    Neighbor renting out their "Poolside Paradise." Renters keep coming to my house.

    So this has happened a couple times now, fortunately we've been home both times. Back in June we're enjoying our pool and two strange cars show up in the driveway. I ask if I can help them, "Hi we're here for a pool rental?" Uhh, not at this house? She had my address but someone else's name...

    Help, valve leaking while pool is winterized/closed

    I don't go out back much this time of year but I noticed today that one of my valves is leaking a steady drip, enough for the ground to be wet. Unfortunately the pool is winterized and I have the valve closed to keep the water out of the pumps, but I don't know how I'm going to be able to fix...

    Installation Options on RJ-45 Plus

    I am just about to order the Circupool RJ-45 Plus and am trying to figure out the best and easiest way to install the cell and the flow switch.

    Closing difficulties with cartridge filter and pool level above equipment

    My pool closing cost was included in the build so they closed it last year. I was not able to be there so I'm not sure how they closed it. They charge $315 so I am trying to do it myself this year. I lowered the water to about 2 inches below the skimmers but could not get a shop vac to suck...

    Automation equipment mounted inside-conduit?

    I just purchase a Jandy variable speed pump and Jandy IQPUMP01 controller. The IQPUMP01 unit connects to the pump with a three wire cable that is wrapped in a casing. I think I am going to mount the unit inside of my basement as the equipment is right outside. I have to drill another hole for my...

    New Pool - What type of cleaner? Robotic or Pressure Side?

    I'm in the very beginning stages of an inground gunite pool build which hopefully the digging will begin in about six weeks. It will be a free form pool, approximately 18x36 plus two sort of sunshelves/tanning ledges (making some dimensions in the pool 21.5' wide and 41' long). It will be 3.5'...

    Blank slate/Pool build in Maryland

    I've been lurking here for several months as we've interviewed potential builders and contemplated what we wanted to do with the backyard. We've got a walkout basement on one side and some elevation changes that are complicating things, along with my innate desire to never have any regrets...
