    Need advice. Caulking between fiberglass steps and decking?

    I need some advice. My pool is an inground vinyl liner with cantilevered concrete decking. We just had it installed in January. I have noticed while swimming recently that there are a few gaps between the top of the fiberglass steps and the pool decking. This appears to just be an area where...

    Water test results & adding salt this weekend. A few ?s

    We had our 16' x 32' inground liner pool installed back in February and our pool builder recommended that we wait until the water temps warmed up some before adding the salt. I ordered the TF-100 test kit and my results are as follows: water temp: 74 degrees F Chlorine=0.5 (I have been...

    Pool construction is complete in South Carolina!

    We finished up our landscaping last week around the new inground vinyl liner pool. I still have a few little things to do like painting the exposed PVC lines at the equipment pad with tan Krylon Fusion paint and putting up some lattice work around it to help hide the equipment some. We are...

    Thanks elwood. They are coming early tomorrow morning to pump the concrete deck around the pool. We have a tree that my landscaper needs to replace then he can put down the brick pavers and resod.

    Well, this past week we finished the upper and lower retaining walls, installed landscape lighting in the wall and above it, installed the Autopilot DIG-220 SWG, the electrician hooked up the Pentair Intellibrite 5G LED pool light and the concrete crew came by and put up most of the deck forms...

    New Autopilot DIG-220 pump relay issue

    The pool builder sent the electrician back out today and when I got home the pump was running off of the Pool Pilot so it is now working correctly. We are going to wait and add salt to the pool once it starts to warm up so in the meantime the red Check System light is flashing telling me to Add...

    New Autopilot DIG-220 pump relay issue

    I need some assistance. We are nearing completion of our pool install and the installer sent out his electrician on Friday and they installed a 100 amp breaker panel, put up 2 mechanical timers (1 for the Heyward 1 hp Super Pump & the other for the Polaris booster pump) and hung the Autopilot...

    This is how it looked this morning. Since then they have cut in the light ring and installed the Intellibrite 5G LED light. The only items left on the pool itself are hooking up the pump to the electrical panel (that the electrician is supposed to install tomorrow), installing the handrails...

    Installed liner, began to add water and did some plumbing today. Starting to look like a pool now. I've got to get up around 2 AM and check the water level. They want to stop filling once the water level reaches a few inches below the bottom of the steps so that they can cut out for the light...

    Thanks guys! The weather tomorrow doesn't look good but after that it gets nice. It is supposed to be 76 and sunny by Tuesday. That should be perfect for installing the liner.

    We have wanted an inground pool for several years and finally pulled the trigger this year. They started digging Monday morning and all is going well so far. The pool will be a 16'x32' with a 6' deep end. We choose a builder who installs polymer walls (by Pacific Pools) so that we won't have...
