Im shocked that IG liner pools take that long. My last one, which was done in 18 was a 18x38 lagoon style was completed less concrete decking in 3 days.

I’m currently installing a 16x38 fiberglass pool in Delaware with an autocover. PM me for more info.

Plumbing done. Electrical close. Waiting on my buddy to pull some wire to the sub panel. I usually do all my own electrical work. I built and wired that shop in the backround with radiant infloor heat and EMT conduit for all electrical. But Im letting him do this for time sake. Once the...

Yeah I can’t imagine trying to do it some other way.

We used a large telehandler with 30 foot straps and a spreader bar. My local small crane guy was unavailable or I would have used him. So far the installation has been decent. I probably wouldn’t go it again, but that’s because I’d rather be doing other things.

Equipment availability was the main reason. I didn’t realize until after that sta-rite and pentair are the same. I had a sta rite on my last pool and I didn’t care for the sta-rite cartridge filter I had. I didn’t even know about the pentair intellichlor units until after I had bought...

The dig sheet specified 1 inch per foot of fall from shallow to deep. We over dug 5 inches and set screed rails with a laser. Double and triple checked out math. First time we set the pool it was 3 inches too high on the shallow end. This pool doesn’t have any flat sections per say. Only a...

Can someone explain the the plumbing routing for a manual bypass for a pentair mastertemp. The way I understand it, the heater has a bypass in it? I was told that I should be able to isolate the heater so water isn’t running through unless it’s being used for heating. Can someone give me an idea...

Dug the pool and set it Monday. The dig sheet supplied by the builder was off. Not surprising. Got most of the plumbing wrapped up today. Waiting on some soupy concrete to flow under the steps monday. Then auto cover company should be about 10 days out. The grade at my house falls about 18...

Im in the same boat as you. 16x38 fiberglass with autocover and skimmer dead set in the middle of the deep end. Im doing a DIY install with a cover safe autocover. Pool is being set tomorrow and cover company is about two weeks out. Not sure where you ended up but Im looking forward to finding out.

The three that came installed were done by the dealer. He also builds his own pools. I'll leave the ones pre installed alone and install another using no gaskets and 5200. If my skimmer has 2( 2 inch) ports, could I use both with home runs back to the equipment pad? I cant see how it would be a...

Unfortunately, "on them" means nothing at this point. They have been terrible to deal with. I doubt any issues I have would result in them fixing on their dime. I have a friend thats very capable on a machine digging it and setting it. Ive done enough research to know how it should be done. Im...

Yeah that’s a plus.

You don’t see an issue then not using the supplied gaskets that came with the returns. He even gave an extra one in case I wanted 4 and it had the gaskets in it. Seems weird not to use them.

So my fiberglass pool showed up today. I’m self installing it as the builder was wasting my time. Anyway, they were told not to include any skimmers or plumbing, that I would handling that. Well, it showed up with a skimmer and returns installed. Pics for reference. Two questions, I was planning...
