Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? I'm really glad I found this place. they literally do everything and are apart of all the counsels etc. these are all of the finishes they do.

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? so you're saying pressure/suction vacs can't compete with robots, and consequently you're giving up the ease of suction/pressure equipment for better cleaning with a robot? - - - Updated - - - that's true and what I was looking...

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? I actually think I'd rather have the kreepy. pressure seems better than suction. I have two returns and a suction. how would I renovate my system to make sure a keeper gets proper pressure? do I have to have a valve system to allow...

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? I am extremely sold on the rebel suction... definitely not getting rid of my vacuum suction! it combines a suction line, with a leaf catcher, and eliminates the me part lol. that's amazing! so that gets rid of vacuuming. k wonder if...

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? hahahaha, "done." how isn't there a brushing robot btw wth lol?

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? I can't wait until everything is all said and done with this and I can get an intellitouch intellichlor and intelliph =/

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? yay, and to top it all off, literally, it's pouring out right now and my winter cover hasn't came in the mail yet. more water to go through the leak into the area around the pool yay!

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? what's your idea and what's the best practice for brushing? I stand outside of the pool, and then one day I told myself, why don't you just go in the pool and brush it lol

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? that's exactly what I wanna do. buy for longevity and ease of maintenance. that combined with all of the automatic ph and chlorinators, plus how little I have to even touch my pool chemicals in general, my goal is to get it down to...

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? I'd say I got the pool for free too. a lot of people have pools in my subdivision, but a lot done, and houses were going for more than mine and even less, so that's a good way to look at it. when it's all said and done, just the...

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? were completely on the same page with everything lol. I know for a 100% fact it's the original plaster, so 44 year old plaster. that's exactly what I have been thinking too and try to tell myself to make myself happy. if it was...

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? all of those thoughts have came across my mind exactly. I'd rather not drill holes thereby reducing the risk of hitting and exposing rebar. the gunite is suppose to 100% encase the rebar which is what keeps it from oxidizing. I'd...

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? I'm also 100% sure I don't have a water table either. this subdivision was man-made onto a swamp area, and the sewer system is too notch and like handles all the water and all that or whatever. my neighbor said that also, and I...

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? my guess is, the pool builders bank on the idea that deck being properly done and wicking any kind of water far away from the pool so when it, or rain, seeps down into the ground, it's far away and isolated. my deck and seal are...

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? you're absolutely correct, and that is a great way to look at it. the outside of the shell is going to be exposed to whatever gets through the dirt from rain and or a high water table. I'd like to hear from a builder on this as...

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? I'm gonna upload a pic of what I'm about to try and explain, but I need a new fence per inspection, and in gonna see how far out to the sidewalk the city will let me go, so if the city let's me go far enough. the trees are gonna go...

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? oh man, I didn't know about inline leaf catchers. that's a really good idea! definitely gonna keep my vacuum suction then. I wanted to completely redo my plumbing out of the ground soon, so I'm probably gonna take your advice on the...

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? given the nature of my backyard and layout, I wouldn't doubt if I chose to use black poly again. if the black poly made it this far, a new set of black poly and ends would probably go another 40-50 years. plus, I could probably take...

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? how do you like that?

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? each of my suctions run back on their own valve into the pump currently btw. they T off to the pump, but all have their own tiny twisty red or blue valve closer thingamabobjig

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? omg... I forgot to put what you said about the skimmer!!! my skimmer is absolutely USELESS because of the wind!! EVERYTHING gets blown towards returns my skimmer basically is just another suction... when they built the pool, they...

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? hey everyone, im about to replace all of the black poly i can(the exception being the main drain since its 10ft underneath my pool :'(. unless someone can figure out how i can dig a 9-10ft hole without collapsing, and sliding new...

*bump* i am so jealous of your remodel lol. its absolutely amazing, worth it, and youll love it forever! i have almost the same situation. i inherited a neglected 44 year old 40x20 35k gallon gunite pool with a house i just bought. im nowhere near as far as you, but i need everything you do...

I do pretty much the same. I run the pump during the day and turn it off when I come home from work. it turns my pool over in 12 hours, so night time running is pretty much useless. I could probably run it less honestly. my water is always crystal clear. I thought about a WiFi switch on my pump...

how's it going neighbor from below? I have almost the exact scenario you do. I bought a home with a 40x20ft IG gunite pool in it, and like people have said, pools add no value really. they're all luxury pretty much. not saying they're worthless, but it's really what they mean to the buyer...

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? howdy! so I had prestige pools come out and quote me for marcite, tile, and coping. everything on my pool is 50 years old, so I wanna redo it anyway. I'm getting the marcite done first, and then the tile and coping. at first, he...

Re: gunite pool on recently purchased home- Resurface Options? FWIW, I swam in my 1974 gunite, original, neglected for the passed 5 years plaster pool, and I expected it to be 5000 worse. my feet were fine and I didn't have any reason to get out of the pool. this gives me so much confidence and...
