Thanks CJ. I I'll stay with 110.

I bought this pump a while ago and had it hooked up 110VAC. Done some reading and decided I needed to move it to 220VAC. I thought I still had the wiring instructions but can't seem to find them now. Google search results for the pump have not been fruitful. Anyone have one or can look at...

Looks like the pool company will be here in a couple weeks to replaster. My wife wants to go Saltwater and we were at Pinch A penny yesterday choosing the plaster color and they were pushing the Jandy TrueClear SWG. I searched here and did not find much information on them. Price is right...

I've got 220 at the pump now.

I'd love to say that we will be here for a while but every 3 years the contract comes up for renewal and we are there now. Good possibility that we could be moving in 6 months.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like the consensus is to hide the pump. Anyone got some pictures to share of how they hid theirs?

I purchased a foreclosed home and the pool does not have a pump on it. Pool is a Kidney shape ~35' long, ~18' at its widest point, 6' deep at the deep end. My best guess without adjusting for the kidney shape and the shallow end I come up with about 28,000 gallons. 1 outlet for a jet and 1...

Finally putting the pool in service at the house we bought a little over a year ago. For whatever reason (most likely it was to save $100- $200 in PVC) the previous owners put the pump out in the open. I think that the wife would rather have that hidden from view. Trying to decide if I should...

Finally booked the company to come out and resurface next month. I'll keep this thread updated with pics as they complete the process.

Got another quote today for $8400 and if I signed a contract this week for completion before Labor day he would give me 10% off of that. That is a lot more doable. Got another company supposed to come by Friday to give me a quote. Since I am in the panhandle of Florida we still have a couple...

They never called so I guess they are out. After looking at it further I think it will have to be re-plastered. I scrubbed off some of the gunk in several places and it is VERY rough. I can't see being able to be in there for mor than 5 minutes before your feet are raw. The guy that came by...

Any update on how it is holding up?

Got a quote from a local pool company to come take care of it. With the water table as high as it is (about 18" below the concrete) I figure it is best to just let them pump it out and take care of it. My main concern with doing it myself is floating the pool so I assume that they know what...

Ok got the pipe/laterals out and the rest of the sand. If the sand from Home Depot is no good I guess I'll head to the pool place. I'll call them tomorrow. Maybe they will not be too much more than HD.
