Hello All! As like most everyone else here, I've been navigating the freezing temps here in Central Oklahoma. All is well so far (no jinxing!). My pool is almost 7 years old. We have 2 valves that are part of our automation to switch between pool and spa and between the water returning to...

Good Evening all- hoping for some help and guidance on a mistake I made while balancing chemicals today. I leave my pool open year round here in OK and just add some shock occasionally during the winter so we can use the attached hottub. Our pool is a vinyl liner salt water pool at around 20,000...

Hello all! I've got an issue ( I think) with my freeze guard settings and was hoping for some help! I've got a Pentair Intelliflo 2 VST and its connected to Pentair Easytouch system. I'm in Oklahoma so we don't get a lot of really freezing weather, but today is an exception. I've been relying on...

Hello All! I've got a freeze protection question I was hoping to find some help with. I've done a search but with no success. I've got all Pentair equipment, variable speed pump and the Easytouch control system. Regarding freeze protection, I understand it kicks on at 36 degrees and alternates...

Hello All!! We have decided on a vinyl liner pool for our new house and would like to have a spill over spa attached. The builder recommended concrete but can also do the acrylic spa if we choose. There is about a $2,500 price difference. Does anyone have any insight as to which may be...

Hello all- I've been a member here since we completed our first pool a few years back. We built an inground gunite pool at our house that we love but it has come time to move to be closer to work. I expect we will be installing a pool at our new home and I am seriously considering vinyl to help...

Just had this 3 tier natural rock waterfall added to our existing pool and wanted to share. Very happy with the outcome!

Hello all- I was hoping maybe for some insight or tips regarding a small leak on some new plumbing on the return side of my system. I installed a new valve to split off my bubbler line in order to supply a waterfall that I am having built. Off the valve that splits the bubbler and return jets...

Hello- I am looking to potentially have a rock waterfall built onto my existing pool. Currently I have a 2 way valve ( I think) returning water to pool through the return jets and the 2 bubblers. The valve can be adjusted to raise, lower, or turn off the bubblers to my liking. Can that valve be...

Good Afternoon All! I am in need of some direction after some recent readings of my pool chemicals. To background, gunite pool, about 13000 gallons, I do have an inline chlorinator and I typically supplement with bleach. Currently my readings from the kit I bought on here reads: FC-12...

After owning our pool now for a couple of years, I am starting to wish we would have done some type of rock water feature during construction. We definitely have all the room we would ever need but at the time we just didn't have the budget. In online research I've ran across some of the...

I have another thread just below detailing the leak issues and priming issues I am having with a newly installed whisperflo pump. In my research on hear, I'm starting to think that I need a check valve installed to help keep water in the basket after the pump is shut off since the equipment is...

Hello all- I am having some issues with our pumping system and hoping to get some help. Our pool was built and finished around March 2014. The pump installed was the 1.5hp Whisperflo. We had several leaks through out the year and half with that pump, all coming from the bottom of the pump. Each...

Hello all- I am having some headscratching issues out at our inground pool and thought maybe someone could help. Our pool was built March of last year, since day one, after the pump kicked off, you could hear the water gurgling and leaving the pump basket. It always took a minute or so to prime...

Hello All- We have a year old new construction pool with the led intellebrite light. Our builder never advised us of the intellitouch system so all we have to control the light is a standard light switch. The light shows are numbered and I just flip the switch the same amount of times as the...

Another pool to be added to the slideshow. Ours was finished this spring. 15,000 gallon gunite with quartz finish.

Good Afternoon all! Thanks to this awesome site I have learned a bucket full! I have received my TF-100 test kit and gave it a whirl and here are my findings. It is about 83 here today in Oklahoma, water temp is still 65 or so. If I tested right my readings are: FC-1 CC-1 TC-2 CH-200 TA-170...

Good Afternoon All- I am a new owner of a gunite pool around 13K gallons. I have read a lot on here and am learning more and more daily. I can see that the Ultra Pure ozone system is not the most popular. My build already started prior to learning about it. I am going to go ahead and give it a...

Good evening all! I have been reading quite a bit on here and love all the useful info that everyone has shared on here! We are currently in the bid stage and ready to move forward once we find everything we like. We are looking at gunite free form pools and have a bid we would like some...
