Not sure on the location but I would have tried to make that more water tight than what they did.

In theory you want it near your network wireless router and away form your pump motor and motor control. The electrician may have been thinking its like a Jandy aqualink pda so close to the pool area is better. That is not difficult to move.
Decking was poured two days ago. Sprinkler system repair and yard clean up was yesterday. Sod and fence re-install coming in Monday. Pre-plaster inspection Tuesday and plaster Wednesday-Friday. Should have water by next week around this time - knock on wood.
Well. It's been a while since I've posted. I've been finishing up the pool. The pool and spa came out great. But we, like everyone it seems, have some issues. One issue is white streaks caused by heavy rain after plastering but before (and during) acid washing. The second one is a leak. Losing 1" a day. Pool builder has been great. Pro leak finders say the leak is in skimmer line but it seems the leak has continued even after skimmer line was capped. Any suggestions?
Is the water loss the only basis of your assumption? Can you see any bubbles in the pump basket? Do the bucket test to see if you really have a leak. You would be surprised how much water can be lost to wind and evaporation.
Leak guys said skimmer pressure wouldn't hold and they heard gurgling sounds in skimmer line. We're having some low water pressure issues as well and pump basket won't stay full, bubbler pressure is low and spillway flow is small. PB is coming tomorrow to try to figure out. But he said an inch a week is normal due to evaporation. Hadn't thought of winds.
I don't know how some of these plumbers stay in business. Don't they know that if their brand new plumbing leaks under the deck, they will be the ones to have to foot the bill for it?
Well. Here's the finished product. We still need to do some landscaping, put up a pergola and fix a few pool issues. But we love our new oasis. We've been enjoying spa until summer gets here.
Thanks. We had a dickens of a time picking our plaster color. Finally went with Quartzbrite Midnight Blue. Full sun is my favorite look.
Great looking pool. I live in North Dallas as well with similar lot size. Can you tell me who your pool builder was and the actually time line quoted vs what was delivered. Wondering if the bids I received for 30 days installation is really doable or not. Thanks
Hi, Your pool looks very nice, I am wondering whether I should have gone for a in ground pool instead of AGP. Wish you good luck.
Mine took 8 weeks in the middle of summer, so I imagine 4 weeks isn't too farfetched in the dead of winter... but of course that is assuming no issues in between which is somewhat rare around here.
Definitely doable. But probably not unless you start after the holidays. The PBs tend to take some time off and a lot of the subs try to visit family in the "deep south", if you know what I mean. ;-)
Sure,
I actually went with a pool builder from Rockwall - Hopkins Custom Pools. They quoted 4-6 weeks and it took about 5 1/2. We only missed about 4 or 5 workdays due to weather and they didn't work on any weekends that I recall. 30 days seems reasonable this time of year but only if you don't have any hiccups or bad weather. Oct/Nov are the wettest months of the year.
