Like I said...I am no expert!! I would be curious for someone who is to look at my wiring (it's on my build string) and let me know what electrical codes are being violated so I may correct it in the future. So much for city inspectors on catching it! The value actuator is a typical pentair for...

Looks great! Congrats!! Those holly trees will grow fast making the backyard even better!

No expert by any means, but I have four different set of lights (pool, spa, bubblers and sheers) all controlled independently off of one transformer (now the transformer needs to be sized right of course, I believe mine is a 300w). I can't tell you the details on the wiring, but each set is...

Great layout, it will be a fun pool! Couple of things: 1. on your tanning ledge, if you plan on having ledge lounger chairs in the pool, facing the water per the renderings, the current layout of your bubblers (construction photos) may inhibit this (i.e. they are side by side vs. parallel to...

I have a very similar set up to what you describe. I have the pool, spa, bubblers and sheer lights all separate, so it takes 4 of the available relays. I will say that after a year, we almost 100% turn on all the lights on at the same time, so in theory all the lights could be on one relay...

Well as a fellow selector of Lunada Bay tile for our pool, I can emphasize. We had a lot of problems with tiles coming off at the raised spa (30 ish tiles), to the builder's credit, they redid all of it at the expense. From my experiences with this tile, installation prep (i.e. waterproofing...

Yeah!! Pump is fixed, 3rd trip out to repair, seems they replaced the motor or the "dry" side, works as it should, much more quieter again. I still don't know what exactly was wrong, just happy it's fixed and was covered under warranty.

So two trips from the Pentair warranty claim have resulted in....there was some glue from the fitting that got into the impeller...they disassembled the impeller, cleaned the glue out, put it back together and....same sound from the pump, I think they were going toward water chemistry until I...

Welcome to the forum! Your design looks great and will be an amazing project! We recently finished a build, so I am no expert, but offer the following; 1. Think about how the sun moves across your backyard and how you will provide shade, as you know, it's hot in the summer, sometimes I think how...

Heater is working properly, no issues when heating up the hot tub. I think I have inserted some pictures during the build that shows more of the equipment pad and layout. No soot to speak of, thanks for sending the video, I got $10 it's the fan...I think. Worst part is getting off the...

It's on the pump sides and back.

So my filter pump started to make a whining noise a couple of days ago, the pump (011056) still "works" and will still change speeds, etc. I noticed black film around the motor area, perhaps it's the fan on the motor or? The pump is less than a year old. Normally I run it about 12 hours/day...

The company that did our design/pool wanted to have a photoshoot so they could use it for adverstiving/social media, etc. Sort of a "but my yard is to small to have a nice pool and outdoor area".....oh is it too small? Good luck to all those building away...you will finish! Also getting my...

Good luck on your build, your design looks great! My thoughts on bubblers, we have a tanning ledge as well with two LED bubblers, we barley turn them on, for one they are loud and two they create a lot of wave motion in the pool. Would I get them again...maybe. We do however use our 3 - 18"...

Similar issue with mounting, except mine was a fence (thinking was if I ever had to replace the fence...someday), they installed a 4x4 post into the ground and mounted the automation panel, wireless trans. and lighting transformer to it. I don't have great pics of it, this was about the best I...

Great, will be curious to see what it looks like as we also went with marble for the coping!

We used Slate Blue Pebble Sheen, you can look at my build if you are interested to see in person, send me a DM.

Hahaha...although we have some privacy (for our neighborhood) there will be no skinny dipping!!

It will be used to hang string lights between that structure and the pergola, underneath the string lights will be our dining set (when we pick one out). I need to get some aluminum box tube at the vertical locations to make it a little more rigid, I liked how the stained cedar looked, so I just...
