The deck has no contact with the pool other then the staircase going into the pool. We opted for the grand staircase which I think I have heard refered to as the wedding cake stairs... The stairs have a plastic piece that extends from the rails which screws into the deck for stability..

Ok.. I wasn't sure where the best spot for this post would be so I picked this thread.. I have an 18x33 semi inground pool. The pook equipment (heater, filter, pump, extra outlets, swg, etc) is located on a pad approximately 12ft away from the pool edge.. When the pool was installed the...

So we are building a new home and things have been going so slow.. We had the pool installed before the winter season so that we could fit all the trucks in the yard.. Anyway.. Spring was coming so we had the pool company set everything up and the only thing left to do was the electric hook up...

So we decided to bite the bullet and get the pool installed before winter.. We were going to wait but we decided to just have it done so that next season we can just install heater and filter and be in the pool.. Also a big part was that the house is still under construction and once done we...

So we were discussing the pool installation with the builder that is putting up our home.. We are having a pool company come in to do the actual pool install but are using the plumber and electrician from our builder for all the runs between house and filter/heater. Anyway, we were discussing...

Thanks for all the input... MikeTinnelle: The ordinance in our area is that the yard has to be closed in by a 6ft fence and have a latching/locking gate.. As long as that is done (which we already planned on doing) then we do not need any gate around the pool itself.. Fitness4Life: Any more...

Just wanted to get some input.. We are talking with a few deck guys and pricing things out but figured I would get some outside opinions.. We are on the fence about what type of deck to do around the pool.. We always figured we would do a full wrap around but are now starting to think that it...

f3justusc - Thanks for the input.. I was unaware that it did not have a "memory" setting.. That is actually a bit disappointing.. I was under impression that once the color choice is picked it would then light up to that color each time.. Perhaps then I will look into the other lights that have...

I just wanted to post a two part question regarding the SmartPool Nitelighter pool light series.. 1) For those with first hand experience, would you prefer the 100w version or the Multi Color version.. (Pool will be a semi inground 18x33) 2) Regarding both units, what type of switch is used...

Appreciate the input from everyone.. Just thought I would add that the builder tried to say that "no one is taking dirt so the price to get rid of it went up".. I decided to talk to the pool installer and inquire if he could price out what it would cost to get an excavator to come in and do the...

Thanks for all the input.. I am definitely going to shop around.. The builder just got back to me with the cost breakdown, but first let me just say this.. The pool installer does have electricians/plumbers/excavators/etc that he uses and I am having him quote out using his guys.. However, with...

Thanks for the reply.. i thought about piecing it all out on my own but I am lost with all of this stuff and I am not very hands on with this type of stuff so I am left to leaving it to others.. I might just have to shop around with electricians and plumbers, unless the big part is the...

Not sure if this is the best place to put this, but I am looking to get some help.. I am in process of having a house built in NJ in the area just outside NYC.. While building we decided to do a pool... We went to the dealer and had them put a package together for a 18x33 pool with all the...
