Pool was put in in late 2013 and the liner already looks terrible. Very faded. I use a SWG so continued high chlorine count is not a real problem but it is what the installer blamed for the rapid fading. My pool does have the unique quality of consuming CYA each year. I have never, not once...

Salt water vinyl liner pool....last year I started having trouble maintaining my chlorine level. Every few days I was having to increase my run percentage on my salt cell to keep up. I figured I just had a cell beginning to go bad until I noticed the liner beginning to fade. Scramble mode kicked...

Last fall my 14 month old Hayward Sp2600 pump started making noises and leaking water .... it was time to button up the pool for the winter so I just drained the pump, ran some anti-freeze through it and forgot about it until this week. I decided to go out this morning and take the pump apart...

Aside from the chemical process of closing a pool ...... here is what I have done. I have individual pipes for each of two returns, 2 skimmers, 3 deck jets and a main drain. Each pipe lands at the pad with a union. I did not drop the water level at all ... auto cover. I took loose the unions...

Correct me if I am wrong but doesnt the conduit fill up with water? That is what my pool builder told me .... How is a person supposed to winterize that? Where the conduit comes up on my pad and then into my panel I supposed I could pour antifreeze into it.

New pool owner .... been up and running for about 2 weeks and I am still trying to get everything lined out and functioning precisely. FC 6.5 CYA 75 PH 7.8-9 TA 220 salt 3300 Water is crystal clear but obviously the TA is out of whack and FC needs to be brought down a hair. Just making sure...

I took the easy way out and am having a PB do the install instead of doing it myself ..... I will still be doing the electrical and equipment pad myself. Anyway, the big truck showed up today with a whole lotta stuff ..... kind of exciting. 18x36 Inground steel wall liner pool. 6" radius...

I have been going back and forth for the last 2 years about building a pool. Doing it myself ... hiring it done ..... back and forth. I finally agreed to have a builder put one in for me and he is supposed to start in 3 weeks. I am going through everything in my head trying to makes sure I get...

Getting closer and closer to ordering a DIY inground pool kit. I like the looks of the sharper corners but from reading it seems the 2' corners might be easier to set the liner. So .... royal lists the corner options of the pool I am considering as 3" diagonal, 6" radius and 2' radius. Should I...

Called my local supplier about some stone material ... asked for #57 but they do not carry anything specifically called that. They do carry #8 (described as 1/2" - 1 1/4" crushed limestone) and #5 (described as 3/4" - 1 1/4" crushed limestone). Trying to get a feel of how much stone would be...

I have been talking to every local pool builder I can find and have come to the conclusion that I am going to have to build myself in order to get the pool I want for the price I can afford to pay. I have been looking at Royal pools and have just about settled on a 20x40 inground with the under...
