    Niche is covered by the liner, no light fixture, please help

    Chances are it was leaking and they just covered it up. I have an old light that the PO epoxied into place to stop a leak and the installers just went over the top of it instead of trying to dig it out and cost me more money... I don't notice it anymore

    What Type of Heat.....NOT AN EASY ANSWER

    What Type of Heat.....NOT AN EASY ANSWER

    The price of my electric has me leaning towards a pump. At .0395 KWH my daily cost will be less than 2 bucks once I get it to temp. I also want to be able to swim all the time so I would need to leave it on all the time.. anyone ever do that with gas?

    What Type of Heat.....NOT AN EASY ANSWER

    Yeah it is 30k don't know why I said 40k. My wife and I are both PE teachers and with a 10 month old I plan on using the pool almost every day. I'm thinking the heat pump is the way to go. Any advice on the AquaPro.... it's from pool heat pumps.com Refurbished Pool Heat Pumps | Poolheatpumps.com
