Finally got it going. I guess needed more time to fill up the filter and get some water pressure. I was just nervous I was going to burn out the pump. Thanks guys for the tips.

Opening up the pool for the first time since being built last year. The company closed the pool since they installed a safety cover. I took off all drain plugs and reattached the gauge on the filter as well as the drain cap. I filled the pump with water until the intake lines were filled. I...

Yes, brand new. I still owe them about $3200 so thats the only bright side I guess. Thats not the only problem either. You can see that the concrete is all over the coping and that it's chipped in spots on the edges. The used a subcontractor but waited until I said something to contact them...

First of all, awesome site! Received my TF kit and looking forward to running my pool the correct way from the start. Heres the problem: The coping that meets the steps on one side isnt flush, Its about 2" behind. The coping the other side is flush though. This leaves a gap between the wall...

Im looking to have an in ground pool built and am trying to see about reviews for any builders in my area. Ive looked online but most reviews are negative for most companies. But people are more likely to spend the time to post bad reviews instead of good ones. Thanks for the help.

If buying a used pool on craiglist: - CHECK YOU LOCAL LAWS REGARDING WHERE TO PLACE THE POOL. I was planing to just install everything without permits and later ran into an issues and found out where I was placing the pool wasnt allowed. I got so disgusted that Im not puting up the new...

Sorry for the delay, work is brutal right now. Good news! The pool store found something that worked! Basically they have a piece of bigger track that fits in the brace and a smaller track that slides into that. Perfect fit and same arc and length. Heres a picture of the skimmer if you...

Well I didnt find a dealer but I went back to the house to remeasure the pool and found out its actually a 28'. I was wondering why there was 2-3 more post than a normal 27'. Im taking to a local dealer tomorrow to see if they can find something that fits.

I had posted a few weeks ago about buying a pool on craiglist but later found out it didnt have all the parts. Well now I bought another one but the only problem is that the bottom rails were way to rusted to be used. Of course I didnt measure the length of the rail but the pool is 27' round...

Well I contacted the guy and he is going to take it back. He changed his story from he had it up 3 months last year to the person he bought it from had it for 3 months but didnt see it up. Lesson learned, if buying from Craigslist I will make sure I take it down.

Thanks linen, Ill do some more digging. Is there a website to research part numbers?

Well looks like its a Hayward pool. The skimmer it came with is from Hayward anyway. Some of the part numbers are 7774 and 7776. Ill call around to see what I can find out.

Oh, and no curved pieces. Just the wall, and the posts from what I could tell. Ill look at it tomorrow when I get home.

Heres the two pictures that I have at this point. I can get more tomorrow after work.

First wanted to thank everyone on this awesome site! I was on here last Year lurking when I had an intex pool. I just bought a 24' pool on Craigslist but just realized it doesn't have bottom rails. I asked the guy if it came with them and he said he wasn't sure. He apparently bought from...
