I've narrowed down to 2 heat pumps, hoping to get some input and thoughts on these. Both are similar in specs. Sunblazer is built by Aquacal and has a 7 year warranty, 2 on labor whereas Built Right is an independent company, 5 years warranty but covers labor and costs for any shipping for...

The light in my pool has partially burned out after just 4 years of installation. I asked the pool installer the cost to replace and they quoted $900, which seems awfully high. It looks like I can do it myself for considerably less. My question is, is it really as simple as just unscrewing...

So, looking at adding a heat pump to our pool. I'm in Florida, so it never gets below freezing but it sometimes dips as low as mid-30s once or twice per year. The pool is 8500 gallons in a narrow rectangular shape (7 feet wide at its narrowest), and I've gotten quotes of 4200 and 5000 for a...

Okay, so our pool pump that is 4 years old died. Kaput. Seal leaked and water splashed back, so the motor ended up corroding out. I called the original pool manufacturer and they stated that to replace it would be $910 and then another company quoted me $1300, both of which seem excessively...

Our pool was finally completed late last week and is filled! Yay! Now, the tough part. The pool company builders came out, did something with the filter over the weekend, and now the pool is ready to be used for the holidays (I know, sounds weird, right?). Here's the dilemma. The other day...

In our contract for our pool, we are supposed to have 3 therapy jets built into a bench on one end of our pool. I noticed that there are no openings for such items and I've mentioned it to my contractor a couple of times. He said that one of his employees likes to install them personally to...

This was started early last week and as of Wednesday, the pool is beginning to take shape. We were pretty constrained by the wide but narrow back yard combined with HOA requirements that we cannot build within 10 feet of the rear of the property line.

The wife and i are recent transplants to Florida and after settling on a pool company, we have had the pleasure of going back and forth with both our HOA and the city before finally getting approvals and permits we need to begin. I really didn't think we'd ever get the pool approved and last...
