    Round Two Build! Back for more!

    One thing I wish I had done was have another deeper ledge or 2 on the swim outs on the deep end kind of like a stair case. I only have one in one corner, I would have had one in each if I was smarter.

    White flakes in pool

    I have a high calcium level, approx 500 ppm, and have this same problem. I try to keep the ph at about 7.2 but still get a bunch of white flakes. I assume the calcium is the problem, the cleaner picks most up, but I would like them to not exist.

    Owner Build W/ Rock Blasting - Loomis, CA - Equipment List HELP

    I had a water issue and the plaster company wouldn't do it until the seepage was nearly gone. We also drilled holes in the side of the shell to help the water drain, I put in an additional french drain above the pool to help, finally they were satisfied and it was plastered about 2 months later...

    Natural Pools discussion

    Sorry to hijack but you don't see this mentioned too often. We have backpacked from tuolumne to the valley via halfdome twice and that cascade is incredible, the smooth granite is almost like a pool, and the current a giant swim jet, cold though. Last I was there was 1999. You must have been...

    Solar Valve Issue

    Thats nice, I don't think pentair has that so my pool must be running in order for the solar to work.

    What's your current pool temp?

    72 deg this am, just like I thought it would be. If I'm lucky, with good weather predicted, I may see 76 by this weekend.
