My friends pump died today. Single speed 2.5 hp jandy pn 7-19388-20. I reccomended replacing with a 2 speed motor. For those who have done this - where did you purchase and how did you ensure your motor was compatible with the pump? Also - in the mean time the plan should be to keep fc...

Just curious to see what everyone is paying for gunite. Price I got today was $181 per cubic yard here in Keller TX. Last years was at $161 I believe. Do they tend to come down in the fall/winter?

First pool. Obviously a fan of the straight lines. I like and have planned thus far on purchasing a Dolphin Z5. My concern is the angles of the pool. Would this cleaner be able to navigate and thoroughly clean the pool in these corners? Should I look for another cleaner? Should I re-design...

Perhaps you have thought about this before and there is good reason for it, but I thought it would be great if there was a DIY pool build section.

Any experience with these type of "consultants"? I like the concept. I work a very flexible schedule and being a control freak the idea of a bit more control sounds intriguing to me. From what I understand - you pay a consultant fee around 4K and they work with you every step of the way to...
