    In Desperate Search of Someone in Austin with NPT Stonescape MiniPebble so I can walk on it

    Just curious who you used for the replaster and if you’d recommend them? We are new pool owners in West Austin and need to resurface our pool this fall/winter. Also curious what finish you went with and if you’re pleased? Thanks!

    Spa draining till level with pool

    Hi there, Just bought a house with a pool. Had previous pool without many issues. This one will be more of a project. Anyways, I have noticed the elevated spa drains down till equal with pool overnight. I believe this is usually due to faulty check valve. I am attaching a photo of my setup...

    Sizing pump for pool

    Well there's part of my ignorance. I was thinking the blower would power the spa jets. But you're right, technically the same 2 hp Whisperflo would power those jets if I adjusted my 3 way Jandy valve (I leave spa closed unless we're using it). There are 6 jets in the spa coming from that 3 way...

    Sizing pump for pool

    I have a single speed WhisperFlo 2 hp pump for my pool. We bought our house about 2 years ago, so I don't know it's age. But it could very well be original (13 years) based on the condition.
