The pump is an Intelliflow XF VSF Maybe this for outside...

I have a skimmer that is not cracked or damaged but somehow the weir is stuck down. I looked at it and it is way too tight. I don’t remember if it ever worked right. I am thinking of sanding the edges down and seeing if I can get it to swing properly. Anyone else see this before?

Is there a compelling reason to buy a pool vfd vs an after market vfd? Pentair wants around $1000 for a vfd. That is almost the cost of a whole pump. Sounds like gouging to me. After market, you can get vfd’s all day long for a couple hundred . I get the programmed in features would not...

6 Jets = 60 cfm. Jandy recommendation. Nothing magical. I could miss that number and not care probably. Pool was filled yesterday. Jets are not yet installed. My cousin, Who builds crazy pools for himself, said his spa uses a 2 hp and it was similar to mine. Don’t have any other...

I might have a problem. My spa was plumbed with 1.5” air line to 6 jets. The line has only sweep 90’s or 45’s. 5ea 90’s and 1ea 45 the spa Jets are probably 12” below water. The total run is probably about 39 feet. All of the calculators seam to use 2” air line. There is...

old thread, new question. I am am concerned about where to put the acid tank. I have my heater on one end, pumps on the other. Filter in the middle (that is my planned layout, still plumbing). I dont want the acid tank at either end, so planning next to the filter. Any issues...

Just some specs on the pool. #4 grade 60 rebar on a 12" grid. Double mat on all walls tied and overlapping at least 18" into floor mat. Spa walls capped with "U" bars all around. There will be some on the pool walls, but the engineer says I don't need them. I just have some left over...

It is an OB pool and it was modeled in SolidWorks.

Btw..... I spent 4 hours today helping him just to get it almost done. He was having problems staying off my pipes and leaving the tops level on the spa.

Rebar is almost done. I hope to start plumbing this weekend. Woo hoo. Only problem is that now I am busy. Very busy. So this will suck more than it would have if he finished two months ago when I had more time.

I had that problem for a while and never completely figured it out. I think it was my basket lid. When I really tightened it the bubbles went away.

None of those will travel that far. Maybe for specific clients or mega builds.

I was contemplating San Antonio or Waco. Houston seams like it would be expensive for a travel fee.

Any final pics?

He has done quite a bit of tying, but not everywhere and he has a lot of finish up to do.
