If I wanted to check the pressure at the drain plug, what pressure gauge would you recommend?

Yes it did. Since my original post, I opened the pump basket again and let the pump prime itself. I would say the flow readings are better now, but still off from before. After reading some other posts, it sounds like the flow reading on these pumps aren't all that accurate. Setting my RPMs to...

That's a good point Allen. My PB recommended switching off the CB to ensure pump doesn't kick on. I don't do it often, maybe once or twice a month, but that's a good point that it is unnecessary wear and tear.

I have a Pentair IntelliFloXF VSF Pump (022056) that was installed about 4 months back for a new pool build. Since start up, I have always used the flow reading and found it to be accurate. Today, I decided to clean the pump's filter basket by flipping the breaker, cleaning the basket, and...

That's right! We are going to tile the entire back wall. And we will have black landscaping rock along the backside of the pool. Maybe we can add grout sealer to help prevent it from showing dirt? I added a picture showing the tile wall.

Thanks for all the responses! It looks like everyone is picking the Silver Shadow. I think this was also my first pick, but I was worried the white grout would be harder to keep clean. Glad to hear from @mknauss that it is actually less maintenance for my area! Yes - We are doing a cantilevered...

Hello! We have selected our tile (Artistry in Mosaics GG82348B18), but now we need to choose a grout color. As far as our other selections, we are doing PebbleSheen Blue Surf with an Ipe deck (no coping). We have narrowed the grout down to 4 different Laticrete options: 42 Platinum 53 Twilight...

Per our contract, we are supposed to receive a Pebble Sheen finish for our new pool. While talking to our PB, they said that the Pebble Tec installer for our area has a considerable backlog which could result in a long delay. The PB is suggesting we consider a Finest Finish product instead since...

Wow - Thank you everyone for the quick replies and excellent feedback! You’ve got an awesome community that I’ve already learned so much from. Regarding the size… Yes, I know the pool is on the smaller size. The original plan was to purchase a swim spa, but we decided to upgrade and go for the...

Hi everyone, We are getting ready to sign the contract for our new in ground pool in Austin, TX. Pool is a bit on the smaller size (15' x 20', ~8000G) to keep enough yard space for the kiddos. The PB is strongly recommending the UV + Ozone but lots of reading on TFP has me leaning towards SWG...
