Thanks, Kim. I appreciate that. Heard back from PB today so we’ll see. Will still try to get them to come out and take a look, especially since the line of white has extended since I took the photos late last summer. Thank you for the reply.

Hi, folks. Pool is about 18 months old. Approx 6 months ago, I began to see a thin white line appear along one edge of the channel drain. Over time it has stretched further out in both directions and a second similar line has appeared on the other side of the drain recently. I'm wondering if...

Excellent. Thanks, Donldson. Appreciate it.

Hey, folks. I got a feeling this could be a dumb question, but that never stopped me before. Is it safe to say that if I'm chlorinating with liquid chlorine then there's no reasonable way my cya would go up? Thanks!

Eric99, was the leak ever found?

Just reading your thread today. I am still green when it comes to a project like yours, but I must say it's clear you put a lot of thought into it, and it looks great. Congrats on tackling and completing a big job like that.

Allen, yes, they put rebar in before the original pour. However, I didn't know enough at that stage of the game to check over their work properly, ensure they had compacted the ground before the pour, etc. I suspect that had I known more of what to look for, I might've had some issues to discuss...

Texas Splash, this is great info. I'll take your suggestions. Thank you. Yep, I'll be off to HEB at some point later this week to grab some of their stuff. Regards, C

Hi, all. Today I'll add liquid bleach to the pool for the first time. I plugged in some numbers to the calculator but wasn't exactly sure I was doing that correctly, so just wanted to ask folks here. Here are my current levels: FC = 1 CC = 0 TC = 1 PH = 7.4 CYA = 30 At the moment, I'm...

Yep. It cracked after the original pour, then was repaired, then topped with textured deck coat. Now cracking again. We'll see if PB has a solution.

Yep, that's the only one I have been able to find thus far. So hopefully that's it. And you're probably right about it being rather minor. I'll take that to heart. Any thoughts on the hairline cracks in the deck topping? I'm thinking about filling them with Sika flex. Any ideas there? Thx

Oops. Forgot to attach pic of original crack in concrete below deck top. Here it is. Thanks.

Hi, folks. Brand new pool (finished November). Am dealing with several issues from resulting from sub par contractor work. Am wondering if anyone can help. 1) Noticed chip out of plaster recently. It's about the size of a nickel. I know putty works in these types of situations but wanted to be...

BlindinOC, did ya ever use the Sika flex? I have a few hairline cracks I'm looking to fill on my Kool deck and am wondering if you recommend the product. Thx

Loving the build, Lonnie. Looking good. Some real nice touches. Overall great layout for people...and dogs.

Now got me thinking.... Am considering going to three shorter runs, about 2 hours each. If my frost protection hadn't been kicking in, I'd do it now. Of course I can shut frost protect off, but don't want to take any chances there. Have read some good threads here that make me believe I don't...

Still figuring it out (build just completed in November), but at the moment have settled here: 12:15 AM to 6:15 AM, 1000 rpm (because frost protection was kicking on there for awhile, those temps have raised again here in central TX) 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, 1000 rpm Had much higher rpm (2800) to...

Yeah, good idea. Here's another pic.

Hi, folks. Pool just finished and filled 3 wks ago. Soon after noticed dark spot on back side. Believe it is damp but hard to tell. Expands and contracts from day to day - not sure why. Waiting to hear from PB. Any ideas? Very close to skimmer, about 18 inches to the right. Thx

Thank you, Jim & kingstar. I believe you are correct: it is a Venturi skimmer. Appreciate the links. Very useful. C

Hi, folks. PB told me yesterday that one of the skimmers we have on our new build is "not a suction skimmer". Does this sound normal? I haven't had a chance to talk with PB at length due to holiday tomorrow, but am wondering if anyone is familiar with this. When I put my hand down the skimmer, I...

Do you still have this bot? Are you enjoying it? I've been considering this one. Any experience to share? thx

lisevolution, what did you end up buying? I am torn between triton plus, s300, m400, polaris 9550. I have a ton of trees in the yard as well. Any experience to share?

Folks who have the the M400 or M500, how do those units do with cleaning up leaves? As I mentioned earlier, I've got several trees in the yard....9 to be exact. The two skimmers will do some good work, and I'll be out there doing a lot as well. In terms of supplementing with a robot, anybody...

I am in nearly the same position as miles267. I'm torn between the Dolphin Triton (or Triton Plus), the s300i, the m400, or the polaris 9550. I like the tritons, s300i, and polaris for the easy top loader basket each one has. I like the polaris and m400 for the split brushes up front, rather...

Quick update: workers came and opened cracks a bit, them filled them with more cement. They also cut two additional joints. That said, I'm going to request two more joints be cut. For the most part, the fill did the trick, except in a few places where a much thinner -- albeit still visible --...

Good luck with this. Hopefully, there's a satisfactory solution.

Thanks, folks. That's all useful information. PB coming out tomorrow to take a look. Says that if a dime can stand upright in the crack, then that's a serious one to deal with, and if no dime will fit, then it's less serious. Also believes from the pics I sent him that these are surface cracks...

Ok. Thanks. In your opinion, is there a quick fix, i.e. cut some new joints, or should these slabs be completely redone?

Yes, was very hot -- 100 easy. So your thoughts are that it might need to be redone completely?
