So, I'm guessing metals from the tap? Iron, copper? The water is crystal clear, it's just greenish. If it helps, we also just repainted the pool (epoxy). We don't have the pump or any chemicals in just yet, literally just filled it. Will the color clear up with filtration or do we need to...

Well, "evidence" might be too strong of a word. My concern is pretty much exclusively based on Amazon reviews which, admittedly, I place too much stock in. Still, across the various IntelliBrite models (same unit, different cable lengths) there are a lot of very similar sounding stories. It...

So, I'm planning to buy an IntelliBrite 5G but based on a lot of reports, the Pentair seals are garbage. Or rather, the design is garbage. Unlike an incandescent, the LED circuit board appears to have zero tolerance for moisture. This appears to cause a much higher failure rate than I'm...

Time to replace a bad light fixture, I'm wondering if anyone has any experiences with either brand they'd like to share. Local pool place is recommending Savi which I'd never heard of. Pentair 5G seems to be the go to.

So, I'm in the process of slamming for both mustard algae and black algae. It's a good time, believe me. The pool hadn't been cared for by the previous owners so there's a mess to clean up. This is my second attempt at shocking because my first attempt was aborted too soon. My question is, what...

Thanks Aloha76. That makes me feel a lot better. I've done some research on filling cracks in decking, feel pretty confident that we can get them taken care of. Duraleigh - So would it be fair to say I probably have two leaks? One on the suction side and one in the pump house? If I might ask...

Thanks Patrick. I did some more research on Amazon on the covers. Hopefully that's a good place to get information. I think I found one that will work. Still tackling lots of the other issues I mentioned with the best Google-fu I can muster.

I have lots of questions so I'll try to keep this as brief as possible! - The jets seem to be spitting out a lot of bubbles, small ones constantly, bigger ones ever 2-3 seconds. I'm worried one of the pipes has a puncture or something allowing air to seep in like a cracked straw. - The pool...

Thanks. The search at this point was really just to get a sense for what the market looks like in the area. I have a reasonably good idea of what the pool should cost based on what I see other folks around here paying. My concern was that in a low-competition area like NE, I'd have to pay a lot...

Right you are! in fact, I just got a callback from one today. That's quite a relief, I was afraid I'd be limited to 1 or 2 choices. Thanks for everyone's input. Still love to hear from someone in my area with direct knowledge as a testimonial though.

Thanks. I'm already having a hard time getting folks to even call me back. I'd love the info if you could PM me. Would a builder from KS really drive all the way here to put in a pool though? I wasn't even certain Omaha builders would.

I'm starting some initial research on putting an inground pool in and I'd love to bring in some vendors. However, this being Lincoln, NE, there aren't a lot of folks to chose from. I'd really feel a lot better to hear from someone with direct experience in my area? Anyone have any advice on...
