You have a fair point, I dont think we will have any issues with the actual labor but I guess I am just wondering if all the bends the current path takes is necessary or not. Would be less to fix down the road if not!

So we are going to get this project done finally. When it rains it pours- more joints are showing leaks now so unless the area is perfect I want to replace as many sections as I can. I did want to ask about how the pipes would work on the Chlorinator side. Can we just install a long pipe with...

Just to clarify which of the 3 leaks can I try that epoxy fix at? It sounded like you were saying I can do it with the joint that is attached to the pump on the pressure side but since you mentioned to replumb as well I wanted to be sure. It would be nice to patch up the leaks and then leave the...

Happy new year TFP! I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can jump into my resurfaced pool! I have to still run the pump more than usual since its still curing (It was done on 12/5 and they did an additional acid wash on 12/28) but I want to at least have it all planned out to get it...

Yeah I certainly hope its okay to patch it for now. I have handled the majority of the black algae on my walls but with the plaster being so rough in those areas I don't think I can realistically eradicate it without an acid bath which for obvious reasons I want to avoid. Luckily my inlaws...

Oh ok cool thanks kimkats! I saw someone tag someone else to help with an issue and I wanted to make sure it actually worked that way before I ever used it.

I have vacation next week so I will have some time for some free estimates. This is my first house so we have lots of expenses (just repiped the house today). I assume all replastering services are for the entire pool? Is patching these spots fine if I just want to keep water from getting to the...

Thanks I appreciate the input. I did reach out to the previous owner (2015-2020) and they didn't do any re-plastering themselves and were aware it could use one. A bit stressful to think about but at least I have an idea of whats going on there.

The pool was made in '89. Not sure if it ever got re-plastered- bought the house a few months ago so I am not too sure if I can figure out those types of mysteries. Those spots are more depressed than the other spots where the plaster is eroding. Been SLAMing in full earnest for 3-4 days and my...

I have not been able to figure out what these spots are. They are all in pits in the plaster near the water line. Didn't react to vitamin C or my SLAMing over the last few days. I have rubbed trichlor on it in the past and nothing seemed to change. The spots feel slightly smoother than the...

Thanks guinness! Its relieving to know I am not breaking code at the very least.

Yeah I saw some language for south florida counties about it and that whole ordeal. Couldn't find anything specific about Orange County. Right now I am just going to stick with 120v because frankly I wasnt going to be using it all that much anyway. Anything is safer than the non-operating one at...

Double post my bad

I did buy the pool light but I got a call from the merchant asking if I was sure about the 120 volt since they said most lights installed in Florida are 12V. How do I know if its 120V or 12V for sure? I called them back just to put the order on hold til I confirm myself. I don't see a...

Yeah I looked into the light fixture replacement a few days ago. Luckily we only have this one light and another cable going to a on/off switch in our junction box so it shouldn't be too hard.

so gunite showing would look like more grey concrete-esque? The E-Z Patch is just for the tile grout right? Or can it be used to patch up some of the worn plaster?

Oh ok so I can save money if I plan to do an LED upgrade kit by buying the 300 watt fixture as opposed to the 500 watt fixture?

I haven't earnestly done one yet. Tomorrow will be the first time I can do it before the sun comes out because I usually wake up when the sun comes out already but I am going to bet on no. Still have black algae caps (I think...) on my walls. The only green algae I found were on these cracks and...

As I work on finding places where algae (black or otherwise) is growing for my newly acquired pool, I looked closer at the two cracks my pool has. I am not as concerned for the appearance as I am for any potential structural issues and beds for algae to grow. What options do I have for...
