Hey guys, considering to build a pool at my mom's house in Florida. Not sure what the code is for how away from wall and sliding glass doors a pool can be? I see neighbors have pools very close to the wall and doors so not sure if grandfathered in etc? What is the allowable distance from pool...

Hey guys, when we tiled our waterline, the company drilled into my gunite to make anchors to hold up tiles while they cured. I was not there during the day and didnt see the process (sigh), I just see now all the small holes from drilling. Anyhow, maybe this is just the way its done for heavier...

Re: Sealing stacked stones and dying homemade diamond brite? Hi guys, can anyone help?

Hi everyone! Couple questions, can someone tell me what sealer to use that wont make a wet look on stacked stones but wont cause efforescence? Reason being when the stones are wet they really darken the stones and make mine look a bit orange. What happens if no sealer is used? I guess scale and...

I understand that you can do plaster underwater but can you also do diamond brite under water? He said he himself doesnt do coping or pool deck, but he told me pool companies are now offering coping over coping options when tiling or paving over existing pavers so all would be same level.

Hi everyone, we are doing remodel and our pool leak contractor is probably also doing our pool tiles. We just found a leak at the spa and are about to fix. This sort of spurred together a remodel project. Previous owner had plaster repairs done in pool and they took terrible. They are...

Hi everyone! No, unfortunately this house was bank owned and in shambles, barely discounted but we have been looking to buy a house for almost a year! LOL So any advice?

Hi there! Thank you! LOL The water level was right below the pool light always, but since the seller says he fixed the pool light niche, the water level is now above that area but below the returns, however he is filling it up constantly with a hose just staying at a steady small stream so I...

Hi Guys, Im closing on a house that had a pretty bad pool, was green and overlooked for a while. The water seemed to always be right below the level of the pool light. The seller got the pool blue again, but every time I see the pool, the spa and the pool are both low in water. The seller had...

Hi guys. This is a 9.5ft deep pool if that changes anything. Here is the exact model number of the pump I had before. No matter what, water trickled out of the spa overflow unless the pool returns were shut off completely. I cannot run water curtains unless all pool returns are off. Super II...

Hi, I will definitely get another pic and pic of the old super II pump. Are you sure Im reading charts wrong? You are probably right! Super II I thought has 130 gph and 75mm head Super I SP2615X20 I thought has 120gph and 90mm head Maybe I need a super II 2.5hP? I dont really want to splurge...

Hey! I appreciate this so much! Are you saying that based on the head? I dont know enough about this, but do Spa jets need more head? The comparison between super II and super I is this: Super II has 130 gph and 75mm head Super I has 120gph and 90mm head

Ok they said they will take it back for a credit, so now I dont know what to do. I need help. What pump should I replace with??????????? Super II 2 hp or Super II 2.5 hp. :( I dont know what if anything I can do with plumbing. I would liek to replace pump with something that can handle spa jets.

Thanks guys, Here is a pic of pool valves in pool/spill-over mode. Or so I thought,,,? Do I have the valves right? So what size filter is recommended? I can see from specs that the Super II has 130 gph and 75mm head Super I has 120gph and 90mm head. Looks like Super I might be better for me...

I never thought the super II was enough flow for the spa. In spillover mode, it barely came out with super ii pump, but now seems worse with super pump. Maybe my valves are wrong. Ill look for a pic.

is 2 hp enough or is 2.5-3hp needed? I dont really get much spillover at the spa. We have 28k gallons, 10 ft deep, 3 returns in pool, 4 returns in spa, 2 water curtain features that dont run at the same time sadly.

Why a 2 speed? Does that mean that sometimes during the less speed it will move less water and during the high speed, more water? Will this affect the look of the water coming out of the spa? It barely trickles out now. :( Not sure if I can return it, bought it at pinch a penny.

Hi there, anyone know if it sounds like the thermal overload might be the issue in my broken superII pump? We already replaced capacitor. Pump runs for few seconds and then trips breaker. I guess maybe motor bearings wiring could be possible? Any way to know? What are key differences for...

Hi guys, so we had a big lightening surge and lots of appliances, trees, were hit in my town. My Super II 2Hp pump died. It was one speed. After the surge it would just keep humming. Thanks to the posts here, we replaced the start capacitor and were really excited that we got it to run, but it...

Ok you need to come to my house and quote me on doing my waterline tile. What A GREAT job buddy.

I use 1/3 chlorine to 2/3 water and test a spot on your pavers/ground surface and test on the actual screen enclosure and screen first. I have a white enclosure a black mesh screen. It works well. Not sure if you have a darker enclosure. So, please test small spot. I put it in one of those high...

Im now wondering if there is anything that can be placed on a jandy valve to prevent someone from turning it in to cause this problem again.

Oh yea, I dont know why the pic wasnt able to upload but its fixed now! We took off all panels to expose wires and see if relay or wires were burned but all looked great so I was stumped. Then, an installer tech confirmed that if the spa valve is closed when the skimmer is closed, the heater...

Here is how they had the valve :(

Does this sound like electrical wiring? Compressor? Heat Exchanger? :( :(

Such a bummer, the person I had scheduled for today cancelled on me. No error codes, its an older aquacal with hardly any usage, coils, and fins look great, never had any issue, always powers up, always heats fast. Its weird because when I got there and saw the valve turned the wrong...

Thank you! :-) Very nice of you to say! Maybe that is a good luck charm and someone will tell me something good! LOL

Hi guys my heat pump was working fine yesterday and today I believe my friend put the valve the wrong way and the heat pump may have ran dry. When I came home there was no condensation on the ground and the spa was not warming. The air above the fan blades seemed warm whereas they are always...

Hi guys We keep loosing heat from evaporation and it kills my power bills to run the Heat Pump so often for my kids. I found that when I covered the pool at night, I could get away with the heat pump running half as much. Heat pump is self-regulated and I see running costs online from my energy...
