poolmstr - Would a continuously running fan installed on one of the bathroom walls alleviate this problem?

Dave - Is the bleach injection pump the "Stenner Peristaltic Pump" you have listed in your signature? How much is this injection pump vs installing a SWG?

Thanks for the info. I guess by "traditional pool maintenance" I'm referring to the stuff a pool company would sell you, in ready to use form vs buying the chemicals individually and only using what is needed. I'm guessing a lot of people who don't understand the chemistry of their pool just...

Thanks for the reply RobbieH. 2 follow up questions. Would you recommend we start with the BBB method out of the gate, or let the PB get us set up and ready to go initially with their ways? and If we don't go with a SWG, are there good automatic chrlorine injection systems that are good to use?

Would someone be able to answer a few quick questions regarding the BBB method? We haven't started the pool build process yet, but are looking to do so in 2014. I 'm sure the pool builder we choose might recommend to us the traditional pool maintenance method (and try to sell us on having them...

I'm interested to see if it is possible to include a fairly good sized tanning shelf as part of a new vinyl pool. The tanning shelf would be 7 x 12 feet in size and between 6 and 8 inches deep. (possibly sloping from 6 inches to 8 inches to allow for dirt to runoff to the main pool area) I've...

Thanks Joallen001! We are excited to start with the next steps of getting bids & fine-tuning the details! I think I will start a new thread regarding the tanning shelf to see if we get any more input.

Thanks for the information! Getting the waste line from the toilet/sink to connect up with the existing home's main line may be tricky, but could probably be done. It would be easier to run a new line directly to the street and add a new hook-up point to the city's sewer system, but I'm sure...

Over the last several months, we have been playing around with ideas and designs and have landed on the the following concept for our pool. I created the attached designs using the google Sketch-Up program and was hoping to get some feedback. We have not yet talked with any local pool builders...

I've come across the topic a few times while researching SWG systems... a quick google search found an example of a post: http://www.homebuyerstalk.com/showthread.php?t=51351 It doesn't look like their question was answered in this post, but in this example the asker had just converted their...

We are drawing up our plans for a new pool build. One thing I would like to add is a small bathroom (attached to a pool storage shed). We always feel bad swimming at other people's pools and then having to track water through their house to get to the bathroom! Also, I imagine that some folks...

We have read that SWG systems attract bees and wasps more than a traditional chlorine pool system does. We have bee allergies in our family which is why this will be an important decision for us. I've read that they are attracted to the salty taste of the water. Any advice?

Hello! I am brand new to the forum. We are looking to build our 1st ever pool in late 2014! I'm sure I will have a lot of questions as we go through this process. For now, I'm just reading all I can and trying to learn the basics. If anyone has any initial advice on the pool build process...
