Just wanted to provide an update to close this out. I did order the heat pump I indicated and had a professional pool installer/electrician do the install. There were no changes to the wire size or breaker from my main panel. Knock on wood, but the heat pump has been running without issues (no...

thank you sir

Hi, thanks for the replies. The total run is about 50 feet and yes I have 6agw wire. At the subpanel there are 2 20amp breakers. 1 for the pool light and the other one for the SWG and pump. Thoughts now? Thanks again

I'll start off by saying that I will have a qualified electrician & pool service professional do the installation of the heat pump. I'm just doing research for costs involved which include possibly beefing up the existing pool wiring. I'm looking at the Pentair UltraTemp 120k btu heat/cool...

89.5 about 4 degrees too warm for me. Supposed to be hotter today. Will have the deck jets on all day to hopefully knock it down a few degrees before I get home from work.

I bought an Onyko network receiver http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-TX-NR626-7-2-Channel-Network-Receiver/dp/B00BLGUKDE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1434655804&sr=8-1&keywords=onkyo that sits inside the house. I ran speaker wire out of the house to the speakers in the backyard. The receiver connects...

I don't see your pictures. A pergola is on my honey-do list.

I bought the Dolphin Primal from amazon about 1 month ago, and I am extremely pleased with it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ISBS5QO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 A pressure side one was provided by the PB, but I hated it. It seemed like I was always adjusting it and...

I have a neighbor who said he only tests his pool twice a year and then only uses the test strips and lets the pool store open and close for him. I saw his pool last year and it looked extremely cloudy. I was talking about my pool that I was trying to get the SWG dialed in to get the FC around...

Thank you for the review. This is my first year for the pool and it gets full sun from dawn to dusk. We were going to see how this year went before deciding on what to do. I didn't know this was an option vs. a heat pump. Much cheaper too.

Just noticed that woot.com has solar covers on sale. Don't now if these are good prices, but thought I'd pass it along. http://tools.woot.com/plus/robelle-pool-impoolvment?ref=cnt_wp_12

Rewired and working perfectly. Now just have to dial in how long to run the pump and SWG to keep the FC level consistent. Thanks for all of your input.

Thank you. I'll work on it when I get home. The PB included a Polaris TR35P. I ran it for a month when the pool was installed in late Sept 2014, until it was closed in October. I could never get it working properly, adjusting the nozzles, speed, etc and it just wouldn't clean well at all and...

I have to shut it off at the panel, it runs 24/7. I have SWG shut off because running 24/7 at lowest level is producing too much chlorine. - - - Updated - - - Thanks. Brand new pool I had installed within last 7 months.

Thanks Steve. I don't use the booster pump since it is for a polaris robot I don't use (got a dolphin). So, since I don't use the booster I can disconnect it from the timer totally. Pigtail wire the SWG and Filter pump to 2&4 and supply to 1&3. Would the white wires stay in place? Thanks

Hi, could someone take a look at my pool timer set up. As you can see in the pics the main, SWG, booster pump and filter all run into the timer box. However, when I flip the on/off switch the only thing that turns on/off is the booster pump. What am I missing, I would think if everything is...

Yes it hit 83 the other day, but my daughter has been in every day since opening on 4/24, when it was 70.1 degrees.

Last pic, before and after

I got mine from Amazon also. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0039ZJ5EU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. But I bought it in the fall when they were lowering stock on hand and they kept dropping the price. There is a website called camelcamelcamel.com that tracks amazon prices...

The cover was provided by the PB and they cut it to the shape of the pool. The odd shape does make it a little uneven (as you can see in the picture) when it is rolled up, but I am able to unroll it and roll it back up with little difficulty.

My wife has already planted some rose bushes and smaller flowering type trees. She also has a boatload of flower seeds to turn the rest of it into a wild flower garden. If it was up to me it would be astro turf, just hose it off went it gets dirty and no bees or petals to get in the pool. - -...

Now that the weather is getting nicer I can continue working on my DIY hardscaping. I've built a 100+ foot retaining wall, paver walkway(s) and a 35'x14' paver patio. Still some more work to do, but I'm getting closer to getting sod put down (also DIY) and some plants in. It'll be ready in...

it is pretty tight and we actually have one of the "better" lots. Won't be much skinny dipping until the future trees are planted and are 20' tall.

Concrete was poured yesterday.

Thanks for the kinds words everyone. The electricians came back Friday morning and the inspector was out just a few minutes after they finished digging the trench deeper, so we passed. Concrete pour still hoping for Monday.

Our build in Walkersville, MD started last week and probably should have been done by now. We went with a Riviera 34 IG fiberglass made by Leisure pools. Our PB was about $11k cheaper than Sylvan Pools for the same pool and extras we wanted (colored gel coat, 2 deck jets, extra return, SWG...

I'm thinking about getting one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HMA7OK/ref=ox_sfl_cart_mbc_s3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&serverToken=Obidos

Just placed an order with them too, for these: http://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/hardscape-lighting-and-led-light-strips/led-hardscape-light-6in-landscape-retaining-wall-light-with-mortar-mounting-plate/1911/4496/ but was lucky that when I "liked" them on facebook & found that they have a...

Thanks Casey. Just had A. Sylvan at the house. Their quote ($51k) was well over over $10,000 more than a local PB ($41k) we had out last week for the exact same pool (16'x35' fiberglass same maker). Pretty close to apples to apples, but the price differences were odd: local PB charges $1800...

Hi all. New here, but have been lurking for about a month. Looking for reviews / recommendations for inground fiberglass pools installers in Frederick, MD. Anybody deal with Laurel Pools out of Libertytown, or Anthony Sylvan? Any other local installers that I should talk to? Thank you all...
