    Outdoor kitchen build

    Love your work! Looks amazing. I built mine outside a few years ago and because we don't have the moisture issue you do, I used metal framing and a rock facia to match the pool

    How soon after filling pool can you use it?

    Our local Walmart, Home Depot and Lowes all carry most of the chemicals you need, so if those are near you you might want to look in their pool supply sections. At Walmart it is in their garden area.

    Please critique my iron staining plan of attack

    Is the staining appearing in little spots or just a general stain? Our pool started having a small brown stain in one spot about 6" under the surface. Our local pro suggested draining some of the water and saturating the spot with muriatic acid. He said if the spot disappears it is an iron...

    Intellitouch w/solar question

    I have a Pentair Intellitouch i7+3 load center and a wired indoor control panel. My solar sensor stopped working, so I recently replaced it. (I figured that out by the fact that the solar valve was constantly opening and closing) Now the system won't turn the valve on when it is appropriate. I...

    Any recommendations on type or size of trash pump for draining a pool?

    I use this same pump from HF. I have such hard water we have to partially drain every few years, so it comes in handy. I made a 1" connector with PVC pipe about 3' long then a connector to a garden hose. I found that connecting a garden hose directly to the pump tended to interfere with the...
