Update...I turned it off and now it's blinking "No Flow"...

So, we aren't sure what happened but the settings on the display have changed. It used to say a 4 digit number and now it doesn't. Google has been NO help!! It used to have the salt content on the LCD when I opened the box. Now this is what the lineup is: Initial Display(not pressing any...

You are partially correct with the photo! There are vertical walls--then NO shelf but a steep slope to the deep end floor. I really hope our deep end isn't too deep. I'm guessing we would have to purchase a new liner and we just can't afford that right now. :(

Hi everyone! Well, we installed the liner this afternoon. We attempted to vacuum the liner into place but we could never get a good seal. So, we decided to start adding water anyway b/c our efforts were fruitless. Well, we got about 4 inches of water in the pool and it looks like the liner is...

Hi everyone! Well, after 11 months of work, we are FINALLY ready to fill our pool this weekend! The project took about 8months longer than expected thanks to a wet winter--and the fact that we didn't hire out anything--just me and my husband doing it! Anyway, our pool is vinyl below ground...

First I want to apologize for all my questions/posts!!! Okay, the pool we bought(Odyssey design) has a lot of curves in it. My husband is concerned about all the curved slopes and getting them right. The dig specs give NO information about the slopes in the pool...so we are not sure what grade...

Does anyone in the Metroplex know of a place that sells Pool Krete? I've only found 3 supplies online and they all charge exorbitant shipping/freight service! I figure DFW is SO large, someone MUST sell it!! On a side note, we have started our in-ground vinyl pool! I don't know what we were...

A question about your pool permit and inspections. Did you have problems getting your pool building permit? Also, are you having to get an electrical inspection?

We went to a pool store yesterday and were looking at some pool lights. We were really interested in the Intellibright LEDs that change colors/patterns. But the sales guy said that he wasn't sure if they would work with a steel walled pool b/c: Apparently in gunite pools they make a special cove...

Did you mix and pour the concrete footing on your own? Contractors around here are asking $1800 for the concrete and that seems really expensive.

We are trying to figure out how much the "extras" are going to cost before we start our loan process. But we are unsure of the cost of the decking(if we did just concrete), and the concrete that is needed to set the walls. We are planning on doing a 2.5-3ft wide deck(no patio or anything). The...

If I may ask, how much was the charge for the gunite installation? We are trying to figure out if this PB we are interested in is over charging us for that! Your pool is beautiful!!!

So, following the lead of past DIYers I decided to call excavators to see if they would be willing to dig the pool hole and haul away the dirt. Either no one answered or they didn't do residential work. I then decided that Craigslist might be a good place to find people! I put an ad up looking...
