Trying to determine if the color discoloration I see is within normal bounds. It's hard to capture in a photograph, but I'm seeing a bunch of areas in the deep end that look dirty or that dirt is embedded in the plaster. It looks darker in person vs the photo. I don't see the "dirty" areas in...

I thought that's how it worked as well, but unfortunately I'm able to manually trigger the heater on the heater panel itself - even though it's setup in "HI-LO-COM" mode for control through Aqualink. If it was in able to be software locked out - that would eliminate the need for a physical...

I have a Jandy Jxi heater at a home that will be used as an occasional short term rental. If the pool needs to be heated, the management company will utilize Aqualink (or physical access if required). I'd like to prevent guests from accessing the physical heater controls. Has anyone seen a...

And based on that doc, maybe I'm mixing terminologies. They used thin-wall PVC rated at 200psi. Probably this (Charlotte Pipe 1 in. x 10 ft. Plastic Plain End Pipe PVC200100600 - The Home Depot) vs Thick-wall PVC schedule 40 (JM EAGLE 1 in. x 10 ft. White PVC Schedule 40 Pressure Plain-End...

In my on-going saga of dealing with an incompetent PB.... I discovered they used Class 200 PVC on the autofill line. :mad::brickwall: This is an old pic, but somewhat illustrative. The pipe has been cut down closer to the ground and the BFP has been correctly oriented and installed into the...

Thanks - yes this is how everything is setup. I was thinking about the cut-off valve to minimize the amount of aeration from normal operation. And also to reduce the amount of additional scale from water running over the spa wall more frequently Thanks, that helps guide the decision here...

Brand new SWG that is in the final stages of completion. I've realized the returns are plumbed one side goes to the spa jets, the other side goes to pool returns and one spa makeup return. Using the pool/spa return there is ways a spillover happening. I'm contemplating adding a manual.valve...

I think it's more incompetence on the builder's direction, guidance, training, and oversight to their employees or subs completing work. I flagged the use of mortar rather than concrete, and there was no pushback or trying to convince me that it was the right product choice. I did see a...

Just spoke with them and they are going to come back and re-do all the mortar steps with concrete. 🙌 Assuming the new concrete is completed today - is it safe for them to plaster tomorrow or Saturday? Or does the concrete need to be allowed to cure for a minimum period of time? I'm not...

@JoyfulNoise Appreciate the info! Sounds like I get to have some more fun conversations. Do you know of any documentation or building standards I could cite on the correct procedures here? I'm sure the answer I'm likely to get is "we know what we're doing, it's fine"

It's been a frustrating build process, the PB has disappeared multiple times. Here's the rough timeline so far: Feb '22 - Dig & Rebar Mar '22 - Plumbing, electrical conduit, etc Apr '22 - Shotcrete May '22 - Added additional steps & bench missed in plan (Quikrete used for these items) May '22...

Close to finishing out an awful pool experience, and am a bit worried at the moment. PB just poured a couple of additional pool steps today that were missed in the original shotcrete shoot. They intend to do the plaster/stonescape install by Saturday. Is it possible to plaster over concrete...

Hi - looking for some advice on how to approach improving this BFP install. (Pictures of the current install attached) My PB has indicated they aren't finished with this- but I want to proactively work through potential solutions with them. My concerns about how it's installed: Pipe...
