Well done on taking over the care of your pool. It will look the best it every had once we help you get it dialed in! Here is a link for doing the tests. I do have to warn you to NOT have anything in your mouth when you read it as you might spew it :roll: LOL...

Thank you for letting me know. I am working on fixing them now.

Pics and what start up was followed as well as how you are testing the water are all useful information so we can help you the best.

Hi and welcome to TFP! Well since you cannot find it then you will get to the be first. I will tell you I did a search and the pools I found on the web with is sure are pretty!!

Welcome to TFP! Sorry to be meeting this way. I have been there done that so here is what I did. Turn your pump off. Open up the pump basket to release any pressure or such. Gently pull while twisting on the hose and see what happens.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your tile! Do not grout it. They can and should use the plaster instead. That is what will look the best in the end. Hollow sound-Ask the PB to come out and listen with you. Ask him to drill a hole into it to prove it is not hollow. Let us know what you find. Roughness and...

I see you have a good pump so you should be able to get a good amount of suction going. I had a Wanda the Whale and loved her! She did a good job.

I will tell you the plaster samples in the show room are not a true test of how it would feel in the pool. The samples have been touched and rubbed many, many times over the years by people just like you. If you want the "softest and most comfortable plaster" then go with plain plaster without...

I am in to watch and support. How close to the house is the this pool? If it is close I would rent or get a pump so you can control where the water is going. Don't want to risk a cascade of water towards your house.

Yes, better safe than sorry. I have a copy/past from @HermanTX for you as well: some helpful hints for day of filling Do they have all the proper return nozzles and drain covers (type and color) to place after plaster installed Have you tested your fill water? Are you filling with softened...

So why can't we see the concrete? AND they don't even really touch the boards :(

That is concerning. Please back up and take a pic so we can see the whole area around that post. Is there anything in those "posts"? They look like cardboard tubes.

I wonder if you could just put in some new piping from the heater to the pool plumbing with valves to control where the heated water is going?

All of what they ^^^^ said.

I agree the first thing to do would be to pressure test the plumbing lines. That will be good information to have while you explore fixing that pretty pool up to make that back yard up!

Here at TFP we have "tested" many pool stores over time. What we found is that most, not all, pool stores tests are off/wrong. The reasons are many from not calibrating their test machine to not cleaning or rinsing out the test tubes between tests. As such we suggest using your own test kit...

Glad to see the forms there! It really shows off the soon to be finial shape! Trust yet verify about the chairs to lift the steel off the dirt.

He did not seem that worried about it! Glad it was that easy!

It is hard to tell hard to tell what happened. Go out and measure to see just how out of level it is. What does the PB say they did to even it out?

Hi and welcome to TFP. Sure sounds like your build has been anything but trouble free :( I am not understanding how they re-leveled it. Did they take the pool back out or??? When you say "stock gray shell" it makes me think it is a fiberglass pool. Some pics would be

This gen is from @HermanTX : some helpful hints for day of filling Do they have all the proper return nozzles and drain covers (type and color) to place after plaster installed Have you tested your fill water? Are you filling with softened water or regular tap water? Have your hose ready (and...

You did it!!!

You can try inyopool.com for part. If there is no rust then no real need to replace anything. Have you seen the wall under the liner? Can you see the bottom of the wall on the outside of the pool?

Hi and thanks for letting us follow along on your remodel! I do have to ask if they are doing a COMPLETE chip out of the old plaster. This is a VERY important step that some will not do to save money.

Hi and welcome to TFP! First off I will say just about anything can happen with a big enough wallet! It will need to be a fat wallet to get a pool like the one in your link. It is a very pretty pool AND it is a very unique pool. It will take a lot of specialized skills to build. For that you...

I agree with the long bench on the side. Instead you can put a "corner" seat for people to hang out on and to use as a step out. I would not give up so much pool for the big shelf. You can sun on the area outside the pool when you want to. You can also just sit on the side of the pool and hang...

I love, love, love you BLING tile pick!!! Everything else looks like you are on track with the input you have received.

@Leebo this one is for you.
