We’ve got a new build that’s finally getting the plastering done next week. We’re going with Pebble Sheen. We’re building a 26k inground pool and our pool builder says it will be a two day process - pebble sheen applied the first day, then acid wash the second day (and then filled with water the...

Just wanted to circle back and say thanks for the guidance here. Very helpful and much appreciated.

I went through the manual (it’s a Pentair Colorvision Bubbler) and didn’t see anything either way about the plumbing or water supply…but, of course, what you say makes sense that a skimmer would be more likely to clog it. I’m a little frustrated with my pool builder on this one - I honestly...

We’re working a new build - 26k gallon in-ground gunite pool - and have a single LED bubbler being installed in our sun ledge. I think we’re going to put the bubbler on its own pump so it can be activated at the same time the spillover on the spa is running. We’d have a dedicated skimmer...

Hi - we're in the process of having a 26k gallon gunite in-ground pool built. The crew just completed the gunite yesterday afternoon. When I went out do do the first watering yesterday evening, I noticed two things that made me wonder if they needed to be addressed. Would appreciate any...

Thanks, this is helpful. One more piece of information...the price quoted for one bubbler (LED) is $4225. The second and third are $3245 each. Seems crazy, I know, but that's what he's quoting. If we go to non-LED bubblers, it will be $2600 for one, and $1100 each for the second and third.

Hi - could use any opinions on how many bubblers to put on our sun shelf. We're early in the build process for a new 26,000 gallon gunite pool. Our builder has suggested that two bubblers may be less desirable on our sun shelf, especially if we plan to leave two loungers in there at any point...

One more followup - my pool builder isn't giving me any guff about switching to Pentair equipment and the Intellicenter, which I'm pleasantly surprised by. But he does say that he strongly recommends the Jandy 400k BTU heater over the Pentair because they've found it to be less susceptible to...

Thanks, much appreciated. If I switch to Pentair for the SWG, would you suggest going to the 60k or staying with the 40k?

We're getting started on a new build that will be a 26,000 gallon, in ground, gunite pool. Our builder prefers Jandy equipment and, as part of that, has specified the Jandy PLC1400 (Aquapure 40,000 gallon SWG). I've seen the recommendation to select a SWG that is rated for double the size of...

We're getting going on a new build for a 26,000 gallon in ground gunite pool. Our builder has recommended all Jandy equipment. We'll be doing a VSP pump, SWG, spa bubbler, some LEDs, a natural gas heater, and provisioning for possibly adding a heat pump in the future. As part of this, of course...
