    Main drain or no main drain....that is the question

    I went with the dual main drains and it is nice being able to sweep the fine dirt into the drains. I had the pb plum it with a home run to the pad and I have a three way valve on it so I can revers the flow and make it a return for heating.

    120v pool light conduit

    Conduit is cheap, why not run a second conduit for the landscape lighting.

    Faux Indoor Pool - Renovation Recommendations

    Looks like it could be a cool space and I like the idea of opening it up. Demoing the existing decking would not be a fun job but that price still seems steep. I can see from the contractors point of view of not really wanting the job but that’s the price they’d do it for. The existing concrete...

    18 x 36 inground vinyl liner build in Pa

    They are spaced evenly, so a light every 9’. Im happy with how they look. I’m not familiar with the Kelo LED lights but if they are a similar wattage I’m sure 3 would be good spaced along a 36’ length. I liked the idea of smaller lights because they are less visible in the daytime when they are...

    18 x 36 inground vinyl liner build in Pa

    Ehh I wasn’t too upset about it. I saved $215 and got to see what my well water does to the pool. Now I know what to expect when we open the pool every year. I bought a whole house filter and fittings to hook it up to the garden hose so that should catch all of the iron that’s oxidised if I have...

    18 x 36 inground vinyl liner build in Pa

    After lots of weather delays we are finally swimming. Everything went very well with the deck pour and the vermiculite. The plan was to fill the pool the whole way with truck water, which would have been 4 loads but somehow we only got 3 loads and the water hauler was booked up and couldn’t...

    Inground 5" Niche Liner Light Gasket needed

    If you don’t find one you could always make one. Just get suitable gasket material and use the old one as a template.

    18 x 36 inground vinyl liner build in Pa

    I’ve been researching this project for about the last 3 years and this forum has been very useful so I thought I would share our build. We are building a steel wall 18 x 36 rectangle with 6” radius corners. It will be 3.5’ - 8’ deep with diving board and the steps are open top liner over steps...

    Having trouble finding a semi inground pool installer in Berks County PA

    We decided to hold off for a while and will most likely be doing a gunite pool.

    Having trouble finding a semi inground pool installer in Berks County PA

    I was looking to go this route but have since changed my mind. The ultimate pool by Fox was the best option I found, I'm near Harrisburg. I believe the bigger grecian was going to cost around 15k installed semi-inground. I think there is a Fox Pool of Lancaster and a York location also...
