    SWG tested fine but inaccurately reading salt level

    Forgot to mention I’ve tried cleaning the cell twice now. No change. I checked the flow switch and it is reading flow correctly

    SWG tested fine but inaccurately reading salt level

    No chlorine, so checked panel and said low salt level. Was reading around 2300 ppm. Took water to pool store and they said salt content was fine at 3200 ppm. Said SWG may be going bad and to bring back and they could test. SWG is under three years old. I didn’t trust their salt reading, so added...

    Frustrated and need advice on build issues

    Unfortunately decking is already down and plaster is supposed to begin tomorrow. Here is a picture of the pool prior to electrical, looking from the general direction of our back door. The spot on the back wall in the center of the curve is where they put our second light. The other is on the...

    Frustrated and need advice on build issues

    I don't want this post to come across like I am bashing our PB, b/c they have gone out of their way to fix all of the problems they have encountered....but we have experienced issue after issue on our build. First they didn't spray the gunite at the depths/form that we discussed during the...

    Concerned about gunite installation...questions and pics

    Concerned about gunite installation...questions and pics

    No offense taken. We know a few people that have them and they are a very popular spot for the younger kids. We dropped ours to 12" deep to make it a spot that adults could also lay around in. And at 12"....you can still set a couple Adirondack chairs or even a lounger. With the loungers we...

    Concerned about gunite installation...questions and pics

    Appreciate the response. However, It was explained better to them than I described on here. Their computer program couldn't handle the design of the slope in multiple directions, so we discussed it during the pool layout. Exact spots were identified where I wanted the slope changes to happen. I...

    Concerned about gunite installation...questions and pics

    Our new pool installation is underway. My PB actually sprayed the gunite this passed Friday. I have experience pouring concrete and the like....but have no experience with gunite installation. I have a couple questions based on concerns from looking at the pool and have not been able to find a...

    Need suggestions for depth and interior features....HELP

    Planning on signing a contract on a new pool in the next day or so and we are struggling to decide what we want. One of the PBs put together a nice layout that we really liked. I have attached a picture of the pool below. I don't know the actual dimensions, it is a 300 sqft pool, but it should...
