    Switch so sheer decents cannot turn on while cover is closed

    Switch so sheer decents cannot turn on while cover is closed

    I am asking my pool builder to add a failsafe switch so that my 3 sheer decent waterfalls cannot turn on while my cover is closed, however he doesn't see the need for this, and isn't being very helpful in finding out how it would work. My equipment is all pentair, and my cover is from...

    Design oversight - wall over vault for automatic cover

    Thanks! It was too late to move back the wall, so now I have to find a way to work around the cover. Anyone have a brilliant idea one how to build a moveable pillar (even if it takes two guys to move it) that could sit on top of the coping over the vault, or alternatively an access "hatch"...

    Design oversight - wall over vault for automatic cover

    Rebar is in, and my pool is ready for gunite! They have been fast so far, and it looks like we could be filling up our pool in six weeks! That said, we just hit a major (in my view) design oversight. There is a wall along teh length of my pool, and the contract with the builder included a 42"...

    Decking demo (fiberglass pool)

    Some paver companies have thin pavers for remodeling, you could put that on existing concrete, then add regular pavers around that to extend? How much space do you need to make up?

    Travertine Paver deck & coping - need to make a decision ASAP! :S

    Interesting. I actually love the look of the lighter coping, and was thinking about ordering a different colored coping to get that look.

    More last minute thoughts! Upgrading Jets - Waterways Poly storm or TwirlyByrd?

    Thanks everyone! SailNSurf, do you have the thread in Waterways, or the older snap in ones? They aren't as easy to change out as the Twirlybyrd, but they are also have more options.

    I have the layout figured out for 6, but I'm concerned about having enough pressure for them all. I'm planning on using them to treat my sore back! :S I love fiberglass hot tubs and I'm trying to get the same benefits here.

    Great. Thanks Jason. Do you think I should keep it at 6, or up it to 7? - - - Updated - - - Oh, I should say my PB does not commonly use these and is trying to convince me to get only 5!
