If you had the opportunity to buy a 5-year old (Hayward Summit XL) heat pump still in the original box for a good deal - would you be concerned about anything? I'm wondering what happens when a heat pump just sits in someone's garage for 5 years having never been installed, through hot...

Thanks for the advice

I am told the standard cover would be the shape of the pool, since it's a fiberglass pool and they already make covers to match this model. The custom cover would be the same shape, however it would have the cutout for the slide.

We just built our pool this summer and we have an SR smith typhoon pool slide anchored in about 6-8" from the edge of the pool. It's the only thing that caused my pool company to measure for a custom cover. We're at the tail end of our season now and were originally supposed to close 4 days...

Thanks - I appreciate the recommendations on getting my own test kit. I will definitely go that route. Before today everything was in-line with their testing so there was no reason to question it. @mguzzy - I have not been shocking regularly, and I do not add chlorine - the SWG has been keeping...

Yesterday's test Today's second test

My water was perfectly balanced until a couple of weeks ago when it first started showing slightly elevated CC. My CYA was at 50 since I had opened my pool, and registered as such on every test. I just tested at the pool store again yesterday and it showed my CYA at 4 - and they told me to add...

My installer said he has 2 lights on his 16x40 (G2 saphire) and that they light up the whole pool. My concern was that they're not dimmable, so if they're too bright I think that will bother me and we won't be able to adjust. I'd rather be on the dimmer side personally. However you have the...

Hard to tell from still photos but the G2 was quite sparkly in the sun. I'm sure the G3 is gleaming but I'm glad we went with the G2 for the lighter Saphire color. Maybe if you go darker you will want G3.

Thanks @csconner I'll keep that in mind. They just placed mine today and will be doing the fill starting tomorrow. I'll double check that they support that ledge properly. @Millerm914 I'll post a pic or two of the shell here and then I'll start a build thread. We're going with stamped concrete...

My Fiji is being installed next week so I can take some pics of the color if you'd like. We opted for sapphire blue (g2). We have 3 lights being installed, two deck jets, a salt chlorinator, in floor cleaning system and a slide. I can provide more details on the equipment later I don't have them...

Thanks. Just curious what their price Sq ft. Is on the pavers? I checked out your pics and it looks great!

I have, it really doesn't bother me but I have a feeling the rest of the family might be a little more sensitive. I was exploring aggregate as I understood it to be a slightly more affordable option to stamped but I was surprised by the quote I received so I was wondering what others had...

Hi I'm building a pool this spring and it's time to pick out the patio. I'm looking at concrete, stamped and aggregate options. I was under the impression from various threads on here and elsewhere that aggregate prices would fall somewhere between brushed concrete and stamped however I got a...

Hi, I'm new to the site. We are installing a FG Viking Fiji model (15'x34' with a Saphire gelcoat) this upcoming spring. We added a SW chlorinator, Vantage in-floor cleaning system, 2 deck jets, 3 LEDs, a Typhoon pool slide and a heat pump heater. The decking will be stamped concrete. Cheers!

Greetings! How is the Fiji working out for you guys? Your design came out great. We ordered ours around Christmas for a spring install. I was 50/50 on the sun shelf but I know my wife would rather lounge than swim most of the time so we choose this model as compared to the Cancun. Do you still...
