Hello- Have had our pool for about 6 months, filter pressure is high after cleaning, have had some calcium scaling, which could contribute. Plan to soak in diluted acid but also want to get a second filter as backup, and to confirm higher pressure is not due to other issues. We have a Jandy...

We have a newer inground pebble Gunite pool that just got finished in September. Our pool builder was out two days ago finishing up punch out items and finally took a look at some staining that had been on the plaster since start up. I tested the water today and the pH was 6.2! I’ve been...

We are at about week 3 since starting our in-ground pebble plaster pool. We’ve been reading a lot about maintaining proper levels during the first month, brushing daily, and adding acid and liquid chlorine as needed. Using the Taylor test kit. From what we understand pH will tend to rise so...

Sorry if this is a dumb question. PB started up our pool equipment last week and hasn’t shown us how to operate anything besides the bubbler and skimmer valves. We have a 2.7 HP VS Pump. The PB doesn’t have anyone to set up automation, so it will be another 2 weeks before someone they contracted...

Pool builder has been terrible about communication and it continues. We are on a well and told them we wanted to coordinate with a water delivery service for our 12,000 gallon gunite pool. They strung us along with plaster dates and eventually told us to cancel the water trucks until they get a...

Nearing the end of our 12 month 🙄 build. The plumbers just set the equipment today. We have a 12k gallon gunite pool with spa. I think they are still missing the spa blower, but can you experts take a look and let me know if anything looks off? At this point, I don’t have a ton of confidence in...

Nearing the end of our 12 month build. We have a raised spa with ledgerstone and travertine pavers. They put in the stone and waterline tile first and just finished the pavers this week. I think the stone work could have been better (you can tell they are just square panels vs interlocking), but...

Hello- Our permit/contract documents state we would be getting a 140k BTU electric heater by Jandy, model 3000T. Our pool will be just under 12,000 gallons with depth of 3-5ft. The equipment got delivered today and the heater is a Jandy 3000R. The box says it's 130K BTU. From what I can tell...

Hello. We are getting a shot Crete pool and had the shell shot back in February. When they were shooting the pool he told us they would come back and create a form for the table and tie it into the rebar and then pour the concrete in. Everything else is progressing, but they have not come back...

In the middle of a in ground pool build. They quoted us 8-9 months from signing, with 3 months due to others being in front of us and permitting. Seems to be moving on the right pace so far. We have a shell, plumbing, and pregrade complete, with some tile and coping work in progress. Our draw...

We are in the middle of our pool build and are planning for our “grand opening” party. From signing to completion, the whole process will be about 9 months, so we’ve joked we’re having a “pool baby”! We are a couple who won’t be having any kids, but we’ve been to enough of our friend’s baby...

Trying to decide on PB for 35 x 14 pool (3.5-5’ slope with 72sf sun shelf if that matters) Had a meeting today with one of final 2… was going over any last questions and asked if cartridge filter size should be larger than 200sf (based on some things I’ve read on this site). PB (who uses...

Within a week of deciding on our pool builder. Wanted to run our design and specs by this forum to make sure we aren't missing anything in our quotes. Looking at spending just north of $100k all in, so prefer not to have any unexpected surprise costs! Footprint is going to be about 19.5'x38'...

New here, just getting started on the design of our pool. We are 30-40yrs old, no kids and would like the space mostly for entertaining, relaxing at night/weekends, and potentially exercise as we get older. We may have a few kids over from time to time, but mostly adults using for socializing...
