    Question about repairing hard plumb without draining

    Where on the return though? Like I said it's an aqualuminator light. Is that easy to remove and plug? Or as you suggesting the plug go on the outside of the pool?

    Question about repairing hard plumb without draining

    So, I need to replace some of the hard PVC plumbing on my pool (long story don't ask :-) ) From my pool to the pump I have a ball valve so I can turn that off. Then I can put my filter in the closed position. But once I cut the bad piece of PVC out (the run from the heater to the return jet...

    Pool builder came out yesterday with the beautiful weather we had! He did all of the ground prep. The soil was still a little too wet to do the build however. He'll be back to put up the pool once we have 3-4 days in a row of dry weather. Check it out! Pool Build - Album on Imgur

    I have some good news! My pool has arrived and is currently in boxes in my garage!! How exciting. I'm obviously going to start getting anxious and pushing my builder to install ASAP. Does anyone have any recommendations of the best time to install the pool here in New England? At this point...

    That makes sense and is in line with what I was thinking. I'll assume he'll make me purchase the PVC, Valves etc... but he'll install them. I've seen all of these videos on youtube about why you don't want street elbows etc... As far as backwashing goes, I have looked into local...

    Thanks! Now for my next question, I know the obvious answer is "talk to the installer" but I'm just curious the thoughts here. I am paying the installer to have everything setup and he says he'll show me how to operate the pump etc... So am I to assume that he will be connecting the pump...

    The check has been cashed and the pool should be arriving this week or next! After the 18" of snow we got last week I know the install won't be happening any time soon so I'm spending plenty of time on here researching different things and getting excited! When the install happens is there...

    Our town says I have to be at least 10' off the property line, and with this plan that would not be an issue at all. Thanks so much for all the help! I'm getting excited.

    These are great suggestions thank you so much! And you are absolutely correct, they definitely tucked these houses in wherever they could! I like the idea of the social triangle and I was thinking similarly but a little different. If I were to keep the fire pit where it is now (and hopefully...

    Wow are you guys (and gals) serious? I honestly have been dying for someone to help me figure out where to put the darn thing haha. I think you convinced me that sand filter is the way to go. I want to add a deck but that probably won't be for another 2-4 years (unless that money tree I...
