    Sheer Descent continues to clog….

    We installed an in ground, saltwater pool two years ago. The pool includes an attached hot tub spa. The spa has two spillovers into the pool. We also have an accent wall that includes two 24” sheer descents. On our lounge ledge we have two bubblers. Once the pool was complete, we figured...

    1.65HP VSP not enough for water features

    I have 2 bubblers and 3 18” arc waterfalls running off a dedicated 1.65 pump. Shelf with the bubblers is 14” deep. Seems like there is not enough water pressure. Do you think I need a dedicated pump for the bubblers? The bubblers were plumed on a 2” loop and the waterfalls are on separate 1.5”...

    Variable pump programming

    We are at the end of the pool building process, the pool is fully functioning except for the auto-filler and heater (can’t use until plaster cures.)

    Requesting expert feedback on return lines, skimmer placement, and sheer descent GPM flow - owner/builder

    Hi TFP community: I am a rookie to this site and pool building in general. I told my wife for 10 years we’d get a pool and was able to delay it until now. My kids are now 8 and 10, and now it seems I am out-voted 3-1 in my household; The family wants a pool for the hot Phoenix summers; I can't...

    Retaining wall / sheer descent placement questions

    Hi TFP, Brand new member here and plan to be a long time reader. We have a new fiberglass pool construction being planned for the winter. Our yard is sloped, and we are planning to replace these unused flower beds and (leaky old) garden fountain with the 12x27 San Juan "Biloxi" flat bottom...
