Helping a friend with a pool made of cement block and some kind of skim coat that I am pretty sure is not gunnite. Anyways it is leaking around the skimmer which I don't believe was installed properly to begin with but hoping to avoid sawing it out and busting up concrete etc. Is there a...

Was this issue ever solved? I am having the exact same problem. Salt level reads 2300, tests fine. I had the system and cell tested at the pool store and it was fine still get the Check salt light and system will not generate. This only the second year for all my equipment. Not sure what...

Thanks for the reply. I would say that basically this is my setup: Swimline Universal Solar Cover Reel Strap Kit 5100SK The little screws pop out of the clips that hold it to the cover. Then ends stay on the straps themselves no problem and no issues where it attaches to the reel either.

I have a ~20x40 kidney shaped pool and a heavy duty hurricane solar cover reel. The reel works great, but need a heavy duty way to attach the straps to the cover. I continually have problems with them pulling off. I/ We manually pull the first 1/3 of the cover up to the reel and then crank it...

Many thanks for that data sheet as well by the way!

Thanks for the replies. So jumped the low pressure switch and it fired up, so that let me know the fan, capacitor and controls were fine and it was either the low pressure switch itself or it was low on refrigerant. I put a set of gauges on it and there almost no pressure (high and low sides)...

Through online searches this stands for Low Pressure but sounds like it can be caused by a bunch of stuff other than just a freon leak, like a bad fan motor, start capacitor, control board, etc., etc. Since I don't have A/C gauges, would like to try to cross off anything I can before calling a...

Thank you. We really like the decking. To be honest my opinion was concrete is concrete and just wanted to make sure we had a good base, thickness and rebar in it. The wife preferred a broom over swirl finish and not the smoothed edges that kind of frames in each section like a box (not sure...

Thank you very much! That is awesome and best of luck with your project! I am generally a bit of a perfectionist and am never quite happy with my projects, but am happy with how this one turned out. I have had some great folks help me with this project and do some great work. I got it full...

and today at long last, finally the liner went in.

Really? I am going to have to check into that. Thanks!

I am certain this will probably be of no interest to anyone else, but I am a bit OCD on the plumbing setup as I worked as a laborer for my uncle who is a plumber through high school and college. I am also certain there is an obscene amount of over kill in this setup as well. All plumbing is...

The vermiculite floor went in today. Weather permitting liner goes in tomorrow. Here is are some before and after pics: Before: During: [/url] [/url] After:

After 2 SOLID weeks of rain (litterally every day) plus a week of drying out the yard and pumping out the deep end, finally poured the decking today. Tomorrow will be finish dressing out the concrete and removing forms (sub-contractor), and I will hopefully be hooking up the filter pad...

And finally backfilled Planning on starting the concrete decking area later this week. Doing cantilever coping. Glad to have gravel instead of mud! Thanks Mike.
