So, its been a year since my install (roughly) and my pavers are a mess. Edges are cracking or disintegrating, large chunks are capping off, etc. I had the paver supplier out and they are pointing fingers at the installer and general contractor. Anyway, I need to get involved. Is there...

So I have a 22,000 pool and my experience with the pool contractor has been pretty bad. Of course, I have been trained on nothing. I have an Easy Touch System, Intellichem Chemical Controller, PH Controller with 4 gallon tank, ozonator, intellichlor salt water generator. My readings are: PH...

So, how concerned should I be? The pool was plastered and the filling started Tuesday 6-18. The pool company is brushing daily, multiple times at the beginning, but they have not put the equipment in yet, so no running water/filtration. Thoughts?

So, looking at adding an outdoor island near a new pool. I already have a covered patio with Napolean Grill and an electric stainless smoker (best investment ever!). Looking at adding an area with another grill, stainless ice cooler (type you add ice and put beers/drinks in for the afternoon)...

Hi, I am putting most of my pumps/equipment in an underground utility closet attached to a bathroom. I am looking for a wireless water sensor system to detect leaks and if something happens to my system that begins to flood the room. I would love something that is wireless that would call or...

Anyone have an APC cover? Looks like my pool company "owns" the APC dealership in the SLC area. He promises very short service times, which is great. Looking at the book, there a bunch of colors. Do these fade in the sun overtime? Is there logic to choose one color over another? Thanks, Jim

My last bid came in at $74K, makes me feel much better :-) It is a 16' x 44' pool (with 8' x 16' being a 10" deep tanning ledge), the pool is a play pool design, so no deep end. -Building permit -Excavation and removal of spoils -16’ x 44’ steel reinforced gunite pool shell according to...

I have my design out to bid to 3 companies in the Salt Lake City area - pretty nervous. There is not enough pools/competition in the area. Attached a picture, the drawings are actually 3 pages, but I deleted information off the first page so it would be small enough to attach. Wish me luck!

I am planning on installing a pool next Spring. Was looking into fiberglass, but now leaning towards a gunite pool. A friend used a local engineering firm to develop the plans (all the details, pipe sizes, locations, pump sizes, etc.), they would help me bid to the 4 or 5 local installers, do...

I have a limited yard and have decided to move forward with a fiberglass pool - most likely Trilogy Regulus with tanning deck on one side. Given the limitation on fenced in yard, I am planning on doing the following: I have a walkout from my basement. Once you open the door there are (guess...

So we have decided to put a pool in next year, I have been reading a lot and it looks like a fiberglass pool is the way to go for us. I plan on doing the following: Bugging a couple friends who own pools on advice on their systems (some have moved a couple times with new pools in each house)...
