I thought I'd be clever with my pool build and I added a couple of Waterway Power Storm jets to each side of my pool steps (8' "sit n step"). I plumbed it using 1.5" PVC to back of the steps, then used a waterway 4 way manifold (2 outlets capped) and 3/4" flex PVC to feed each jet. When I...

We built a polymer walled pool last year (DIY) and got to the point of installing the liner, filling it to about 2/3, and backfilling. Then it was covered for the winter. Last Fall, I watched a video from "Swimming Pool Steve" where he mentioned liner coping failure on some polymer wall pools...

The SP32900VSP TriStar VS pump can be wired, per the label, for 240/230/115V, with corresponding Amp draw of 7.0/7.4/7.2, so very little amp difference between 120 and 240V. I have 12-3 going into the pool shed with each hot on separate breakers and opposing "phases" (not the right term...

Miserable story - I hired a local "pool contractor" to do the pool floor. I usually do pretty much everything myself but didn't want the hassle. Big mistake! The "pool contractor" didn't take a single measurement, didn't run a single string line, and royally f'ed up just about everything...

Greetings! I'm in the midst of a largely DIY inground pool build - 36x18' rectangle with 90 degree corners and using polymer walls. Will be getting a contractor to pour the collar next week so just double checking everything. I'm off just under 1" corner to corner - would need to shift by...
