How is this working for you? Any signs of rust? Also, do you have to remove the screen to remove the skimmer basket for cleaning? Thanks!

Looks great! What size is your bathroom?

As the title states, I’m looking on advice on whether I should have the pool plaster applied prior to or after the travertine deck is installed. My hard scape contractor is different than my PB so having the pool completed first by the PB before having the hard scape contractor finish everything...

As the title of the threads states, I’m looking to garner thoughts on the use of joint trenches for plumbing, electrical and gas lines. Obviously the plumbing would be in piping but in this case I’m also assuming the electrical would also be in electrical grade (grey) conduit. Would love to...

We are just learning thatone of our Jandy LED lights is greater than 150 feet from the pool equipment. Does Jandy make an extender? Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. I have updated my signature for the time being but will put some more thought into it and update as necessary again soon.

Good morning! We are getting close to having our pool equipment installed. We ended up deciding to move the equipment location from the location #1 (which was at pool deck level) to location #2 which is roughly 5-6 feet below the pool deck level. The primary reason for this change was to make...

Great...thank you! Any thoughts on entire pool or the specific areas (waterline tile, spa, negative exposed pool wall)?

I have finally found someone in the local area who is familiar with Basecrete. They have provided an initial quote of $2,500 to apply Basecrete behind the 6x6 waterline tile, entire exterior and interior of spa, and outside (negative) side of the exposed pool wall for $2,500. Alternatively...

My pool builder is unaware of Basecrete. When asking them about waterproofing behind the waterline 6x6 ceramic tile and behind the 1x1 glass tile on the exposed spa, they recommended using a product by SGM called “Sill and Wall Mud.” SGM’s website states it’s a plaster substrate. Can anyone...

Off topic question, what is the expected life of a concrete shell? Knowing that the plaster will eventually have to be replaced.

Would you consider waterproofing the full shell if it occurred after 28 days (or whatever threshold you were comfortable with for letting it cure first)?

Great points! Would you recommend waterproofing any of the following: 1) raised spa (tiled interior and exterior) 2) Exposed wall (natural stone exterior) If so, both the interior (positive) and exterior (negative), or just one or another?

What product are you using?

As the title of the thread states, what are your thoughts of waterproofing (or damp proofing as some would say) the concrete shell prior to the plaster being installed with a product such as Basecrete? Does the entire pool require it? If not the entire pool, how about a raised spa or an...
