We have a leak in our attached raised spa. Over night the level drops about 3 inches. There is also a leak in one of the jet lines that requires breaking into the spa wall. Does anyone have any recommendations for a repair company in Galveston county?

I have a T-2005 kit that the PB supplied. When testing for CYA you add drops until the black dot disappears. My question is do you add drops until the black turns gray or until you can't see the dot. There is a big difference in the final reading.

A couple of months back I seem to remember reading a post about cleaning and recharging a DE filter. But now I can't seem to find it. I read the article in pool school but that wasn't the one I remembered. Does anyone know where to find it?

Our pool has just been fired up. Tomorrow we are scheduled for pool school. We've never owned a pool before so I turn to the knowledgeable people of this group for guidance. What things should we look for on the walk through to make sure everything is working correctly? Any advice would be...

I have the Taylor K-2005 test kit. When testing the clorine level I have trouble telling the slight difference between the color shades. Is there a good test kit that doesn't require matching color shades? TIA

We have been patiently waiting (although my patience is wearing thin :grrrr: ) for our pool to be plastered. We were scheduled for Friday 8/15 but the PB didn't finish the clean up on schedule so it was put off until the following Monday. Well on Saturday the rains began for the first time in...

We are nearing the end of our pool build so I'm starting to think about water testing. The PB includes a Taylor K-2005 test kit but in pool school it recommends the Taylor K-2006 kit. What is the difference? Is the K-2005 a good kit?

Our pool build is coming to an end, none too soon. Now our attention has turned to building a small pool house behind the garage. The main reason is for an outside full bath to keep wet people out of the house. We are having trouble coming up with a workable design and need some ideas. The area...

We are getting a pool built in the Houston area and are concerned that the water temperature will get too high in the dog days of summer. What is the normal water temperature people are seeing during the 90+ days? I don't think I would enjoy swimming in water that warm. Does anyone in the...

We started the pool building discovery process last summer and have finally gotten a design we are happy with. After seeing the designs done by several builders we were not impressed. The pools looked more like reused designs tweeked to fit the yard. Most of the builders we talked to did not do...

We are in the processing of selecting a pool builder / landscaper. Is it normal to expect one company to design and build the complete project? We have interviewed a well known builder in Houston but all they would do is the pool and decking.

Hello All, We are in the planning stage of building an in-ground pool in League City. I've found this forum to be a great help. I would really like to hear is anyone has had experience (good or bad) with pool builders in the area. I will post pictures as soon as the build begins. Mark
