    Pool Builder Doesn’t Blow Out Lines to Winterize - Iowa Winter

    A lot of questions here. Pool build is in process. 16x32 vinyl liner pool with 7x12 sun deck. Pool builder started in September and we got 10 inches of rain throughout the month so he won’t be able to finish pool until spring. He got as far as pool walls up lines set up and concrete deck...

    CircuPool RJ-45 Plus with Pentair VS Superflo

    So I called CircuPool (actually the number forwarded me to discount salt pool). I called to ask if they had a pump that was compatible to their SWG to reduce the need for the timer. They said if you use a VS Pump with an auto timer the flow switch acts as the off and on switch. So you can run...

    CircuPool RJ-45 Plus with Pentair VS Superflo

    New pool build and looking for equipment advice. I came across the rj45+ and the reviews on here appeared to be great. I pulled the trigger and purchased today. If I go with a vs pump with the timer built in do I need to have a timer for the SWG or does it on all the time and only produces...

    New Pool need equipment advice

    Yes he will plumb everything from the pool up to the equipment pad. I will plumb the equipment pad. I mentioned check values and sweep elbows and he looked at me like I was crazy. So I gave him a layout of where I want the suction side and return stubs at and I’ll go from there.

    New Pool need equipment advice

    What specific model number EasyTouch would I need? No spa so it would be just pool, heater, pool lights, pump, SWG, and landscape lights. Thanks

    New Pool need equipment advice

    Hello, We are starting construction in the next couple weeks on our first pool. The pool builder is allowing me to purchase and install all my own equipment because I didn’t like what he had standard with the pool contract. Hayward sand filter and single speed Hayward pump and no salt system...

    Our first pool build - Iowa - Vinyl Liner Pool

    Sorry 24 inch not lbs. I edited my post. When we talked about SWG he just referenced cost and not convince. He said by the time you calculate savings and recupe upfront cost you have to replace the SWG.

    Our first pool build - Iowa - Vinyl Liner Pool

    Getting closing to breaking ground on our first ever pool. Pool builder has been in business for 35 years and even though he is in his 60’s is hands on in every part of the pool build. He is very opinionated and from the sounds of it old school. Before we get started I wanted to check with...

    LED lighting questions

    Just recently picked a pool builder and put a deposit down. No lights were included in the basic build. We are building a 720 sq foot pool. 28x36x16x12 L shaped pool. He recommended one non LED pentair light. So that's what we had him put in the contract. Construction won't start still...
