    QUICK RESPONSE NEEDED - POWER OUT POOL NOT TOTALLY FILLED!!!!

    What a bummer! Glad it all worked out. I guess here in the southeast hurricane land it's a must to have a generator. It comes in handy for many reasons.

    New Build Plumbing Pressure Test

    Yes, I think so. The hose bibb is still in place at one of the skimmers and the returns are still all capped. The pump and filter have been set but can't I just turn the valves to closed and repressurize the lines and see what happens? This is my first pool so I have no idea really.

    New Build Plumbing Pressure Test

    We just had our plumbing completed on our new pool build. I've been watching the gauge set by the plumber and it went from 22 psi to 15 psi in about a days span. Then down to under 10 psi the next day. I've searched but couldn't find a clear requirement for testing. Should the pressure hold...

    Excavation How bad is it?

    Thank you all for the replies. Our areas has had very little rain and is unusually dry. Of the seven well points installed, one only is pumping very little water. The sub used our hose bibb to put some water in the bottom of the dig so he could jet the well points. I failed to mention my...

    Excavation How bad is it?

    New In Ground Shotcrete Pool

    Thanks for all the help so far. We were supposed to start Monday but after laying out the pool using some tarps in the back yard we decided it was just too small and have increased the size of the pool to 27x20 and reducing the tanning ledger to 6' instead of the 8'. The swim area will now be...

    New Pool Build in North Austin, TX

    It seems in my reading many people would add more lights if they could do it over again. You might want to consider one on your tanning ledge.

    New In Ground Shotcrete Pool

    I have a question about SWG. We are getting the IC20 which is rated for 20K gallons the pool will end up being a little more than 11K. The pool builder said I can do the IC 40 for the same price, but the IC 20 is best and doesn't want to over chlorinate the pool with the IC40. It sounds like...
