If the 'inspect cell' light doesn't come on, does that mean there is probably no problem?

Would it cause problems if a popsicle stick gets stuck inside one of the chambers of a Hayward TCELL940 SWG chlorinator??

I'm nearing the end of our pool build, and the pool and hot tub are both losing lots of water. The bucket test shows both pool and spa are losing nearly 1" per day more than the bucket. There are also visible leaks on two sides of the hot tub (photos below). I don't see any signs of water...

Hi AuralAlias, I think I'm dealing with the exact same thing with my hot tub now (leak discovered, not fixed yet, PB not acknowledging problem). Do you happen to have pictures of exactly how it was leaking and how they fixed it, what the repaired pipe looks like, etc? If the original builder...

They used a combination of 2”, 3”, and 4” pipes

We have ~110 ft run from the pumps to the pool, and ~16" elevation on the pump, with three 90's in the line. Should I have any concerns about stress on the system? We could eliminate one of the 90's by changing to 45's, but that would cause a re-trenching hassle to run at a 45-degree angle. Any...

Shotcrete coming in a couple days… Is 30psi air a good way to pressure test the pipes?

This is great, thank you @Foxer! Do you know if we can choose which side of the cover box contains the motor (that extends 2-3 feet beyond the edge of the pool)? Our builder is planning to add extra rebar in that area, but I'll triple check with the new potential to have the wall straddle the...

Yeah I think you're right :( We may have to put the cover box in the shallow end instead. Is it possible to locate the cover box behind the waterfall wall?? Essentially adding another couple feet to the length of the cover, and running it underneath the wall? If the box goes in the shallow end...

@kimkats are you talking about an overflow grate around the perimeter of the pool? To keep water from flooding around the pool during big rains? Do you have any pictures or links to help visualize it? Is this in place of just a set of standard drains on the bottom of the pool? What benefits...

Thanks Foxer! I'd love to check out your pool design sometime :) Yes, we'll be installing an auto cover. Figuring out the details now to learn how we can install the auto cover box under or in front of the waterfall wall. If anyone has experience or thoughts about fitting in the auto cover I'd...

We’re planning to put the equipment in a shed against the far fence - around 100ft from the hot tub. Will there be any problems running the pipes that far from the pumps to the hot tub?

Thank you PoolStored! I’ll take this into account. FYI here’s a view of our pool design. We’re breaking ground this week :)

Hi all, I'm brand new to the forum and brand new to pools. Our family is building a 20'x40' in ground gunite pool (3'6" to 9' deep) and 8'x8' hot tub in our yard near SLC, UT. There will be a 5'x20' 'mom shelf' in the shallow end, and a 4' high waterfall wall in the deep end for the teenagers to...
