That include pavers? Or concrete???

Ouch.

Thanks! The backyard will be part of our purchase of the house. Staying away from something that has a yard that is too sloped. We have looked at one we love, but part of the septic would need to be moved, which definitely is a big expense.

Only going 5 feet deep on deep end, don't need a diving end.

I'm almost thinking of a contractor to install pool and pavers/concrete. I'll do all the equipment. I know I can install the swg, filter, pump and heater. Idk if a pool place would allow that. I'm sure I'll be taking away from their profits for overcharging on all that stuff.

Thanks for the replies. Wanting a basic 16x32 vinyl liner, no waterfalls, no sun shelfs...just a basic 16x32 rectangle with steps . I know things have skyrocketed with covid, but I had an ig installed 9years ago on LI for $30k. I was hoping $50k would do it, but as stated here, lots of variables.

Moving down in Jan, and wondering what a BASIC 16x32 IG pool will run me. No bells and whistles, just a basic one. I know I can get estimates once down there, but just want to get a ballpark figure, since we will be looking at homes without one.

I will never use anything other than a solid cover. No worries with dirt, and algae. Sure more expensive, but worth it imo.

The thing is, the pool is not being used for at least 4 months. I understand a later closing/early opening, but me personally, will winterize my future pool in GA. Just my personal opinion obviously.

I think leaving the pool open over winter is risky, and a waste of money on unnecessary electric. Why not just winterize it? Doesnt seem like its worth the risk leaving it open. It DOES get cold in the Atlanta area. Many nights under freezing, days also. Btw, Im on LI, NY. Been winterizing my...

I have nice locking casters from my old reel. They are heavy duty, maybe I could use them on the Rocky's reel. Still debating on the Rocky's or something else.

Wow. That's annoying

Well I can get a like new, used a few times rocky 3a, with a solar cover, same use for $300. Maybe I should go for the rocky? The vingly does look nice though, and looks easier to maneuver which I do weekly.

My old reel is about done. Wondering if the Rocky's is worth the price??? My current reel has cranks on both ends, which I like, because sometimes I have to go to other side to straighten cover a little bit. I'm also worried about the tiny casters on the 3a, which I'm considering. Thoughts...

They want you to throw it away, and buy a new one. Everything today is disposable. I'm hoping a $20 chip will bring it back to life. My new jacuzzi vs pump is working nice, well it should for $1200.

I will upload more pics tomorrow of the full board. Unfortunately nothing in Google came up about it. Maybe you can figure something out. So let's walk over how to test my board. If board is fine, and just chip failure, this is a $20 fix. I'm good at soldering,so shouldn't take much time either

Yes, a major failure. The pcb does look intact, I'm just wondering if something else failed, causing the chip to blow apart. I might be able to get a new chip for about $12. I did Google the numbers on the pcb, but nothing really comes up, which is odd.

So the IRAMS12UP60A-2 power driver chip is split/blown apart. IIm thinking of just getting a new one, soldering in, and maybe I have a backup

Don't think it was a surge, although who knows. There is a main big chip with a heatsink on the mainboard. It literally is separated into 2 pieces, and some charring. Pump had been running the last day and a half on full speed, since I just opened it. Maybe it just overheated something, and...

Well my VS pump just took a Crud. 8 years seems low to me. Its the mainboard inside that is toast. Couldn't find a replacement board anywhere. Sucked it up, and purchased a new one for $1200...Just wondering if 8 years is the norm??

I have been using salt for 7 years. No issues. Lots of us here do. Sounds like user/equipment error. But if our happy with chlorine, that's great.

Whats this manual thing you are talking about? LOL. My robot does it all, even spring opening.

Didn't realize you have to pump water off auto covers. Seems like a PITA. Surprised it doesn't have a drain built in. Pool looks awesome! Enjoy!

Agreed! I think what saved me, was my solar cover is on when we don't use it, probably keeping some of that chlorine in.

Didn't notice any harsh feel, maybe because its saltwater.
