I had it inspected and the pool guy finally admitted that it was the stabilizer that probably caused it. Yall were right AGAIN!!!!! Wow, thanks again for all your help. He agreed to replace the liner, and pay for the water and chemicals for no charge.

WOW! So the pool guy replaced the manifold to a 1 1/2 inch PVC and PRESTO!!!! They shoot higher than I ever thought! Wow, I can't thank all of you enough.

So now the pool builder wants to bring the "liner rep" out to our pool to look at it. I guess he is going to try and claim that it was a defect in the liner. Really? Im far from a pool professional, but I agree that it had something to do with all the chemicals. The pool builder said to me...

I will see about the pressure issue tomorrow and will post what I learn. Thanks again.

I just can't wait for this job to be over with. This issue, combinedwith the bleach spot I think his chemicals left in the bottom of my pool, is enough to drive anyone crazy!!! I posted a question about the bleach spot on this website and got great responses. I will definitely support this...

Also, what are reducers? Are they bad or good? Is it something I should have him change?

Hi Crabboy! Yes, thats what he is talking about doing. (Replacing the line that feeds the deckjets with a 1 1/2 inch PVC). When he built the pool, he first put a 1.5HP pump, so I guess he plumbed it with 1 1/2 inch PVC based on that? If we turn off the returns completely (and send all water...

Ok, I figured it ok. FOR PICTURES OF THE PLUMBING AND DECK JETS, see below I have a 30 inch filter, 2 HP Pentair and a separate booster pump that just runs the POlaris. The pool is a Roman "L", 43 inches long, 26 inches on the shallow wall, and 18 inches wide on the deep end, 10-foot...

does anyone know how to post pictures? I took pictures of the deck jets and the plumbing but dont know how to post them ?

He told us to "brush it around if you get tired of looking at it." WE brushed it probably every few hours (not thinking we needed to). We havent paid him his final draw, and dont plan to if this doesnt get corrected. So that makes sense re: the stabilizer. I was uncomfortable with all that...

(new to pool = April 12345) I lost the info for my first username so had to use this one.

WOw! Thanks for all these responses. I will get some pictures up shortly for yall. It does not run off a separate pump. To turn on the deck jets, (forgive me I am new to this pool stuff, so I will explain it the best I can), you have to turn this knob that slows down the jets in the pool...

HELP!!! Our pool is just about complete (construction). In adding the chemicals, the pool guy dumped a huge amount of what he said was salt, calcium and stabilizer to the deep end. It was a HUGE heap of chemicals. It stayed there for a day or two. (This was after he added shock a couple...
