    Should I stop filling?

    I have three uprights I'm worried about. 1.) One is pulled in slightly. 2.) One has the wall bulging slightly. 3.) One has the wall bulging a lot but when I put pressure on the wall (where the water will be) it snaps into place. I think this is because the rail is slightly higher in some places...

    Installation failure. Ripped off by installers. Don't know what to do.

    I decided I needed additional help finishing up the install of my pool (and I wanted to make sure it was done right) so I went with someone who used to be a certified pool operator/installer who was taking side work. Huge mistake. He didn't follow (or read) directions, even argued with me when I...

    Losing my mind - liner install tomorrow and I'm freaking out

    If there was ever a post of mine to respond to this is it, I'm about to jump off a roof. Today is the last day for my construction friends (one used to be a certified pool operator who installed permanent pools) to help me before they start a big job building a school. This whole project has...

    Pool Heater uses 1 1/2" fittings - Loop uses 2" fittings

    My filter, variable speed pump, salt water chlorine generator, etc, uses 2" plumbing. I bought a Raypak Crosswind 65-I and it uses 1 1/2" plumbing. Next season I will boost it's output with a roof solar water heating system (combined with a 24x7 solar cover). This is a 16,000-ish semi-buried...

    Pool Loop Design Validation

    Any opinions on this current design? Where should I add/move shut off valves? My heat pump is 1 1/2" and the rest of the loop is 2" - I want to use the diverters to make tweak the GPM to make sure I don't go past 37 GPM. The flow meter will be FlowVis — H2flow Controls unless anyone has other...

    Will a 61,000 BTU heat pump extend the swim season in Seattle for a 15,000 gallon AGP?

    Quick question, The pool will be a 24' round above ground pool. It's a ThePoolFactory Aurora (all resin). It'll be buried half way down 2'3" and backfilled with soil. I'm also adding wall foam. The pool will also have a solar cover at all times it isn't in use. It gets sun about 95 percent of...

    Going crazy selecting components for my 24' round partially buried saltwater project

    I live in Seattle area and I've always wanted a pool as an adult. I could easily spend hours a day swimming even as an adult, and I find myself in the ocean or hotel pool whenever I'm traveling. I had an above ground pool as a kid and I was responsible for the maintenance tasks, so I am aware of...
