Thanks, guys. I went out for the great contemplation and I really do think I have to do that line cutting and bring these pipes up above ground level to start working with this system. Going up and around the other line attached to the heater is not really workable since then I'd block the...

Hi everyone. Non-expert here hoping to install the RJ-60+ on my ~45,000 gal pool and could really use some help. I've already bought the unit and I did some measurements and found that I don't have enough linear space at present on the return line to do a linear installation (I have 14" linear...

Thank you. I’d appreciate if you can explain a little more about why you think it is the bond beam- is the reasoning that the mortar of coping only generally cracks when the underlying structure does? And the tile area would not typically connect to the coping crack if not bond beam also...

So I gather you’re talking about the horizontal crack behind the tile right? So this is not normal? What would I have caused this separation? Is it the lack of expansion joint separation and sealant? That crack in the coping grout, perhaps due to the lack of expansion joint? Something else? Do I...

Hi TFPers. ‘Tis the season to figure out what projects we need to do on the pool. Owned the home now two years, noticed our first hard freeze winter in 2020- 2021 resulted in some tiles falling off in two spots. After reading here it seems really our expansion gap was not proper- contained...

Okay so I’ll just paint it and when it stops being a sturdy board I’ll put a jacuzzi there. 😂 Seriously, this conversation was helpful to get reality to sink in, so thanks.

Yes, the kids love it and I have a 10 foot deep diving pool. I know, we pay a lot for insurance and only one insurer will take us. Turns out another insurer would have taken us if the board were not so high. So, I’d be open to a lower version.

It’s pretty clear the part that holds the board and rail needs to go, but it’s all attached to that perfectly fine base by a single weld, so..

The part where the column meets the flat base for the board is welded together. Anyone ever have that weld cut and have something new re-welded? That columnar base is not rusted, for whatever reason maybe they used different metal there.

Thank you so much for your comment. It is extremely stable despite the rust, nothing is loose at all. I do not know when the board itself was replaced but that piece seems to be in good repair with all of the antislip and no signs of wear so I assume it is not old. Any comments/experience on...

Guys, saddest thing ever, this diving board base is just rusting away. Not sure how old it is, we bought the home 2 years ago and it was obviously an issue painted over. Well that underlying issue is coming through. So, few questions, This is a meter high board mounted directly into the...

Hi all, took us awhile but just wanted to report we ended up with the Raypak 406A gas heater and we are happy with the heating results. We did install a solar cover with the Rocky’s reel, and we use it overnight.

Thanks. In what quantity, approximately, would this do harm? If I can just use a handful of crystals to spot clean with no impact then it’s a no brainer, but if even small quantities do harm I’ll pass on cleaning. Thanks!

Thanks, everyone. Do you think it’s worth buying sulfamic acid crystals and diving to scrub these off? Will that do any harm? That stuff took the stain out in just a couple wipes. I definitely am not treating the water body. btw a hair band is totally possible. Maybe it started on the front...

I did Jacks magic test kits and the sulfamic acid (#2) works immediately. The #1 didn’t do anything at all. From this info and the photos do you think this is copper staining? I know the prior owners used the chlorine tabs. I have been here a year and only use liquid chlorine, muriatic acid and...

Thanks, will grab some tablets and do that. Any idea where this might be coming from? Odd the circles. I can grab an iron test to see if I can get a read on the water. I think there is a rusting fitting at the pump. I just can’t think why these would all be circular! ??

Hi everyone! please see above the photos with one deep in the pool and one on the stairs. My ugly feet are included as a size reference, these stains are all circular and about 1.25” diameter. They are all just a circle outline. There are more in the deep end, two are much worse. Any ideas? All...
