    Booster pump failure - replace vs robot - what robot?

    I’m also wondering how to remove my booster pump and what to do with the return. Looks like I might give up on the PB460 and 280 cleaner for the Polaris Alpha IQ+ robot.

    Ok we’re coming up on a week tomorrow. I’m not sure how to tell how much longer to water the shell on this thing. Any pro tips?

    Thanks Kim. It's going to be a while till we plaster because now we have to build the house around the pool before we finish the pool up. So it will just be a gunite shell for a while. In the meantime is there anything I can do to make sure my gunite is well cared for and ready to accept...

    So I'm watering the gunite pool shell once or twice a day. Is there anything else I need to be doing for the gunite?

    Hey thanks I'm glad y'all like it! Laps are a big deal for me but I still wanted it to function for the family.

    Thanks for all the advice. I did the best I could on short time with the info, let's hope it is good enough that I don't end up having problems down the road. We plan on being in this house for a 25 or more years so fingers crossed.

    So is the rebound just the extra they cut out while shaping the structure? I ask because I might beat the pool builder to the site while those guys are working and I am wondering how do I identify if they are doing this.

    I wish I could be on site but I have to go to work. I might get to be there for an hour or so. What is the concern with rebound and trimmings? I'm getting super nervous about the whole thing.

    Good thought, thanks! We are pouring the equipment pad to be able to accommodate a chiller heat pump. This way if it turns the water is too hot then we will be adding that on. The shallow shelf will be in the shade all day except for an hour or so because of the house being built around the...

    Does anyone have a VersaFlo? This is something I am considering and wonder if it is worth the extra $$$ in savings and longevity.
