It's been awhile since I have been on here. My neighbor and I are trying to set-up his 24' X 54" pool. We have the ground just about level, should be done today. I am trying to find out how much sand needs to be emplaced before we install the pool? Any pointers about things we need to do will be...

I already pointed him in this direction. They know I had a saltwater generator and want to do the samething, so I will be the hand they keep holding onto very tightly. Sometimes neighbors can be a very good thing,LOL.

Thank you for your quick response. Now all I need to do is get him to drop some more money. They are leaning on my real heavy because neither of them have ever owned a pool before. So they think I'm a real smart guy because I have had a couple of them.

My neighbor just aquired a used 24' round Intex pool. We got a freind to drag the yard fairly level with his tractor and boxblade. We have gotten the ground leveled by the old shovel and kick job, now its time for the sand. Can anyone give me an idea of how much sand is needed for this size pool?

Bama, Yesterday I had another spa guy out here to take a look. He bypassed the GFI in the spa control box, 50 amp still would not stay on. Then he unhooked the two pole circuit and the circuit breaker would stay on, he did not have a new two pole circuit though. So I contacted the spa company...

Well I cannot get power to the spa, had an electricaian and the pool tech here the last two days and they cant get it going either. Pool guy stated I have the wrong type breker and had no idea where I could buy the correct one. I am at a total loss now.

ell the pool company came out yesterday and checked the wiring. He said it was wired to the wrong type of circuit breaker. It was a 50 amp two pole GFI breaker, and I was told I need a three pole breaker and it does not need to be a GFI as the spa has one in the control box. I went to return the...

I just had an electrician here to check my wiring job, everything I did was correct and to code. He could do nothing inside the spa control panel. Got the pool tech scheduled for sometime tomorrow to come check it and make it work for the wife.

I attempted to wire my used (new to me) spa. Bought a 50amp GFI breaker and hooked it just as the local store instructed me to. I just tried to turn the circuit breaker on and it did not work, just popped back to the off position. I am unsure were to go to but an electrician and hope someone...

Yesterday I wentand bought the last pieces of plumbing that were broken and got it all hooked up. The pool store wanted to sell me all kinds of stuff they said I would need, they did the samething when I set up my pool. I am not sure how long it has been empty, at least the two months I have...

I think it ill be used once or twice a week. I do not have an ozinator. The volume is 200 gallons.

Yes its a stand alone spa, was hoping to get a little more information on starting it up. I was thinking of using Bromine due to the size of the spa. I have been told its is a little cheaper and if the water doesnt test right I could just drain it and refill the spa.

I am getting ready to start my first spa up, found this site awhile back and you took great care of my pool change over to salt. I have a two person spa that I have basically rebuilt from the ground up and hope to start adding water this weekend. I have no idea of what I need to get this thing...

I got a pool company out here yesterday to check out my hot tub heater. The guy found the relays were stuck, he got them working correctly before leaving. It cost me less then half what a new heater would have cost. Now its time to start tearing into the tub shell and completely replace it so I...

Bama, I took the heating element to a pool store yesterday nad this lady tested it. She got a reading of 10.4 from wire conection to wire connection. When she tested connection to sheath she got no reading at all. They are suppose to have a tech coming out my way either Tues. or Weds. he called...
