It suppose to fall below freezing in the wee hours tonight. Do I run all my pumps on high and heat pump heater to avoid any issues?

My obvious concern and priority are my family. This storm has us stressed enough. On Wednesday we were planning to leave but all signs were pointing to east coast hit. People with no gas getting stuck on roads was a concern to leave after that etc...Well we know that changed and it's on track...

I found some old threads with mixed opinions on this subject matter. If my schedule sticks we should be finishing the pool with pebble sheen(blue surf) next Thursday and acid washing/pool fill Friday. How long after should I wait to let the kids in? The PB does 1 month of start up, I will be...

Not happy with skimmer cut into the coping. On my last pool it was not cut into the coping but right behind it. Can these be extended? PB said That's how they go. The front of the skimmer has to reach the tile. Or at least come close. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am about to get plumbing done and needed advice on pump HP size. I am contracted for a 2HP Hayward super pump that was going to handle 4 returns, 2 bubblers and a 3' sheer descent. My PB suggested a 1HP for the water features and even dropping the 2HP to 1HP for the 4 returns. I asked...

I originally have my Hayward color logic large LED positioned on the shallow end wall aiming to the deep end and not sure if I should reverse it and place in deep end pointed to shallow end? Also from all of your experience will another smaller niche led light be needed for the sun shelf it...

Hey folks, I received tremendous help in the past on my previous build and wanted to thank you for that! We recently moved to a newer home last year with a beautiful deep conservation sunset views . What I miss most about my last home was the pool we built and the outdoor living area to go with...

So I called my PB's baby fence barrier company to add a self closing gate. He asked me what type of decking-travertine. He mentioned to properly secure the posts they should have a footer poured every 36" for the posts under the travertine if it's layed on concrete base and sand. The decking is...

I follow these boards and really do appreciate all the advice. The new build construction is an interesting process. We are currently about 3 weeks away or less on taking a swim! Tomorrow, the inspection, if everything passes, Tuesday pour the footers and raised pool wall beam tier stepup...

Now it may not be done 100% but when I asked the equipment installer, he indicated that he elevates all the equpment. I emailed the pool builder regarding the look and hopefully I get an answer that satisfies us both. The heatpro looks a little large for this platform as well, although it stll...

I have been following these boards for ideas and knowledge shared. This is our first pool build and it's so exciting to experience the conceptual to finish product. We had 4 bids and in the end, reputation, follow up and overall gut feeling finalized our decision, not the lowest price, not the...
