    Pool heat pump - annual service needed? Unit leaked pool water and now rusted out

    Hi all, I have an Evo-heat heat pump located in Australia. I have had it just on three years and now the unit has totally failed. It's a expensive 27kW 3 phase unit. The techs said the unit failed because; 1 - the coupling to the water pipes was not properly installed so pool water ended up...

    Will adding touch of glass or abalone shell degrade my surface over time?

    I've heard from a few installers that when you add touch of glass or abalone shell the glass and shell will pop out over time? Also I've heard it can void or reduce your warranty the more glass/shell you add. I'm talking about stonescapes products to be exact, has anyone run across this?

    Implications of installing gas heater myself?

    My gas pool heater is beyond busted and needs replaced. I've reached out to pool services in my area and nobody is returning my call so far. Business must be booming I guess. I'm interested in the viability of replacing the heater myself. My colleague and I (both engineers and hands-on...

    Pool Builder demands more $ then quits (Katy, TX)

    Hello, I wanted to start by thanking everyone on this site! The information has been invaluable. I only wish I had found it before we started this process. Backstory: the back of the pool had to be jackhammered out because the plumbing was low and then gunnited over. Then the tile guys came...

    Above Ground Pool Bonding

    Hi Everyone, I was having a conversation with an associate of mine who is an electrician and the topic was bonding an above-ground pool. The common way I'm used to seeing done is to use a bonding plate that is installed in the skimmer. It involved drilling a 3/16" hole on the side and inserting...
