Hey guys, considering to build a pool at my mom's house in Florida. Not sure what the code is for how away from wall and sliding glass doors a pool can be? I see neighbors have pools very close to the wall and doors so not sure if grandfathered in etc? What is the allowable distance from pool...

Hey guys, when we tiled our waterline, the company drilled into my gunite to make anchors to hold up tiles while they cured. I was not there during the day and didnt see the process (sigh), I just see now all the small holes from drilling. Anyhow, maybe this is just the way its done for heavier...

Re: Sealing stacked stones and dying homemade diamond brite? Hi guys, can anyone help?

Hi everyone! Couple questions, can someone tell me what sealer to use that wont make a wet look on stacked stones but wont cause efforescence? Reason being when the stones are wet they really darken the stones and make mine look a bit orange. What happens if no sealer is used? I guess scale and...

I understand that you can do plaster underwater but can you also do diamond brite under water? He said he himself doesnt do coping or pool deck, but he told me pool companies are now offering coping over coping options when tiling or paving over existing pavers so all would be same level.

Hi everyone, we are doing remodel and our pool leak contractor is probably also doing our pool tiles. We just found a leak at the spa and are about to fix. This sort of spurred together a remodel project. Previous owner had plaster repairs done in pool and they took terrible. They are...

Hi everyone! No, unfortunately this house was bank owned and in shambles, barely discounted but we have been looking to buy a house for almost a year! LOL So any advice?

Hi there! Thank you! LOL The water level was right below the pool light always, but since the seller says he fixed the pool light niche, the water level is now above that area but below the returns, however he is filling it up constantly with a hose just staying at a steady small stream so I...

Hi Guys, Im closing on a house that had a pretty bad pool, was green and overlooked for a while. The water seemed to always be right below the level of the pool light. The seller got the pool blue again, but every time I see the pool, the spa and the pool are both low in water. The seller had...

Hi guys. This is a 9.5ft deep pool if that changes anything. Here is the exact model number of the pump I had before. No matter what, water trickled out of the spa overflow unless the pool returns were shut off completely. I cannot run water curtains unless all pool returns are off. Super II...

Hi, I will definitely get another pic and pic of the old super II pump. Are you sure Im reading charts wrong? You are probably right! Super II I thought has 130 gph and 75mm head Super I SP2615X20 I thought has 120gph and 90mm head Maybe I need a super II 2.5hP? I dont really want to splurge...

Hey! I appreciate this so much! Are you saying that based on the head? I dont know enough about this, but do Spa jets need more head? The comparison between super II and super I is this: Super II has 130 gph and 75mm head Super I has 120gph and 90mm head

Ok they said they will take it back for a credit, so now I dont know what to do. I need help. What pump should I replace with??????????? Super II 2 hp or Super II 2.5 hp. :( I dont know what if anything I can do with plumbing. I would liek to replace pump with something that can handle spa jets.

Thanks guys, Here is a pic of pool valves in pool/spill-over mode. Or so I thought,,,? Do I have the valves right? So what size filter is recommended? I can see from specs that the Super II has 130 gph and 75mm head Super I has 120gph and 90mm head. Looks like Super I might be better for me...
