Plaster poured yesterday. Said needed more time so they came back to keep working on it today and today started filling up with water. I’m seeing a ton of hairline cracks all over. They builders say it’s hairline and superficial and “you won’t see them once the pool is filled” (although I doubt...

We own my elderly mother’s home next door to us which has an inground liner pool (about 25K gallons, 9 ft deep end to 3.5 Ft shallow). The liner is shot, needs to be replaced—pool has been leaking there and likely a leak in one of the pipes too. We are finishing construction on a gunnite pool...

We are currently digging for our gunnite pool--just started today! I have been going back and forth with PB re: water depth of our sun shelf. They are suggesting 4" water depth. I feel like this is too small. I have settled on liking the idea of 6" water depth. The PB say that the bubblers...

This is my 2nd year of pool ownership since purchasing my mother's home for her (she lives a couple doors down and it came with a pool), but just discovered TFP last month, and fired my pool-guy and decided to maintain our pool myself. Pretty proud b/c in a couple weeks turned a green...
