    Poolcrete OK to Leave Exposed To Weather For Winter?

    Thanks @ajw22 for flagging this for me. @jimmythegreek I am not sure how common it is or not to build from cinderblock. I think many do use the pre-made panels and I would guess that the vinyl liner builders are a 50/50 mix of prebuilt panels vs. other version of the wall. The pool builder...

    Hi Everyone, We are in the process of finishing an inground vinyl liner pool. We are handling many of the projects ourselves like the landscaping, the patio, equipment shed, and pergola. Our PB is behind schedule by a few months and while they have finished the excavation, the installation...

    Thanks for that comment. I have been debating that question and agree that the inconvenience of them being felt in the floor might be more than the benefit of having the bubbler.

    New Pool from DIY Kit

    Thanks for your comments and I hope the pool install is going well other than the water table issue. We have clay with a few small rocks. My plan is to use a drain system to remove water below the floor material as demonstrated in this video if we encounter water. How did you address the...

    Thanks Jim, I am not sure on the lights either but will give it some thought. I don’t know if the colored lights are an upgrade that people really use or just sounds like something we should like. Thanks for checking out that equipment list for me.

    Thanks Kim, I have not given much thought to the valves. I hope to have a lot of time to investigate valves and other details during the time my kit is shipping. For the equipment pad I read a few posts on here about the ideal pad and I am planning about a 4’x10’ pad with a enclosure of some...
