The pump was running at 2000rpm when I checked the filter pressure. Would that make the filter show basically *zero* pressure (and then jump up to 10 when I switched the valve to turn on the water feature)?

So... pool remodel, new pump (Jandy VS-FHP1.0), new plumbing, new water feature (Paramount Parascope). Finally got the pump up and running yesterday, and it looks like the pressure gauge on the filter only goes up (to about 10ish) when I turn the valve to activate the water feature. Otherwise...

Part of our service is chemical balancing/etc. for the first month. It's only been filled since Sunday, and the chemical guy came out yesterday to start balancing it. I'm mostly just staying the heck out of their way (I am excited to get the pump running, though, so we can check out our...

Yup! I'll bug my PB. When I'm done bugging him about everything else. :) First, we need to figure out why our shiny new pump won't turn on! It's got power going to it, but the controller display... is just blank. Ah well, not my problem. Emailed PB.

So, our remodel is basically done (mostly), and now that we've got water back in the pool, we're taking advantage of our umbrella sleeves. The placement is a little off for getting the shade in just the right spot, but I was thinking today that an offset umbrella could provide a lot more...

Water's going in now. About 2/3 full so far. We *love* the color. :) We got a new VSP, and a water feature on the shelf (Parascope!). Got another email from our PB after I replied to his: Which is basically exactly what I needed to hear (as long as they follow through). I think the biggest...

Oh, I don't really trust our builder. :) I get frustrated basically every time I email our guy.

*sigh* "All interior finishes go through a curing stage. Once the pool is filled, and chemicals are added the true look will begin to show. I am sure after a few days all will look great." Yeah, I don't think "curing" is going to make extra plaster disappear.

See... I don't even think we *had* a project manager other than our sales guy. The smaller company (guy, really) was Sierra Ridge pools. The guy was *super* informative and talkative. I really liked him, and his prices were only *slightly* higher than Premier's, but my wife's family is very...

Thanks! Diverminh, how has your communication with premier been? I've been really dissatisfied with their communication level. Every step of the way has felt like pulling teeth to find out what's happening next, what they need from us, etc. They even started on the steel for our shelf even...

So, our pebble tec (tahoe blue) went in yesterday, acid washed today, and we're filling now (soooo slowly). Looking at the corners of our shelf/step, practically all of them have a lot more of the blue plaster showing through than the rest of the surface, which looks kind of crappy IMO. pics...

Roger that. And yeah, I think the pool is pretty old. It wouldn't surprise me if it was original, but I don't really have any way of knowing, short of a trip to the county clerk's office to try to find the original building permits. Easier to just dig down and scratch at a pipe a little bit. :)

Looking at our equipment area, the pipes going into the equipment are PVC, but it *looks* like copper coming out of the ground. I'll verify before making any decisions either way, but is the general consensus "metal: replace, PVC: should be fine"? Sorry, I meant replastering the deck. We're...

So, my wife and I bought our house in 2012. It had been vacant for several months prior to that, and the pool was left to rot (it was quite swampy when we moved in). Last year, the plaster on the top step of the tile started flaking off, and there have been major problems with black algae (at...
