Wow that's a great find! Thanks for that link! Definitely gives the low down!

We used Raley's Pools, and yes we would use them again. I'll get some more pictures up of the final product.

Thanks Tim, that is the site where I found the above diagram for the M5. Unfortunately, they didn't have anything listed for the Z5. They did seem to have the most extensive list that I've run across so far though. They may have something for the Z5 but just haven't put it on their website yet.

Yeah unfortunately, I've already downloaded that literature, which is basically the users manual that doesn't ship with the Robot. I did an internet search myself but was unable to find anything specific the the Oasis Z5 model. - - - Updated - - - Thanks pops, that is something new I hadn't...

Does anyone have a link to a valid parts diagram and parts list for the Dolphin Oasis Z5? I just purchased one and have an OCD habit of printing all the manuals and parts lists for things like this I purchase, and putting them in sheet protectors in 3 ring binders. This helps when I have issues...

I can vouch for Sunplay as well. I ordered a new pool light from them and I emailed them about it because I was getting concerned I hadn't heard anything from them about it shipping. Within two hours I had a detailed email reply from them, explaining the item was to be drop shipped from the...

We used to throw two big pool parties every year, one on Memorial Day weekend and one usually after Labor Day and dubbed it "End of Summer Party". Our home is not much bigger than yours, (2200 Sq ft) and I would typically invite most of our friends. We would have cars lined up and down the...

Now that is pretty cool looking! If I can get my wife to go for something like that... She's always got to be conservative...plain boring white lights.... So how waterproof are these? Have you tried them outside?

That is what I seemed to find. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something else. Makes me feel better about spending that chunk of change!

Ah yes my bad it is the Z5. I was a bit hung over this morning posting that.

That sounds high to me. We just remodeled our pool. We had Tennessee Flagstone installed for coping. Our pool had no coping to speak of previously. It was just poured concrete that was part of the whole back patio area. They had to saw the edge of our deck off and. Install the new Flagstone...

Sounds good. I'll go with what I have for now.

Yes new fill. You think I have plenty? This my first time doing the TF method so I have no experience to base my usage off.

Thanks for the tips. I can see using much more than I figured. I bought 24 gallons of the 10% to start off. May go back and grab some of the 5.25%

I realize that there are several factors that play in here, but I'm wondering about how much bleach liquid chlorine I can expect to use over the course of the summer season? Let's assume my ph, alk, cy, etc are all acceptable levels, and I don't end up getting any algae outbreaks. I'm curious as...

Been following this. PB is fast! Love some of the things you incorporated into the pool! Going to be very nice!!!

I ordered one of the Colorsplash Swimquip replacement fixtures yesterday. Once it arrives, I take some photos and give my impression of it vs the old light.

I just make photobucket account and uploaded my pictures there. You can then direct link them to your posts.

My neighbor across the street , who has since sold the house, said every spring he would drain his pool and paint it with basement paint. I personally thought that was a bad idea and can't imagine how many layers of paint are on there if it were to ever need to be removed and replastered. Asked...

Yes that is what they did. They just plastered over the old. In the pictures you can see they went around whole pool and tested the old plaster for bad spots with an electric chisel. All the little holes/marks. They also chiseled out and area around all the eyeballs,drain and light. Then acid...

So nobody have any experience with these fixtures? Hmm... I may end up being a guinea pig on this... about to pull the trigger on buying one...

Good luck with this! From observing my remodel I would think that you should be able to handle most of the reno yourself, especially if you are a contractor. Only thing, you might consider having done, I would think, would be the replaster. My PB stressed to me that that was the one thing he...

justawildchild, pooldv is correct, We have gray plaster. It does look like epoxy in those pictures which were taken right after the plaster was finished. The plaster has since lightened or marbled out in areas, which is what the "Lagoon" finish is. We are really pleased with the look of it after...

Thanks for your persistence Thadius65! Will go grab it!

I'm currently looking for a replacement for my Swimquip fixture as well. I was just doing an internet search for these exact lights. Thing is, I find lots of versions but not many advertising the exact model I'm looking for which is the Colorsplash XG LPL-F2C-12-30-PSQ. The PSQ at the end being...

Here's a couple of shots of fountains on. PB came by and turned them on gave some tips on operating them with pump etc. Did a back flush and added some acid to pool.

That is what I'm afraid of, that I have a leak. The skimmers aren't functioning properly at the moment anyway, because they still haven't put a new skimmer door on yet.... But yes I'm going to keep monitoring it and if it keeps lowering then there is obviously a problem..... grrrrrr..... Edit...

Re: New build in South Jersey - Pictures included Check here, I asked about same as well. Some people had some suggestions. http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/90780-Suggestions-on-garden-rock-speakers

So is it normal for new plaster to absorb some of the water from the pool? They plastered Tuesday, and started adding water Tuesday evening. By Wed afternoon when I got home from work, the pool water was right under bottom of coping overhang. Basically touching it. They got the pump running on...
