My pool is 5 months old, I have noticed that the walls in the spa appear to be staining a light brown, the seats and floor are still pure white. I have also noticed this color has taken hold of my main pump basket as well as the polaris bag. What could this be and any suggestions? Thanks

My pool issues have been well documented but I still have one issue that remains. When the PB completed my pool, they filled it up and came back in 10 days to add salt. During this time I brushed twice daily, sometimes more. During this time the pool water was not treated and began to scale. I...

I have not added salt to the pool in 2 weeks and the salt level keeps creeping up. I was at a steady 3000 to 3100 daily, I did not check salt in 2 says and now this morning I am up to 3500. How can the salt level rise without added salt? Confused I am.

As we all know it has been a really hot summer. Not a great time to roll out a new pool. It can get like a giant spa. I have been airating (sp) nightly which bring my tem down to 86 or 87. But I turn the airators off at about 8 am before the sun hits them. Do you that use this method to cool...

My pool will be full in about 2 hours. I plan on doing the following, please let me you if you think this is the right approach. Suggestions appreciated! 1. Start pump 2. Brush pool 3. Put 6 bags of salt in the pool ( this is what the PB did after 10 days of running the pool with chlorine) 4...

Pool being emptied now, need help for refill Okay so I am having the pool emptied so they can polish the plaster. They told me it is rough because we did not brush it, that is absolutly wrong. We brushed it for days. The problem is they walked away and failed to balance the chemicals, and or...

This is my 3rd pool build, and it is the smallest of the 3. My yard is a bit smaller than the other 2 but for some reason the wife and I got stuck on a design idea and a few $$$$ and decided not to make the pool as big as we should have. If you are planning on building a pool, do not allow a few...

So, if you call before you put in a pool and request a new water meter, have it installed by a city approved contractor, have it inspected and pay for a permit, the City will not charge you for sewage. I did not Current Charges WATER CHARGE 308.29 SEWER CHARGE 316.58 Total Amount Due...

When the pool was filled with water the bottom seemed smooth in about 50 of the surface, it now is getting worse and is not smooth in almost every area. I have swept the bottom of the pool numerous times daily since it was filled, but again it is getting worse. Any idea why the plaster would go...

Almost everyday I find a build up of sand and or dirt under 2 returns that are over my stairs. One of the returns also gurgles and spits a few air bubbles. Does this sound like a leak?

Do you all think I should have the idiot fix the following or leave them because he will probably make something else worse. Equipment pad - when shopping we were shown a pool built by the PB we choose, the pool had a really big pad. My other pool had a small one and I hated working on it. When...

Well my pool is done, and today I get a text from the PB telling me we need to schedule for a final inspection and that I need a pool alarm. This is the first time I have heard anything about a pool alarm. I asked the guy what kind and he for some reason is unable to tell me what kind. Meaning...

My thread "nightmare" has taken a new turn. I can't seem to find out the size of brick that is typically used for coping. The bond beam is 12 and the builder is going to use 8 inch bullnose. Is this standard? Thanks

I have no idea why the company I am using is in such a hurry but so far these are the issues we are facing ( and those we have encountered) Signed the contract and told them the day I would have my tree guys out to cut down 3 trees. So the pool company comes and sprays the outline a day BEFORE...

This will be our 3rd pool build and it's not turning out how I had thought. Sales people are driving me nuts. 20 years ago with my first pool I did not have so many choices and options. Dig, gunite, plaster fill it up and swim. Now salt vs chlorine, multi speed pumps vs single speed pumps...
