My understanding is you should plug it to keep the critters out

I appreciate any comments in advance.... looking for feedback as this is my first pool closing. Last year the pool builder did it so i tried to do as they did (as far as i could remember that is). I used a shopvac and blew from the skimmer to get the water out, then i disconnected the salt...

thanks for the input. so you would recommend i just leave the intakes on the right side and run the piping to that side?

thanks for the responses. yes ill be putting the SWG after the heater. i have read many places i need a check valve. Manual says i need one if i have a chlorinator, im assuming the SWG can be considered a chlorinator or not?

Hi, was hoping someone could give me a few pointers. Im having a Hayward h250fdn heater put in. I have the gas guy doing the hook up and an electrician do the electrical (obviously!). so that leaves the plumbing, and i wonder about the hookup to the control panel. As you can see its a pretty...

thanks for the feedback. my biggest concern was with the water that will go overboard onto the decking and near my fence, but maybe im worrying a bit too much about this. I understand in other cities in ontario they are also not allowing for salt water pools to drain into city sewers either so...

last year the pool was finished in the fall, so it was only filled just over halfway and they didnt cut out the liner over the returns for the winter.

Hi all, i have a question... i live in Canada and my pool builder (new build from last fall) says we dont need to drain the pool at all. He blew the lines out using a one way valve that lets water out but not back in. He put some foam blocks in the skimmer and thats it. He says its not...

Did you fill the pool with same source of water? I like the color these liners give, at first i was sceptical but it was my pool builder that recommended it saying it would help warm the water better vs a traditional blue liner.

You did some really nice work. Did the first pool builder compensate you at all for the liner? Btw nice choice of liner color, i got the same one last year, love the color of water it gives in the deep end.

Very nice. Looks huge!

Looks really nice, but from that shot you posted im curious how a 16x39 pool will fit

Would like to see a pic of your backyard in daylight, curious how you finished around the pool.

i just want to put something there that 1. wont be as ugly as the crushed stone 2. will keep the crushed stone in place. My pool builder suggested i put that black cloth stuff and then river rock, but im quite certain the river rock wont stay in place as the slope is too much. I dont want...

Yeah i think thats what ill do unless someone else can suggest something.

I just had my stamped concrete deck poured today, the "back" side of the pool is higher than the side of my existing interlock deck due to the grading of my yard. The back end is about a foot and a half above ground level. They poured the concrete today but the side where it slopes to ground...

Thanks for the answers. Pool build is currently underway... They will use rebar in the concrete with crushed stone for backfill with sonotubes concreted in at the same time as the pool footing. Hope it lasts!

Im also wondering the same thing... I know it needs to be filled, im guessing a foot below the skimmer?

Good day, Im new here so go easy on me if these answers are found elsewhere (if so i didnt find them) Ive been looking at having an inground pool built, and have had several contractors come and give me quotes and of course explain their construction process. Many different contractors mention...
