Just an update not much going on the last two days, just alot of gravel back fill against all the walls. Other than that waiting for the PB to Dig another pool near by and bring in alot of fill from that pool to level things off. No big deal we didn't plan on opening the pool this year as it is...

The pool is 18x36x28. Thats not sand in the bottom it's masonary cement. Thanks for all the kind words, the PB is coming back this morning so I Hope to have more pic up later.

The PB started today and made a ton of progress. http://s438.photobucket.com/albums/qq10 ... 20Digging/

I will be covering it with a Black winter tarp and water bags for this year because the concrete patio will be poured in the spring. You guys are not making this decision very easy with mixed thoughts. I'm not worried about the cost of water in draining some(water here is cheap) Just wondering...

I'm about to become a new pool owner, they dig next week. Just wondering if I should fill the pool to the normal depth and stabilize the water condition before closing which will be costing more in water and chemicals to have to drain it down in a few weeks. Or just fill to below the returns and...

This forum is so much help! I have one other question, What all do I need to bond? Pump, Heater, SGW control box, Pool frame, Ladder rails, Sub panel, Timer, do i need to bond the aux receptical or pool lights. Is there anything i'm missing or doing anything i don't need.

I have to move it for the guys to dig the foundation for the addition and then move it back after into the new cabana in the addition.

I like the idea of the variable speed pump. The PB is selling us the Hayward Super Pump 3/4 HP, but I think the Hayward TriStar Energy Solution would be better. Anyone know what kind of price difference there is and should we stick with 3/4HP?

Thanks for all the help, this forum is a great help.

Having my pool put in in two weeks. IG 25000 gal full L. The question I have is we plan on putting an addition on the house in two years and at that time I will have to move the pump, filter, heater and SWG. Is this that big of a deal? Can i just dig down and re-plumb? Is there flexable pipe...

Knew i forgot something, I want to keep most things running on 220v as it is cheaper to run.

Thanks hotrod. Can i run the pump and heater to the timer together, because i don't want the heater on when the pump is off? Can the SWG stay on if the pump is off? If i have a gfci in the house why outside also? That gets very expensive with 220v gfci's. Does the bonding wire need to be in...

I am having a pool installed and and want to be completely prepared when the assembly is complete. I need to know what electrical supply i need? It is a 18x36 with a 3/4 hp pump, salt water generator, sand filter, gas heater, aux receptical and 2 12v lights. What i want to know is what amp...
