I am doing a liner replacement on my pool. The builder built the bottom with concrete. It’s in great shape but I believe the previous liner had premature failure due to the roughness of the concrete surface. Are there any thoughts on how I can resolve this and give my new liner a better surface...

DIY build here, I am done with my plumbing and pressure testing now. All of my return fittings and my Hayward skimmer have a threaded port for attaching. None of these are solvent. Would anyone care to share why this is? As I suspected, many of these are dripping under pressure. It is tough to...

Hi everyone. I am running my plumbing on my diy build. Vinyl liner metal wall pool. I am backfilling completely with clean 57 gravel, except for I was planning to use paver base beneath and a few inches above the pipes to protect them from the sharp edges of the 57. From that top layer of paver...

@jimmythegreek I’m now laying pipe and almost ready to backfill! I’ve raised my overdig up using 57 then put some paver base on top of that. I’m running my plumbing on this base and was planning to cover the pipes completely with the paver base. From there I was going to finish out the backfill...

@klanel yes I have been doing myself with help from friends and family. I have a backhoe but had a guy with an excavator come help me a day. Had landscape company pick up dirt for free, I loaded. Lots of preparation and some specialty tools required but if you do your research it’s work. These...

@Sean ATX here is what I came up with, seams to be working out well.

@jimmythegreek is there a structural concern if the panels do not get fully supported across the length? Thanks again.

Hi everyone. I am getting ready to pour my concrete collar and I am wondering about something. Because I set my wall panels on paver stones, and also being that the clay likes to come off in chunks, this has left some gaps underneath my panels. Some places are minor other 2-4 inches. Should I be...

Thanks @jimmythegreek. My concrete place informed me they have a 50 ft conveyer that extends off the truck to place the concrete. Sounds promising to me. The issue I am working at the moment is filling/covering the gaps that we created when I set the panels up using patio pavers. Between that...
