    Help identifying device

    Arneson! That's old school. It was standard issue when I started doing pool service in the 70's. It was also standard to screw down the tile sprayer on the top of the cleaner to cut down the calcium buildup caused by it. Any of you remember the Ray O Vac?

    Haven't seen this kind of pool in a long time. It is a vinyl liner pool Before you look at liners, have a pool pro look at the equipment and definitely pressure test the plumbing.

    Can you re-gunnite a pool without disturbing the surrounding concrete deck?

    No. You can't remove the gunite. You might as well plan on building a new pool.

    The latest issue with the nightmare build in AZ, pool lights

    This is really ridiculous. I've been involved in dozens of new pool builds and I've never seen this issue before. The light can is supposed to be tightly connected to the rebar grid and having the conduit also makes it secure. Have these construction guys ever heard of a tool called a level?
