Hey all! I have a Bermuda fibreglass pool by Viking Pools (this one). It has curvy stairs and benches, and has a thin safety ledge most of the way around. Anyone else have such features and has a robot that works really well in such a pool( Eg able to clean the curves stairs, the ledge...

Nudge? Anyone else with thoughts? Thanks!

Hey all! We are getting a 12x26 ‘Bermuda’ Viking fiberglass pool installed. The pool builder suggested getting 4 ‘Hayward Therapy Jets’ installed. I am considering installing them like this: Questions I have though: Does anyone have experience or thoughts on these or other Therapy Jets in a...

Hey all! I'm facing a conundrum as to where to locate the equipment (gas heater, salt generator, pump, cartridge filter, etc) in my backyard. Our yard is very small and has an existing deck (that we are not going to remove). This leaves us with only 2 possible locations for the equipment...

Wow. Ya bonding can be optional up here in Canada. In my case we are installing a fiberglass pool with no stair, metals, etc; so there is no requirement to bond my particular pool setup. I'm getting the electrician to bond it anyways. I was wondering, if i test with a voltmeter(?) after...

Hey Jim, Yes! We will have lights, but apparently the lights we are going with (Treo LED Pool Light - Official S.R. Smith Products) is in a plastic housing and therefore does not requisite bonding). This whole ‘bonding’ uncertainty is the only thing holding me back from signing a contract and...

Thanks all for the feedback. Is bonding something that is 'testable'? I'm quite comfortable with the PB and electrician, but bonding fiberglass pools isnt something they do. They will do it, but given that they don't have experience doing so, I was wondering if it is something that the...

Hey all, I've been inching towards having a fiberglass pool installed in Southern Ontario. I've found one PB who I like and who has good references. He didn't feel that the pool would need to be bonded as there are no rails/metal parts/etc. But he also said bonding is more of an electrician...

Hey guys, Can you advise of a non-'lite' model version I should request of my PB in replacement of the PSL4 that he has quoted? TIA!

Woah - you're right. I asked the PB to make sure it wasnt a lite version and said it wasnt. Then provided the part number, and... there it is. Thank you for catching that:) Are you saying i shouldnt use that big of a VS pump and use it at lower speeds? The intention would be to get larger...

Hey guys, Thanks again for the above feedback. I'm still working with a couple pool builders hoping to find the 'right' one. So here is the latest equipment slated for the build (Pool size: 12x24 fiberglass, ~7,000 gallons) Pump: Pentair VS 3.00HP Intelliflo (the purpose of getting a more...

Hey all, I asked the PB questions that came for your guys questions/feedback. He responded with: The salt generator would be an IC20 The size of the filter would be an SD60 I am not sure why or what you would bond to as bonding of a pool is done to steel and would be done by the electrician...
