Got It. Thanks.

ok I will try - thank you! Nothing I should add to the water to help the process? I was thinking doing an acid bath...

hey all, so last fall we finally had our winter covered installed on our two year old pool and the installers, when drilling the holes for cover fasteners into the raised beam never cleaned up all the dust that went into the water and I didn’t see it as they got the cover on before I noticed it...

Great pools everyone! Here are few pics of ours.

Perfect, thank you!

Folks, a quick check, was using a metal brush to clean some calcium residue off a raised beam and didn’t notice few metal bristles falling into the pool. Stayed there overnight and just like that I know have rusty metal stains where the bristles landed onto the plaster. What is the best way to...

Man this sucks... opened my tapatalk just to see that TFP was no longer there... all forums I use are in TAT. TFP is one odd one out.... bummer.

Im also looking to purchase a new winter/safety cover for the new pool we built. For the old pool, at the old house I had a cover I bought through pools.com, but looks like they're no longer sell them. So looking for recommendations as well. Please chime in folks.

Hey folks, so I’m finally starting on my outdoor kitchen built, just purchased the frames from bbqcoach yesterday, as they’re running a nice 4th of July sale! So, now looking for new gas grill options. Because the built in grills are so crazy expensive, I was wondering, why wouldn’t I just be...

We’re big fans of evergreens, and I love the cypress type trees. We’ve planted green giants on one side of the fence where we want to screen more from the neighbors and plated emerald green arborvitaes on the other side for more decorative purposes.

Yes I think the fan will do the job perfectly as well. Thank you for you pr feedback. Btw, just looked at your setup - very nice! And also saw your Solar thread, that’s some excellent results. Planning to add that in the future as well.

Holly mother of all pools!!!!

So I did some test grilling with my gas grill and it was perfectly fine the ceiling didn’t even get warm. The charcoal may definitely be more problematic as I do a lot of kabobs over charcoal as well. I will have a large fan right over the outdoor kitchen area, so I’m hoping that would help...

Pentair makes deck jets. Pretty pricey tho. There are other brands out there, but none are cheap.

So I spoke with both building and fire code inspectors and both said, shouldn’t be an issue as long as I follow manufactures recommended clearances. There’s nothing in the code that advices against this. So, what I’ll do is some test grilling and will keep an eye out.

Yes wired correctly and in remote mode... when I try starting I hear the relay click and that it...

I'm gonna check with the building inspector tomorrow. I had an electrical inspector come around to do a final on the pool, I asked him and he said he would be concerned, but wasn't sure on the code part, told me to check with the building inspector. As for grills, the gas grill I probably...

Folks, so my pool house is now about done, planning the kitchen under the overhang. The concern I have is the vinyl ceiling of the overhang overheating/melting/combusting when grilling. The ceiling is 9 ft high and as you can see below everything is open. The 2 grills I will have one gas and...

Hey folks, getting the new pool going in the new house, just connected my new heat pump (Raypak), but for some reason can't get it started via aqualink RS remote. The relay fires off, but the heater won't start. Does start fine manual mode tho, so it's definitely a remote connection issue. I've...

I also vote for a regular tv. We had a 42" insignia tv in the gazebo, for 3 years (but only used during season). No issues. At all. The only thing I'd recommend is get a cover like this and use when tv is not in use. VIVO Universal Outdoor Waterproof Weather Resistant Flat Screen Cover...

I have a $100 and change Danby mini fridge, that sat in my non-air conditioned sunroom for about 6 years. I would turn it off for the off-season, so it only worked for about 7 months out of the year, but it did like a champ and for pretty hot inside that sunroom. Now, as we moved, I'm planning...

Thanks for the feedback. How long have you had it for? Any issues with longevity?

60' is pushing it with conventional repeaters, unless you're ready to throw at is some $$$ with pro stuff. I should really consider running an Ethernet line to your pergola and setting up an access point there. I'm at the similar situation with our new house we're starting the pool build...

Thanks for the feedback Mike, this is pretty much what I'm need and the quote looks nearly identical. Seeing pictures would be great especially since I'm planning to tackle majority of the work myself. I will PM you. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes definitely looking further into this. I don't even think I need anything that big. I think once we have the pool house built and I will have the waste line ready and stubbed out of the house, I will have the septic tie in re-quoted. If anything I will only have the plumber do the septic...

Yes certainly will, I wonder what's the durability on these as well. One thing replacing the grinder pump in the pit, but have no idea what kind of costs are involved when those things brake. Wish someone can chime in who has one of those. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes I'm more and more inclining to go that route. Setting one up is not any difficult and wouldn't be expensive. The permit side of it is the big question though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yep I' e seen these toilets, one brand I looked at is Saniflo. But I'm not sure pump is powerful enough on these... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
