I know David; his daily purview is 7 day regimes. Don’t throw out the baby with bath water ; he is an advocate of tfp like maintenance for the daily operator & quite vocal about it. He references & refers this forum on his podcast.

Just post which has been presented to you please

Yes. Ferrari vs a bicycle.

That pool has received 2 major mcguyvers - so far, running out of plays. Do Coping & liner - wise to repljmb at the same time..

Follow your damage back to decking perimeter; you will find the suspect. ?

1. Your scope of work needs to state substrate replacement 2. Pool floor is not structural; it’s job is to decouple liner from dig - we do this work daily; floors are not change orders, they are expensive segmented contracts.

Replace decking coping & liner; be “one & done” - poor deck placement, retaining wall is pushing deck toward pool... the pool will always loose that fight

I find the inside 45 corner most alarming; somebody someday is going to crack their coconut wide open.

No - to satisfy a water bond; the element must be below pool water level. This is to comply when a system looses prime if takes out of service.

Frank wall products- look it up

Did contract cite any standard; if not dunno what to tell ya There are 4 state recognized subject matter experts by Penn.. one is married to my wife..

ALD fails to impress. Any competent pool contractor runs circles around that franchise.

Fox skimmer... Several Tell tale skimmer cracks - tell the fixture is taking a freeze thaw beating.. Is that a wad of AB epoxy in skimmer bottom? Those skimmers are junk & common failure for the female port, to just fall off the can.

It’s like mowing lawns out there & down south.. different ball game.

Did you fire it dry before the trash can? Well it’s kinda fun?

Poor placement & water added before a proper “set”

PM your pentair reps name if you are comfortable.. Models are changing & tweets are rolling out; as they have lost a few energy star stripes.. regardless; it’s best equipment available to a a backyard pool.

The lamp & conduit leaks are apples and oranges.

To OP ? - absolutely no swimming in depicted condition. Drowning is swift & silent, despite sanitation 100% visibility of bathers is a requisite for use.

Milwaukee m 12air snake is a nice sub 500 tool.. A 10gal co2 gun will also do the deed.. As jimmy implied; either in the wrong hands will lead to a jackhammer.

That’s incompetent substrate; your Contractors is on the right path, his hands are tied “as weather and ground conditions permit” Photos depict about $7k in overages; believe me he is not happy about these conditions either.. Our contracts dictate; if a buyer terminated - contractor to be...

Liners are not a regulated product & raw material is a major variable. Liner manufacturers merely assemble the products, with no control over raw goods. & they are well trained & disciplined to dodge this topic. The white paper & sheet good independent analysis for about $6k. I can not...

Best of luck...

“Opinions” aren’t relevant.

Gauge doesn’t equal mil.. naive buyers will fall for that ole trick everytime; unfortunately there are hustlers playing that shell game

That’s an old school rebranded heldor tank; It’s an antique I’d throw it out.. or flip it over cut out & replace the 1.5” drain assembly run. Nonetheless, not many of those in service anymore

Never do that; double liners will wrinkle & fungus will quickly be visible from poolside.

Not necessarily; bad practice to ignore cal with a liner pool. if his liner raw goods are 6% cal carbonate by weight he will be fine.. if they are in the 18 to 20% range there will be problems soon.. The End user and very few dealers will not have access to the relevant info. OP Bring...

Put a tennis ball under them

Nope - thick walls are preferred.
