pressure off of the filter? Is there pressure regulating valves for that or do u recommend a ball valve or maybe a jandy valve? I am definitely considering a vs pump now if i can fit it into the budget :).

Also the wife won't let me uncover it until i have the equipment and everything ready to go because she is worried about the kids getting into it.

I'm in the atlanta area. I think this covering is pretty standard for foreclosures. They have to ensure no one can drown in it. I have to base everything off of how the plumbing system looks. Based on the return lines i am guessing its 2 skimmers, pool vacuum and a floor drain. That is using the...

Here are some pictures of my pool for your entertainment, it's going to take a lot of work for sure!

I have never used the pool or the equipment at all. I assume the filter cant handle the flow rate needed for the spa. The spa is connected to the pool and is not raised, it is probably a 50' run to the pump from the spa. My idea with 2 pumps would be to y the inlet pipes and then run into the...

Took me a while to figure out how to upload thru my phone. What i have figured is I can buy a 1hp or whatever size pump for the pool right now and next year get a big pump for the spa. The prices i am seeing for a 1hp hayward super pump is about 300 and about 400 for 2hp. Let me know if these...

I am at work and my phone won't let me upload pics; I will post some pictures tonight when i get the kids in bed. Other than the jets in the spa there arent any other returns( at least not to my knowledge i cant see the bottom due to dirt/leaves). The pool didnt come with any controller and i...

I just recently bought a house that came with an abandoned pool with attached spa. The main pump was stolen or otherwise removed. So i have been doing a lot of research on what size pump to use. I assume it originally had a 2 speed pump to accommodate the spa here r the specs of the pool. 15'...
