    Grout dust in spool

    Yes, I’ll have to complete that. In the meantime, it’s a Jandy. Didn’t get the model number (new construction so I don’t live there at the moment), but here’s a pic. Also, my landscape contractor left me a gift of paver sand in my pool. What’s the process for removing?

    Grout dust in spool

    I’m brand new to the spool game, so I don’t know whether I should be concerned or need to take any action. My pool contractor had to remove and turn over a 1’x4’ piece of bluestone coping because they chipped it during installation. In doing so, they had to grind out the grout and make some...

    Does overflow affect plants?

    I have not addressed the issue with my neighbor but have brought it to the attention of our builder, who also built the neighbor‘s house. They just got their CO a few of weeks ago, so it’s still a builder warranty issue. Regarding local regulations, so far I haven’t been able to find anything...

His pool contractor installed the overflow between our properties. My land is still being graded, but will end up about 4 feet...

    Where did the water go?

    Building a new house that includes a small spool, about 2600 gallons (see pic). It is just in the shotcrete stage. In the Atlanta area it’s been raining the past 7-10 days. Friday, when I went over the house, the pool was about half full of water. Yesterday, Sunday, I went over and the pool was...

    Broken whip…and more?

    Thanks. I don’t want to touch the equipment for fear of being blamed for doing something that negatively affects the operation. I did put the pool contractor, as well as my GC, on notice that I expect the whip to be changed and that I suspect the blower has been affected as well. Even if it...

    Broken whip…and more?

    Greetings pool forum. I am a future pool owner. Currently building a house that will have a small, 10x10 spool. This will be my first pool. The shotcrete and pump equipment were installed a few months ago. When walking around the house today I noticed the protective casing on the electrical whip...
