Forgive me if you mentioned this in an earlier post, but do you know the history of when the pool was built and by whom? Trying to contact them to see what materials they were using at the time could be a quick and easy way to determine your base material. Both materials are applied in pretty...

What's your bottom material, vermiculite or crete? As this is a liner pool, you don't really have a risk of "pop-out", as it's not a watertight structure until your liner goes in, and groundwater will find it's way into an empty linerless pool if it wants to. Your risk in leaving this empty...

A couple thoughts: 1. There are additional key measurements needed for the liner manufacturers, even for a simple shape as a rectangle. I'll see if I have a form I can scan and send to you in a PM. 2. Yes on mil/gauge. Also check to make sure it's virgin vinyl rather than re-grind material...

I wish r/pools was more active :( it's mostly advertisements these days

Can you clarify what you mean by "trench"? I believe you're referring to the deep end / hopper? From the pool walls you would have a slight slope down to your finished depth: While the walls are incredibly strong, I can't really advise against sitting on them. They'll hold your...

Afternoon All! Radiant does have a deep end option in our Metric Series, depth dependent on slope codes (i.e. on the smaller diameter pools we will not be able to go as deep as the larger pools, as the main slope needs to fall within a 3:1 ratio). We keep flat-bottom stock liners in...

Hi mapromonyc! I believe Kelly has been in contact with you via FB, however if you want to PM me a picture of your skimmer I'll be able to confirm. Everything that I've been able to look up shows that you should have an IG rated Hayward skim unit and should be good to go!

Hi ataylor1215! Not sure if I can offer any advice on California pricing or DIY install savings as I'm across the country from you, however let me know if you have any questions on the install itself! Feel free to send me a PM with specific questions if you'd like, and I can answer...

Hi all!! Sorry for the delay in response, it's certainly that time of the year!! Between being offsite for various installer training sessions and day-to-day entries, I haven't had the chance to log on here in a bit. Chasmengr, glad you got your straight wall bracing kit installed, your entire...

Welcome Home, Coheed and Cambria

PM sent, looking forward to pics!

Afternoon Gents, The walk-in thermoplastic steps don't require any additional winterizing procedures, you'll just lower the water level approximately 12" from standard level (or approximately below the return fitting). In terms of covers, if you go with the aboveground coping (either 2" or...

Looking like a great start, and a beautiful property! Post lots of pics and shoot me a PM if you have any questions or need clarification on anything!

Virginia Graeme Baker act (or something similar) calls for dual main drains 3' apart or one long bottom drain over a certain square footage, due to the risk of entrapment / evisceration with smaller single main drains. If you do some research on this site though, you'll notice that many are in...
