Thank you for the information! I’ve forwarded this to my son to familiarize himself with the method.

Can’t thank you all enough for sharing your knowledge and advice here. We’re going to get start getting the water cleared up so the leak detection can begin. I’ll post again once we’re at that point.

The attached photo shows the water line right after we removed the cover. The light niches were still under water at this point. Did we jump the gun by removing the winter plugs and allowing the water into the pipes? Should we cap all the intakes and returns and let the leak continue until it...

We just removed cover and in the process of adding water to begin opening process of testing, treating, clearing, balancing etc. It became obvious we’ve got a leak somewhere. We’ve not started the system yet so Pretty sure it’s in the liner, but honestly, I don’t have a clue where to start...

Disregard my previous post….. I just attempted successfully to move the thing to my desired selection of 20% every hour. Apparently the interpretation of all the various light messages is a bit out of my wheelhouse….. Like so many technical things are for me these days. So relieved it appears...

The problem I ran into is that I’m unable to cancel the boost mode. I’ve followed the instructions by pressing more and less buttons at the same time. The lights will just change from simultaneous flashing to left to right flashing. They will not return to stationary green light at my choice of...

I’ve had no luck stopping this and have no idea what it means. I’ve held less and more buttons and it will only change to flashing green left to right or all flashing green at the same time. Cell is only a few years old. Please share your advice.

FC - .5 CC - 1.0 Starting today with the liquid chlorine. From other threads It's my understanding I shouldn't connect SWG yet. I added salt before I read that I shouldn't do that either. Can you tell me what FC number I should be aiming for so I knw how much to add? Thanks for reading my post!

I bet the news crew may have been interested in the mosquito breeding ground you're dealing with when they were imploring folks to get rid of standing water! Neighbors wouldn't have been happy, but they should be ashamed of themselves

:party:We have prime!!!!!! The culprit was the pipe going directly into front of the pump!! OH what a AWESOME feeling.. to see water coming out of the returns!!! Once that section was removed and replaced, she primed within seconds. Pressure gauge on filter shows 15 psi. Now we can add salt...

Skimmers definitely aren't plugged or obstructed. Will make sure check valve is installed correctly tomorrow. Thank you James

Filter is Pentair Clean & Clear Plus 420. Line from pump does go into top port. Here's another photo.

This was a photo taken a few days ago. Just wanted to show the equipment and layout in the event a photo may help.

Dave - This is a DYI project. Hired excavation, electrical, pool bottom & liner installation. DH did all the plumbing. Jason - Yes we've isolated the suction lines and tried each one separately. The pump may actually be at or slightly below water level. DH just realized he didn't seal the...

I hope we can get some help. Just completed our beautiful new pool build, filled with water as of yesterday, and we cannot get pump to prime. We've followed instructions to the T and have repeated the process countless times. We've read every thread on here I could find. Can't find any air...

DH adjusted walls and now we're square to within 1/4". Level is within 1/4" as well. WOO-HOO!!! :whoot:Thanks for all the help! Jan

Dave - You just made us feel a whole lot better... Thanks! We were thinking we would have to take one whole side apart & move it. Decking will be concrete. Visually, at this point anyway, I don't see anything that would make me think it's not square; however that said, if we leave it as is...

Apparently so, Jason!... Glad you included the link.. I was thinking "what do my joints have to do with it"...:hammer: LOL!!! Anyway, it just sucks to think we've got it right, then put corners & steps in & find out we're off. I just hope the last portion on the end (steps) is all we have to...

Hubby has everything staked and we're spot on as far as being level; However, when measuring from corner to corner today, measurement shows 4" off!!! :mad: Hubby is a perfectionist and we've measured seam to seam on sides and ends.. each measurement is spot on 36' & 18'! Checking for level...

Thanks OntarioPoolGuy... Looks like hubby gets to buy some new tools !!

We bought our the basic kit from Royal but chose to get our equipment from other sources and saved a bunch:whoot:. However, because we didn't buy our lights from Royal, they wouldn't send us "light" panels:shock:. Now we need to determine what's the best way to cut the hole for the light niches...

Superfly - A few months back hadn't even questioned having main drain, but after doing research on here, started questioning if it was truly necessary. Check this thread out: http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/38683-Do-I-even-need-a-main-drain. I'd read that the main source of leak issues in...

I'll try to get out there today do get some pics. We've got the pool and cabana drawn out in paint. Loved watching your build last year bmoreswim!.. turned out Amazing!!! Can totally relate to the pic of your Christmas tree coming down. DH took down our Christmas tree from '92 a couple of weeks...

Thanks Blueskies.. I'll check on forms with Royal!.. Would love it if I find this would be an affordable upgrade. Making a list of questions to ask concrete guy on Monday.

WOW!!.. Way more than I would have expected. At this point, we're under budget so thought I could upgrade, but if cantilevered concrete is that much more than standard aluminum coping.. probably wouldn't be worth it. Thanks for replying Donny!

Hi Ya'll! Taking a break from working on our taxes (UUGGGHH :pukel:). Ordered all equipment this week which is scheduled to arrive on Wed. We'll order the kit last week of March. Dig to start April 15, weather permitting. I've realized that "OMG!!! This is REALLY gonna happen.. and really...

Oops... Also, how deep should deep return be and is this a good location for that?? thanks!

Okay.. Made a couple of changes to drawing. Now I'm down to 4 total returns. Is this enough, given we won't have main drains? It seems to me there's a consensus here that if you maximize circulation with skimmers and returns, you can get by without the mains. Is that correct...
