Thank You chiefwej! I was having the same problem as the original poster and your post jogged my brain into gear. My spa has an air switch and the pump is wired into it so that you can start the air blower and the pool pump by using the button at the spa. I just went out, turned on the breaker...

Thanks for the confirmation, no sense in spending money on a timer that won't be used.

We just had the pool replastered last week so the pump has been running 24/7 for the past three days during startup while the tech is getting everything balanced. Yesterday he replaced the start/stop trippers in the timer so it would shut off this morning. Came home this afternoon and the pump...

Day 6 - Finished! Actually it finished late last night on Day 5. I put a third hose in the pool and turned on the auto-fill when the water covered the inlet and it finished filling about 10:30PM last night. I really like how it turned out, please have a look at the finished pictures.

That was the original finish. When we bought the house it was four years old. I don't believe the original owner brushed the pool as required when it was new because the surface was not very smooth. Tom Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Day 5 - The pool was acid washed today to remove the blue haze and the refilling was started:D. Quite a difference between yesterday and today with all the blue haze gone. The spa is completely filled now and we're really liking how it looks. The rest of the pool should be filled sometime...

Ruby the Red Aussie is our Agility Dog. Bailey the black dog is our kids dog, we moved them from Oregon to Pismo Beach here in California over the holidays and they cannot have a dog at the place they are renting. Both dogs have been going nuts seeing all these unfamiliar people in the back yard...

Day 4 - The plaster/pebble crew showed up early this morning as I was leaving for work. I stopped by at lunch and they were just finishing up in the deep end. One more day left, tomorrow they will acid wash the pool to remove the blue haze from the surface, replace the lights and drain grates...

Day 3 - The contractor called this morning to let me know the tiling crew was on the way over. The tile will be finished today, the pebble finish will be applied on Thursday and then they will return Friday to acid wash the finish and start filling. The tile looks good, both my wife and I are...

Well, we're into day 2 of the renovation. The contractor came by yesterday and put a pump in to drain the pool, it shut off about 10:00 last night. First thing this morning the crew showed up and started the prep work. They removed the tile, checked for hollow, loose areas. The chipped out all...

We are about to start a simple renovation of our 26 year old pool. The plan is to start draining it on Monday the 2nd of February. This is a shot of the pool as it is now. Look at my signature for the specifics. We will be going with a Wet Edge Technologies Pearl Matrix finish in Mediterranean...

Greetings everyone, we currently have a 26 year old pool that is about to undergo a simple renovation. We'll be going from a white plaster finish to a Wet Edge Pearl Matrix finish in Mediterranean color. The tile is also being replaced and an accent tile border at each of the steps and the...
