    You may be better off using spray foam on the outside of the pool I would think it would work just not sure how good it would look :) Unless you built a big deck around it so it was covered That’s pretty much how they build standalone fiberglass spas And it works well Yours would just be a...

    104 is too hot Why would you want to get it that high You would not be able to sit in it very long I would bet it is getting hotter, maybe 105 and tripping the high limit tripping the unit off for safety I personally would not go above 100, I find 99 to be a perfect set point that allows me to...

    Pool removal

    Leave the pool and list the house for sale, find a home that has what you are looking for It will be way more cost effective Plus a home with a pool sells better than a home without, and way better than a home with one that had the pool filled in (that may actually reduce the value) Just my...
