I was able to fix the waterfall by cutting the line behind the outlet and found a mangled gasket from the check valve after the heater/filter.

Thanks - I thought about that, but was concerned with the 1/4" slit opening at the waterfall end that I may end up just pushing something further down the line and having it stuck behind the waterfall. I have no idea what could be intriduced into the piping after the filter/heater. I checked...

Hi all. Was out of town for a 10 days to find my pool caretaker took less than good care of the pool. They allowed the water to go below the skimmers (luckily was still set to draw from the bottom drain). Managed to get the valves all our of sync in trying to turn on the heater..... Had...

I'll see if I can find a plaster pic tonight. I'm glad that we used the plain old white, as it seems to make our BBB water look that much better

Final photos. Overall happy with the build/builder. Suprised that it took < 30 days start to finish. :party:

SVRS device reemoved and drain plug replaced - problem solved... thx

Not so sure this is a good idea..... http://www.wptv.com/content/news/centra ... NSCBQ.cspx :shock:

Jtech - I'm also in Atlantic County, NJ Sounds like you're looking at the builder who did my pool ===> S-Mor. I had a fairly good experience, that's not yet over. Plumbing/plumbers were by far the worse part..... Let me know if you would like to discuss...

I see them on eBay for under $20, also a few vendors sell in the low $20s http://www.aquasuperstore.com/detail.as ... =327058793

Was looking at my filter last night opened the air release valve on top of the unit (while the pump was running) and to my suprise air was forced out for at least 10-15 seconds before any water was released. Did the same thing today and more air released. Is this normal? The pump had been...

:o

Bummer :cry: I helped a friend plug a few holes in his panels once - not sure of the brand. Anyway, we cut out a few of the smaller tubes and used self tapping hex head screws with rubber washers that came from the mfg. Do you know what brand you have? Seems all mfg's have instructions...

Hello from a former PA resident Love to see that crystal clear water :goodjob:

Off to pickup bleach and muratic acid.... Pool contractor told me to stop by their store with a water sample today or tomorrow. May just do it to hear their 'advice' :blah: They have some sort of electronic tester that uses pre-measured vials that seems to interpret the color changes...

Pool phase of the project is done. :-D Excavation started 5/18, plaster on 6/17 and topped of the water and start up chemicals 6/19. So happy with decision to purchase TF100 - fast shipping, accurate, easy to use! :whoot: FC - 1.5 CC - 0 pH - 7.9 TA - 70 CH - 150 CYA - 30 Temp 74 Not...

Busy week.... Saturday May 30th - gunite was shot Monday June 1st - plumbing (crew hit my wellhead with bobcat) Thursday June 4th - coping, tile, stone (wrong color accent tile on steps) Monday June 8th - electrical Then decking, fencing, plaster & h20

Was installed by the steel crew in preparation for the 1st plumbing inspection, which was last Wednesday. Actual Plumber not coming onsite till after the gunite, which is tentatively scheduled for this Saturday. Anyway, I sent to S - M and they said they'd handle. Just one of those...

Photo of 2" flex pipe connecting to tee at bottom drains. Does anyone else think this may be a problem? Just thinking that this is the worst place to have a leak later on. Either it is joined at an angle or excessive glue has caused the flex pipe to weaken. Thx

Was at Sams Club today - $8.12 for (3) 182oz jugs of 6% Chlorox = $1.90 a gallon

Cobra46, Thank you for the effort in showing me the effects multiple lights - you're pool looks fantastic. :-D I'm going to stand in/out of the pool and think about sight lines & shadows. Meeting with the builder Tuesday about a SWG, 2 speed pump & lighting. Was at a friends house...

Wish I would have found this site sooner! Let's see, 1) ditch the Frog - seems I should still add some sort of auto-chlorinator for using tr-chlor pucks when out of town. Suggestions? Maybe a SWG? 2) upgrade the pump to at least a 2-speed or better yet a variable, although seems my...

Pump is not 2 speed - I've not found any good info on why these are better - so any advice is appreciated. Amperage ratings between the high/low speeds seem insiginificant. Pool is white plaster, again there is an option for 3M Colorquartz, but I only looked at one pool that used it and it...
