Just moved to a new house with a pool. Iv'e noticed when the pump first turns on it appears that a blast of De comes out of the jets. It only happens at start-up for a few seconds and then stops? Im assuming its DE. If there were a rip in the filter wouldn't it spray DE all the time when running???

Still waiting for my Pb to come back and install the tile on my viking inground. Had a salesman here today for cover estimate and said he's never seen a fiberglass pool that the tiles did not come off of. Anyone have any experience with this??

Love my new pool (viking 16x35 fiberglass) and now it's time to close for the winter. Investigating safety cover installs. My Pb wants $2400 to install a cover. Is that reasonable? Seems like a lot.

About to have my pool installed (Fiberglass 16 x 35 w/ 4' concrete pereimeter). PB wants to come back in the fall and install a safety cover for an additional $2,400. Does this seem expensive? and why not install the attachment points when the concrete is poured??

Getting close to signing with the PB. The pool will be IG Viking fiberglass 16x35. PB wanted to go with a filter cartridge, I felt more comfortable with a DE system so he suggested a Hayward 48, also going with Goldline SWCG and 1.5 hp tristar pump. Does this setup sound about right for this pool???

I'm about to sign a contract for a Viking fiberglass, 16x35. We're considering a SWCG, and my PB wants to sell us a cartidge filter. I'm not familiar witht these, I'm used to DE. How do the cartidge filters work? Are they better than DE?
