Thank you so much for the reply. I think my line is right at the cement as well. I appreciate you taking the time to help me!

@Kingmiwok, how did you wind up fixing this? I have a leak right underneath the autofill device at the 90 degree PVC. Pool builders are saying I have to jackhammer up my decking to fix it. I’d prefer not to obviously. Thanks in advance.

Yes, I screwed up... :) Thank you for the reply. I'll do this until the cell fails.

Thank you so much for the reply. Sounds great. I'll do this until the cell fails.

Hey I’m curious if it’s cheaper to upgrade to the larger salt cell (IC40) than to run my pump on an IC20 for 18 hrs a day in Texas. It’s not making the proper amount of chlorine. I assume I can sell my 1 year old undersized salt cell online to recoup some money.

Okay. Thanks.

I’m doing cantilever and not precast. I was curious about others experiences with cantilever. Do you have any experience with it? SWG has ruined my leuders coping. No doubt about it, despite claims on this site that salt is fine, it is rough on stone in Texas due to freeze thaw. So I’m...

Thank you for the reply. Maybe I keep the expansion joint, color it the same as the decking, and spray deck the new coping to "kind of" achieve what I'm looking for. I was going to use the existing decking joints and extend those into the coping for a more seamless look.

I'm looking at pour in place concrete cantilever coping to hopefully hold up longer over time than natural stone (lueder limestone) did with my SWG. I'd prefer no joint between the decking and coping and no joints in the coping, to give the appearance of a single deck that extends into the...

Wow you lucked out. Have you contacted Just Great Pools to get their opinion on the SWG?

Hey we live pretty close to each other! Who built your pool and what stone quarry did they use? Sounds like your leuders is better quality than mine. About 6 months after the build my leuders began to spall. It was not sealed until after I noticed the spalling. Sealing did not help it. I...

Hi @JamesW every quarry I speak to suggests travertine (even if they don’t sell travertine). But I found this blue lueders limestone, which is what I have now so would be easier to replace just affected stones. Did I send you this yet? Looks like it meets many of the qualifications of a...

Works great. No rust. The screen I used is meant for hoses. If I don’t remove the hose screen before I remove the skimmer basket, the screen gets sucked into the pool filter. Not a huge deal as when I clean the pool filter, I get back all the missing hose screens. Anyway, when cleaning...

Hey thanks for the reply. I actually found a workaround as well if you want to try it. I just inserted a mesh hose washer in the hole. Here is a link to it: Danco, Inc. 80070 Hose Washers with Screen, Black Amazon.com

Will do buddy. Thanks again. Would prefer a local company to be honest so still looking. NPT has been slow to get this data from.
