Just received my first estimate, $50k. Apparently my mechanical room is too small for the Desert Aire system they said I needed so they'd need to build an outbuilding for the equipment and run duct work to my pool room. They're working on a proposal for installing multiple in-wall...

I used bleach for my last pool with great success. I'll give the SWG a try since it's already in place. Does anyone have any recommendation on heating/dehumidification systems? Had a HVAC company that works with indoor pools come by yesterday. He's going to supply a quote (in a couple weeks...

Dave - I'm not sure why the original owner went with a SWG. Do you have any other recommendations for an indoor pool? Allen - The pool room has it's own HVAC ducting. The pool will be two degrees cooler than the air. More than likely I'll run the pool at 80F and the air will be set to 82F.

Hi Maddie! I hope someone on here has some experience with this, I'm a little lost on next steps! The area you're referencing is actually a greenhouse, but yes, it needed some ventilation as well. Since we ventilated the greenhouse it has cleared up and is growing some vegetables!

Hi everyone! I'm looking for some advice on humidity control for my recently acquired indoor pool. Some background: the pool is currently drained, has four skylights and three ceiling fans. The pool was built in 1990 and the previous owners of my home just used a furnace for climate control...

Hi ctrav, the pool was built in 1990 and from what I can tell the equipment is of a similar age. I've pressure tested the lines since the home was vacant for five years and found everything to be pretty good. I'll give it a good scrubbing this weekend and see what it looks like.

I was reading through some previous threads and noticed that it was pretty unanimous... TFP is against painting pools. Everyone seems to be in agreement that re-plastering is the best approach. My pool is already painted, what would the advantage be of just re-plastering? Would you then paint...

I dug up around where I thought I potentially nicked the line. The line was in perfect shape, no nicks, burns, or damage. I then checked all of my connections, first from my panel to my safety switch, in the safety switch, then from safety switch to pump. As John recommended, I switched over to...

I reached through the strainer basket area and spun the impeller and it wasn't dragging, in my opinion. I'll check the amp draw of the motor next, that makes sense. I'm starting to wonder if I nicked the wire when I replaced some of the plumbing when I opened this year. I had to dig around...

Original Blown Fuse New Blown Fuse The pictures should work now. I'm not sure of the gauge of the wire. The pump is the only device on the circuit. The run is probably between 75' and 100'. I'll check the connections again. I checked them at the box outside before I put the fuse back in...

Original Blown Fuse - NON 20 amp 250V New Blown Fuse - NON 20 amp 250V I seem to have an issue with blowing fuses. I have a GFCI breaker on my main box at my house which leads out to the box seen in the pictures above. I replaced my pump this year. It's a 1HP Super Pump running on 120V. The...

I'm contemplating the same thing knkp. I have the larger wedding cake steps for my in ground pool. Could someone who's done it post a link to item they bought from Home Depot so I know I'm getting the right thing? Also, I bought my steps on Craigslist and the guy said he had to put bricks in...

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/91iT7XXYyBS.pdf That is the instruction manual for my pump. It says not to purge the system with compressed air. As far as bearings, I'd Google your pumps manual. Mine uses the water as coolant and lubricant for the motor shaft. Use silicone lube for...
