    Need a pool repair person in Durham NC

    We are having a few issues with our pool equipment (a valve actuator needing to be replaced, Levolor autofill not working and Pentair spa side remote issues). We had used a forum member in the past (Tim of Pool Harmony) but I have been unable to reach him over the last few months and I need...

    Considering owner/builder in Raleigh, NC

    Hi, we are in the Durham area and we used Jim Hinson pools in 2009 to put in our gunite pool. We got multiple estimates and the price we ended up paying for gunite was not that much higher than vinyl. Good luck!

    Keypad on top of the intelliflo pump came off

    Thanks. I did call and that's exactly what they said. Cheapest I found online is $540 plus installation. It will probably take a week to get the part and get it fixed. I just started to get the chemicals balanced in the last few days in hopes of swimming this weekend -obviously that's not...

    Keypad on top of the intelliflo pump came off

    This just happened to us. There was a storm. When I got home the pump was not running so I checked it out and the keyboard part of the intelliflow control had popped up and when I tried to touch it sparks flew. Anyone know what we need to do in this case? I will try to upload a picture..

    Urgent! What to do about gap between coping and tile?

    Trying to figure this out on such short notice has been really stressfull so thank you everyone for chiming in! The PB suggested I try SONOLASTIC NP1 one part polyurathane sealant but when I tried it on Sat it looked really uneven and sloppy - it was really thick and I couldn't find a way to...

    Urgent! What to do about gap between coping and tile?

    They started laying our travertine coping yesterday using mud and there is a 3/8-1/2 gap between the coping stone and the waterline tile (the tile has a wavy edge that's not helping either). They said that was the smallest they could get it. I was freeaking out yesterday and now I have kind of...

    Sunstone Pearl Black Pearl

    Hi Sweetsmiles and thank you for keeping your eyes open for me! Unfortunately it looks like we have to cut out the pebble finish and instead go with the the regular Sunstone Quartz. There was a $1500 difference from the Quartz and we decided on puting the money towards the Easytouch automation...

    Sunstone Pearl Black Pearl

    Hi budster, thank you so much for responding! It's a CLI product and I believe the pebble colors are pre-mixed by the manufacturer.

    Sunstone Pearl Black Pearl

    I am signing a contract today and the PB wants an answer about the pool finish. I was hoping that someone here might have a picture of a pool with the Sunstone Pearl Black Pearl finish. Our PB does not normally do pebble finishes and does not have any pictures. I tried CLI and they said they...

    Need your opinion on our pool specs!

    Budster thanks so much for you input! It was so hard to come to a descision about everything. It's good to know I've made good choices so far. I will check with the PB about the cleaner booster pump. It would be great if we don't need it. Thanks for clarifing that about the intellibrite. The...

    Need your opinion on our pool specs!

    I was hoping to get your comments on the pool specs/equipment we are thinking about: ~587 sq foot inground gunite pool (I will try to post the design later but it’s like a roman that zig zags once around the existing patio with the spa on the other end) 40’ long (7' for the half circle...
