My PB asked me to wait for at least 10 days before I fired up our heater. That way we were sure the plaster was good and cured. I was continually brushing within that period of time.

If I remember, the 360 does not require the booster pump and runs off of the pressure in existing return lines. Your only concern would be if you are generating enough pressure to get the cleaner running. Being able to isolate (restrict) some of the returns to increase that pressure would be...

Jim, I have the Polaris 280 (w/ booster pump). I have no complaints to date. When guest come over, a quick release out of the side of the pool and the unit is out. I run mine for about an hour a day and my pool always stays clean. Good luck in your choice.

So when do we get to see the picture of your horse in the pool... he he he :mrgreen:

When you say softer, are you talking appearance or to keep people from knocking their knees/ splinters. Either way, I have a suggestion... Check out some of the Marine stores (WestMarine.com , Overtons.com) and look at the boat bumper section. They tend to have some smaller size rails that...

Sure, I don't see why not. In fact, with the main drain on, as that tail whips back and forth on the Polaris, it will stir up debris and perhaps push it to the drain to be filtered. Good luck.

You know... Go figure. It (the threat) didn't work on me either. :oops: I, the biggest kid of all, broke ours. :shock: :lol:

I don't have much experience on that side but what about some type of a reel system and a hand crank? Just a suggestion... I am sure others will jump in as well. Good Luck.

I currently have this one but do not like it. The post rotates in the base once the ball hits the backboard. Basketball Only I have also used this one and can now say, I should have bought another one. It is a 2 game in 1 pack (basketball/ volleyball) Basketball/ Volleyball combo I have not...

Congrats. :-D Before too long, you will be doing the Lipton Ice Tea Plunge..... 8) :lol:

TTKing, Outstretch your line and figure out which one (returns) gives you the most coverage. Do you have the ability to limit or block off some of the other returns. That may help increase the pressure a little to get that thing moving. You have a couple of adjustments on the Polaris itself...

No big deal. We encourage people to upload an avatar. You are not the first and won't be the last. If you can resize, please reload it. :-D

Have you checked any of the brew supply houses in the area. They might be able to help your needs as well. Just a suggestion. edit - just saw your AVATAR. If you can, please resize (80 x 80). thanks in advance.

First off, welcome to TFP. Is this pool related, or are you running a home brewery??? I would imaging you should be able to locate something online and have it shipped in if all else fails. Good luck.

I actually have an overflow installed above my normal water line (tile line). I have roughly 10' of PVC running at a slight slope (all underground). At the end of the line, I have a guard so no debrit can get in the line. Below it is a 1' diameter hole about 2 feet deep filled with rock to...

"You Know you're a Red-Neck when...." You have to get up at night to stoke the refrigerator. :goodjob: Classic. I love it.

Wait until you take that sock off of the end of your hose. That will really give you an idea of what you have been drinking. :shock:

Great to hear the good news. One less headache to worry about. So, when's the party????? :party:

Waterbug, I have been meaning to get these uploaded. Sorry it took so long.

Here are a few shots of the Mastic between my flagstone and deck.

Roger, Pics/ Pool are looking great. I get the award of being the safety concious nut on the forum. Notice your Propane tank by the AC compressor... Not a good mix. :( Had a friend blow a pretty big hole in his house dealing with the same thing. Sorry to be this way, but just don't want...

Welcome Miss North Carolina. Sounds like the North Carolinians are on the rise. Good job Dave (Duraleigh), you are getting the word out. NC, just wait, before too long, you will be a pro and answering questions about pools. Keep the pics coming. :-D

Probably not the place to ask but did you have to add any water? I lost about 1" from party over weekend and evaporation.

Thanks Sean. I knew you would jump in. And Carolyn, no harm intended on using name "Max" to respond. Most individuals do not want their name spread across the forum and I can respect that. Just ask TMQ, she can attest to that. And you ask, who is TMQ.... don't worry, she is everywhere...

Max, That is the million dollar question. Tons of threads and posts that you read, you will always learn something new. What some builders do and don't do. Every build is unique, there is no question about that. I can't answer your question as to whether it should or should not be included...

I definitely had my concerns. The kids were not allowed in for at least a day. Plus, I did have the pumps on and running. The overspray was so small during application and water tested fine the following day. :goodjob:

That area is basically an expansion joint between your deck and pool. I don't know the technical term of the material but I had an epoxy type caulk injected. It is flexible and also color matched to my deck/ flagstone. I am suprised that is not part of the build/ finishing touches from the...

It leaves no type of glossy finish, etc. Furthermore, the directions state that no masking, etc. is needed in/ around the pool. It dissipates within the pool.
