    Pool remodel - Acworth, GA (Atlanta)

    At the finishing stages of a pool remodel in Acworth, GA (Atlanta area). Great experience so far with our contractor. Here are a couple of before pictures, and the almost-finished product. At this point, they still have to adjust the color of the stamped concrete, seal it, cap the wall, build...

    Pump leaking - oversized?

    Thank you!! You are correct. That valve adjusts the flow to the polaris. So that filter is just to filter the line that feeds the polaris, right? The valve is hooked up to some sort of Blue Haven Pools Platinum Pure Plus gadget (picture is in the photo link). Dont think that it works. But...

    Pump leaking - oversized?

    Another follow-up, with some questions: Here is the picture link for reference: https://plus.google.com/photos/10986698 ... 8519270081 Background on the filter: Ive only owned the house for a month now. I didnt know the history of the cartridge filters, so I replaced all 4. They were...

    Pump leaking - oversized?

    Update! Pool company #2 completed their work yesterday. Was the main seal in the pump. Has a lengthy conversation yesterday afternoon with the home warranty company about pool company #1. They seemed quite disturbed about the stark contract in estmimates. Another plus came out of this...

    Pump leaking - oversized?

    Indeed. My trusted pool adviser agrees - its not the best, but it works. I'm not sure yet what half of that stuff is. But im slowly figuring it out.

    Pump leaking - oversized?

    In his word, "everything". He went off on a couple of mintue lecture about how awful the plumbing is, how much of it just needed to be completely redone, how beautifully he would do it, how much of a PITA it would be to even work on my pump, how it should have never passed inspection (what...

    Pump leaking - oversized?

    2nd opinion came back much different. Its not a 3hp pump. That confims my suspicion that service guy #1 had other motives for his 'diagnosis'. The guy who was sent from company #2 has been around for a long time. Turns out he actually did some of the install work on my pool back in the...

    New pool (for me) in GA

    Thank you everyone for the kind words and warm welcome around here. This picture was taken a few weeks before we moved in. Late April / Early May. The debris is leftover from the Atlanta spring time. Definitely a learning experience dealing with the pool and all the natural life around it...

    New pool (for me) in GA

    Just thought I'd share a quick picture of my new (to me) backyard oasis. Just bought this house about a month ago. Pool was put in ~1997. It has a few issues, but is generally in good condition. What a great place for the family! And this site has been a great resource for me as a new...

    Pump leaking - oversized?

    Just had a moment to mess around with things. - The pool and spa do both run off the same pump. The waterfall runs off the 2nd one. - The cover on top of the pump does leak ever so slightly - so does the pvc pipe that is going straight into the top of the pump. just a little dribble around...
