Are you putting a gizmo in the Skimmer?

Thanks you confirmed what I was thinking. I'll lower the water level to drain them and blow them out. Then cap and put some antifreeze in lines for good measure.

Hi everyone, So im closing my pool for the first time and my friend who helped me install the pool will help me close it with his cyclone blower but I have questions specifically about handling my low voltage conduit lines. It's a 20*40 inground steel wall vinyl liner pool. I installed 4 sr...

Ask me if I'll ever help anyone do this!!! Thanks again for your help!!

All done. Backfilled and lights look great! Thank you all!

My pool is larger than yours 36k. But I have 2" pipe all around pool equipment and 1.5 inch return and drain lines. The in line chlorinator has 1.5 inch plumbing so I went with offline to avoid a bottle neck like you described.

Pool is refilled and no leaks thank God. I may just silicone around the joints to be safe. Anyone know what silicone is safe for PVC and conduit and can also be buried? Can't wait to connect lights to transformer and see how they look (and confirm they work lol)

Good luck I hope this works out for you. Contract should state what the work is supposed to entail... Have you refilled pool yet? Can you prove the bottom wasn't done or would u have to redrain the pool?

UPDATE @jimmythegreek Project mostly completed! This past weekend we drained enough water down in the pool to unhang the liner as we needed to. I was in the pool knee deep and had cardboard taped under every hole we were going to cut with a vacuum running. It worked out well. We drilled 4...

I would only be able to connect the grid at one point to the existing loop, the ladder loop/copper is still exposed. All other wire is buried. So if i were to use this metal mesh under the pavers all around the pool, say one strip worth, can i tie those all together with metal ties and then...

so i'm good with the bonding...i'm doing pavera. no need to add a mesh blanket just for the sake of adding it all around the pool. The pool is properly bonded and there will be no additional metal added within 5 feet of the pool. Need to focus on this darn coping now and how to best handle...

I can confirm our code in connecticut and specifically middletown does not need this mesh. The deck would only need bonding if you're doing a concrete patio with steel/rebar reenforcement. Pavera/concrete/mortar (no metal) = no bonding required. so i'm good. still need a solve around this...

Thank you! I believe i only need this mesh if i want to re-enforce a concrete pad. I shouldn't need this if i'm laying pavers....so as of now only the metal all around the pool is bonded with the 8gauge wire (ladder, pump, several points of contact along the panels, the water is also bonded etc.)

Good morning all! I found an old thread where this was discussed but wanted to start a new one for better feedback. I have two questions i need help with.... Background: Pool is finished, been using it for months and we did it ourselves. It's a steel panel pool, vinyl liner, about 40x20...

I'm glad i found this post. I'm in an exactly similar situation. have processed all around the pool now and need to think next of how to install coping. I've heard of some installing a foot or so wide 4 to 5" deep pad of concrete all along the perimeter to adhere the coping to. Unfortunately...

What exactly do you cut with the Dremel? Wouldn't I just use a 3 1/8" hole saw to cut an even hole and the locking nut holds everything in place? I have a beaded liner. I have a guy that has owned his own company and helped me with the install of my pool. I'll talk to him again to see his...

Please tell me you live in Connecticut and can maybe come help me do this 😁I'll feed u like a king. All the booze u want AFTER 😁

4" behind light to reduce pipe size. Still confused how lowering water halfway will allow for enough pressure to unhang the liner in that spot. It needs to be lifted to unhook out of the groove. See attached photos for the fittings

I appreciate this very much. In order to take pressure off the liner to unhook it I need to lower water level quite a bit. I don't think lowering it halfway down the wall will be enough to release the pressure. I'll be doing this probably in mid September when it will start getting too cold to...

I don't know if the fittings are standard. The model of the fitting is LNS-2V. I have to drill a 3 1/8" hole for the fitting to work. I was going to lower water level to below shallow to take pressure off before winterization unhang first half of liner on that side do the first two put liner...

Is it a big deal to lower the water level or empty pool entirely before winter. Take down part of the liner to do the job properly then refill before winter? I'm not concerned about water costs just getting it done properly
