Hi all! I haven't posted in awhile so I figured I would post something I figured out. I had to pull the info from a bunch of different places and had to piece together the info so I figured having it all in one place might help. Backstory: I wanted an autofill when my pool was built. But...

I have one of those new rectangular main drains that prevents drowning and I noticed tonight there is quite a bit of junk in it. Probably not that bad because I know stuff ends up in my filter basket but I need a easy way to suck the stuff out of it. Is there a vacuum attachment that I could...

I just got my new pool last winter and now I think I need to SLAM it. I have an SWG and have been using it to keep the pool up to about 5PPM as my target. I noticed lately that I have been having to turn up my SWG to keep the chlorine level up. Well lately I have my SWG set to 95% and the...

I have a Jandy PDA-P8 system to control my pool. There are a few things I would like to do but cannot figure out. I am not sure if this is just not possible or the way my PB has it setup. 1. I would like to be able to turn on/off things from my panel at the pool equipment. For example I...

So my builder came by about 6 weeks after startup and added salt to my pool. I have a Jandy SWG that is rated for a 40k gallon pool. I tested my salt using my TFP salt testing kit and it came back at 4600. The SWG is reporting 4.6. The recommended range is between 3.2 and 3.4 I think in the...

I am new to the pool game and have had my pool finished for just over a month. I am really in need of some way to really light up my yard. My house has a 14' tall slab foundation so the small porch light already present under my patio 14" in the air really doesn't illuminate my pool area at...

On PebbleTec's website they have added something I just noticed. There is now something called Bead Crete Luminous. It is basically different color groups of glass beads you can add to your pebble tec or pebble sheen selection to add some glass. I know people add the shells to the pool but I...

Ok so my pool builder wants to hook up my fill line to the hose bib on the back of my house. The problem is it is over my raised deck about 12 feet above ground level. His idea is to add a splitter, drill though the deck run the pipe into the ground down my 12 foot tall slab. This in my eyes...

Ok so here is my design. (It will be pushed out about 2 feet because this plan was done too close to the house by mistake). Where would you put the pool lights? It probably isn't that big of a deal because the house is way higher than the pool so you would be looking down about 12' to it on...

Ok so I have signed my contract and in my contract I have a 3/4" fill line included. We haven't even dug the hole yet. After reading posts I think I want an auto fill. The problem is my builder is quoting some insanely large number (>$1200) and I looked at some of my other bids that had it as...

So here I am about 2 days from signing a contract. A little back story. My wife grew up in her large family having a pool. I have had no experience with pools or even owning one except for when my wife and I were dating and we would swim in her parent's pool. Now fast forward 15 years of...
