    Advice on balancing water during termite tenting

    We are getting our house tented for termites and our pool equipment sits right next to the house and I believe they plan on covering the equipment with the tent to have a good seal. Although the termite company didn't say the pool pumps needed to be turned off during tenting (I asked), the...

    narrow pool

    My pool is 10' at it's narrowest and bumps out to 12'. It's 30' long with another 7' at the end for the spa. So it's close to your dimensions you were thinking. I have a thread somewhere with more pictures.

    Startup Question

    I'm two weeks into my startup on a mini-stonescape finish. The guy that is doing the startup (hired by the PB) hasn't been around this week due to the holidays and I think the PH is really high right now (it's off the chart on the Taylor kit and read 8.6 at a pool supply store, though it did...

    Advice for Solar Blanket and Reel

    We are considering getting a solar blanket and reel but wanted to get some suggestions on how to work around some concerns we have. Our pool isn't a pure rectangle, part of the pool was 10 ft and part of it is 12 ft. We weren't sure if it was better cutting to shape and have the reel 12 ft...

    The Mini StoneScape Pebble went in, we filled the pool, and the PB did startup today! We did Aqua White with Abalone. We have the final inspection set for next week, one item we'd like the PB to fix (with the drains of course), and the final trash pickup. Both the PB and Startup guy said we...

    They installed 3 lights (they wired them to the box) but haven't actually put the lights into the junction box in the pool and seal them up. The lights are just sitting on the top of the pool with the wire running through the junction box in the pool all the way to the panel. I'm assuming...

    The equipment went in today and the inspection is tomorrow. At first I thought for some odd reason they replaced the PVC pipes with ABS pipes, but upon closer inspection it seems like they spray painted them. I think I read somewhere that was for UV protection. ?‍♂️ They wired the lights but...

    Thanks. We're excited to move on to the next phase. They did fix the pitch on the main pipes. They added channel drains which are unfortunately of a flat pitch - but I understood the reasoning of it given how they laid the pavers.

    The masonry guys are almost done. They have to finish up a small walkway path for pavers, add some stairs to our back retaining wall, and pour the pads for the equipment. Basically 3 people working 4 weeks 5 days each week. Our PB warned us this step would seem slow compared to the other...

    We noticed on our waterline where they applied the some material to level the border (after the waterproofing) there are hairline cracks. Should I be concerned about this? I was going to talk to my PB tomorrow.

    I was curious if the water proofing (Super Blockade) was suppose to cover the entire dam wall between the spa and pool , or just the waterline?

    Coping is basically complete and they are starting to level for tile. The grout/thinset around the water feature seems to have large gaps, I don't know how that gets filled in but I was going to ask the PB tomorrow.
