i have attached some pics - doesn't look horrible for 27 years old - they did a good job with the plaster even though some staining from leaves or late openings over the years - it will lighten up a bit as the chlorine bleaches them out
the cement decking looks extra dirty cause we just opened on 3 days ago and due to constant rain havent had a chance to power washed the decking yet
also they poured concrete right up against the foundation without using a waterproof membrane so that caused water to sit against the house and then rotting of the facia boards and rotting of the floor joists after 10 years (discovered during basement french drain work) so had to have a crew jackhammer out 8 feet of the concrete replace the facia boards and repair joists then put in a membrane and replace the concrete with grey Trex.
also you see the ineffective white drainage line that is cracking and just sits on top of subdecking material and doesn't really drain anything.
i am looking for ideas from a couple renovation companies that i will meet with this summer....since everything is linked and i hate the decking i will probably need to replace everything once i start...but any advice or feedback is welcome including what you think it will cost....of course if the price is too high it may not be worth the total renovation but i want to go down the path of getting solid estimates first.

I can't tell from the info how the water is actually delivered to the top. If it is a large enough orifice, like an open pipe, it probably doesn't need a filter.

Complete combustion is the complete oxidation of fuel.

When methane (CH4) mixed with the proper amount of oxygen (O2) undergoes complete combustion, it produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) vapor.

If the exhaust cools down too much, the water will begin to condense out and cause problems.

Single pump?


Depends on the kind of waterfall. A sheer descent requires a filter, an open pipe with a rock waterfall does not.

I'd be my current 2.7hp VS pump. HERE is what i want to do. A streamfall WF, in the video it looks like the waterfalls had their own pump based on the video.

Okay,

My Reagents came in and I was able to run a test panel prior to adding a gallon of LC this morning.

I have the "share" feature enabled but not sure exactly how that feature works, so I am posting the results here:

==========================================RoboPool------------------------------------------ Build Type: Plaster Volume: 25000 gallons Chemistry: Liquid Chlorine------------------------------------------ Latest Test Result Summary: FC: 2.0 (9 minutes ago) CC: 2.0 (9 minutes ago) pH: 7.8 (9 minutes ago) TA: 80 (9 minutes ago) CH: 100 (9 minutes ago) CYA: 20 (9 minutes ago) TEMPERATURE: 70° (9 minutes ago) CSI: -0.37 (9 minutes ago)==========================================------------------------------------------Test Results 05-15-2025 @ 02:22 PM------------------------------------------ Free Chlorine: 2.0 Combined Chlorine: 2.0 pH: 7.8 Total Alkalinity: 80 Calcium Hardness: 100 CYA: 20 Temperature: 70°F CSI: -0.37

For the CYA test, I did as the instructions stated however I could always see the black dot at the bottom of the tube and slowly added the entire contents of the red capped mixing squeeze bottle. . Around 1/3 to 1/2 way filled the dot became cloudy but was still visible all the way until it was filled to the top.

I think I am now ready for the Pro's here to tell me how I need to treat my water.

Water is nice and clear and I used a brushed vacuum head to vacuum the light algae that was forming around the upper 2-4' perimeter of the pool wall about 4-5 days ago.

Also any guidance on how many hours to run the Quad 80 D.E. filter per day? And also the Pool Sweep? I have separate timers for each.

Thank you!

So if I always run the heater with water above 60, I can leave the UG out?

The manufacturer says that the water needs to be >100 F to prevent condensation.

I would refer you to Raypak as far as operating without any standard parts.

Yepp, I did something a little different and a lot easier imo.

Bought two of these:

View attachment 646347

Used the Intex collars that came with the hose that comes with the Intex SWG. Sanded them 320 and then 2000 grit.

Then put it on the machine and used PVC coupling. Ez

I used the same process with success.
