Thanks for everyone's input. I am talking with the pool builder today about all of this. I will get you an update of our discussions. Thanks again

Hello everyone and thanks for the valuable information on here, I have learned a lot in the past week with some good responses on another post I made. We just signed the contract for a freeform gunite pool and here are the specs I am thinking about going with. Please chime in on what you think...

I appreciate the input Jim, I need to figure this out. Having two pool cleaners doesn't make sense. They are a reputable PB, but I also think they are trying to sell something I don't need. Need to do more research on this.

If I decide to scrap the IFCS, will the Polaris 280 be sufficient to clean the pool adequately? Pebble Tech is being used on the gunite.

Thank you for this information. I decided to go with one as the PB gave me a really good price. Less than 3K. I think if its possible to do what you have suggested and go separate for the pumps. I am looking for the most easiest part of owning a pool and thinking that the IFCS would work out...

Thank you. I am thinking about going with all Pentair. Not sure why they are requesting jandy system. Maybe they are used to going with jandy. I like the Pentair much better after reviewing it. Is it worth going with vs pump? I would guess costs to run would be much better.

Hello everyone. We just signed the contract for a new Gunite pool install here in New England. They are starting the dig mid to end of Sept. going to dig, spray Gunite and some pavers and then shutting down end of November until spring of next year where they will spray the pebble tech and...

Sorry got double pics in there. I have from start of digging to framing to finish, i will try to see how I can get all those in there. Chris

Re: The Beast PArt II Ok, got some more!

Here is my pool about finished. I wanted to load more, but I guess 3 is the max. Any questions, please let me know. Thanks! Chris

Everything looks great so far and havent had to add any chemicals as of yet and it has been raining for the past two days. I am checking on it tonight when i get home and see how it is. Every day it is getting more clear and looks great. I am going to post some pics on the picture section and...

I installed a Aqua Illiminator from poolcenter.com recently and am not too happy with it. It only lights about 1/2 the pool and that is without the red/green/red light attachments. Not too happy right now. I dont know anything else that is out there, but wanted to give you a heads up on this...

Excellent, thanks so much for the info. It is raining here in MA today and tomorrow. I did shock the pool again this morning and will be putting more CYA in the pool tonight to bring that level up more. I do have some PH increase (i got it when i bought the pool) and will be adding some...

After shocking the pool this morning, I came home this evening and my pool is pretty clear, probably about 90% and much clearer. I did the testing and here are my results: Hardness 0 Total Chlorine 3 Free Chlorine 3 PH 7.2 Alkalinity 120 CYNA 30 The hardness is a little concerning. I...

Thank you very much for the response. I will get the chemical test done when i get home tonight and post it for you to see. I woke up this morning and checked on the pool and it is a little more clear, but not too much from yesterday. I shocked it again this morning and the pump is running on...

Hello all and before i get to my question, i want to thank all of you for the great reading material and helpful knowledge that has helped me. Ok, on with the question. I bought a pool last October (15 x 30 above ground x 52" high). I had it set up professionally when i bought the pool and...
