I wasn't here when the base went in, only saw it after it was compacted (pretty sure it was compacted to 95% of what they thought was "good"). The settling I think has only been noticed by me. Not very much at all, but slightly around the poured in place coping, skimmer box. Pool deck is not...

I just saw this post and started reading through your build post, beautiful yard/pool. We had the company doing our re-plaster/plumbing etc. install concrete pavers. Our old concrete was a mess. Initially, they weren't going to put down the membrane but I insisted on it, because we have a...

Check out this pump at the link below. Don't know anyone who has one yet though. http://www.pentairpool.com/products/pumps-inground-supermax-vs-variable-speed-pump-463.htm

Hey, I was just speaking with a Vendor we use at work and he mentioned these "easy i/o" controllers he is using and building programs for. Believe he mentioned the "workbench" is internal to the controller as well. Check out the website. Easyio Internet based Bacnet, Sedona, Modbus.....I...

I've had the same thing happen with my pump a few times over the last couple of years. Each time it has self-corrected with a simple cycle of the power. I did see the thread you mentioned as well and anticipate having to open my panel up in the near future for a look.

I'm not really sure what the purpose for the stat is in your situation. I do refrigeration and use these all the time L36-931 | Johnson Controls | A19ABC-24C | Johnstone Supply If you suspect this stat as being your problem, why not just jump it out and see if it corrects your timer/pump issue?

Ours was 1-1/2" at well over 20k gallons. We remodeled, shallowed pool to 16K play pool and went with 2" plumbing. Very happy with the versatility I have now in combination with the intelliflo pump and larger 60sf de filter.

Heynow! I was locked out of my old Email acct. and forgot my password for this forum :brickwall: as I haven't been here in probably a year. I previously was "ColdAirGuy", and had a little bit of post history and a sweet "Lifetime Supporter" badge :sad: Anyway, Just wondering if it's at all...

Don't have any suggestions, but just wanted to say I have the same tile and love it. Mastertile

I asked my PB about this and said it's generally a waste of time and money to require a crush test with shotcrete and most inspectors in different cities never ask for a crush test. He left me a bucket's worth just in case.

It went just fine actually. I took the bucket of shotcrete to a testing facility near my house and they cored 4 samples from it. The engineering spec'd that it had to meet or exceed the strength designated at 28 days. I convinced them to do it at 4 days on one sample and it easily passed. All...

I never got around to posting the final pictures for our remodel. Yesterday we had our first pool/Birthday party for my little munchkin. It all went well, although I did find food in the pool this morning :suspect: and my Chlorine at 0, to be expected with 15 kids I suppose, oh and grilled...

My Pour in place coping was done a few months ago but the control joints go around the curve. I still have "micro cracks" here and there like yours. Like you, I was at work when they did the coping so didn't witness their method.

Wow what a bummer. I personally, after just having gone through the rehab process for the first time would be leery of the first option and whether or not the new bonded plaster finish would last. I would also be concerned with how it would look where it's "feathered" at the tile line, although...

In re-doing my pool recently I had the main drain split into two. My PB did this automatically, and I figured it was mandatory from what i've read. When the inspector came to give us the pre-plaster inspection he said, "oh it's good to split them". I said isn't it the law? His reply was that...

We have a gunite pool that we just removed the diving board from and shallowed out a few feet. You could always go with the deep end and do the same if you don't dive much after all is said and done. It's easier to remodel and make it shallower than the other way around. For us, the main...

Another place you can check out for a replacement in SoCal is AAA motors. They have identified some really old, random OEM stuff before I have even reached the counter.

Don't feel bad. We had shotcrete done a couple of weeks ago and they didn't mention anything about the wetting process with that. Glad I have this place to know how things are supposed to be done.

Re: Advice on remodel consideration/ additions...pics inside So good news, plaster crew is all done and the water is flowing. So the plaster crew attempted to run a poly line through and then a fish tape to install my pool light and it's either getting stuck or there is an obstruction right...

Re: Advice on remodel consideration/ additions...*Updated Pi I have a crew here today to finally get the plaster (white) on this pool so we will be filling by the end of the day! :mrgreen: Here are some updated pictures of the rebar work, and the eventual shotcrete done a couple of weeks...

Re: Muriatic acid concentrations: Heads up, buyer beware, e Hmm...I just purchased the case with the new design last week. I have an old box in the garage still...I'm going to compare them. Thanks for the heads up.

That looks like the stuff I used for the capstone on my paver seating wall. Think the masonry adhesive I used was made my "Dap". I had one or two pop off over the first week, so I used it liberally and have never had another problem. An epoxy like stated above is probably the best bet for your...

Re: Advice on remodel consideration/ additions...pics inside So i'm having a difficult time getting the Contractor back to my house to plaster my pool. Pretty frustrated since he has part of my money for the plaster work already, so I can't just ditch him. In any event he called me today and...

So we are having our pool redone and I have a question with regards to the shotcrete process during a remodel or new build. So we had our shotcrete done yesterday (thursday) and the PB said he's planning to plaster on Tuesday. A city inspector showed up today while I was at work and told my...

Re: New Pool Build in Central Texas because of Big Green Egg First off awesome yard and awesome Tree! But man, your inspector sounds harsh. You must have ticked your inspector off like I must have mine. Oh well, tell him he isn't invited to the first BBQ.

Re: Advice on remodel consideration/ additions...pics inside Thanks...I'm sure we aren't the first of last. :cheers:

Re: Advice on remodel consideration/ additions...pics inside Dang!!! All of this money and effort....if I had only known. HAHAHA. Actually I didn't know that, but it's good to know in the future...I guess. We actually really wanted more usable area for parties and stuff. We are hoping...

Re: Advice on remodel consideration/ additions...pics inside Believe it or not my swimming pool still isn't done. The City I live in has been giving me such a hard time with things. It's like they are pulling things out of their Rear for how they wan't it done. We finally did shotcrete...

I've also seen people mention digging a well near the pull and pumping the water from there, I imagine that could be costly and a mess.

Hey thanks, no sorry.....it's a poor in place concrete coping. The Pavers are Angelus tumbled, I forget the color combination.
