Big52, On the double matting is that just the floor or the entire pool? What about putting #4 rebar on 10” centers for the extra strength?

No just a pool bench with the jets... I came across a picture a couple weeks ago I should have screenshot it.

Hello TFP team... I'm looking for help for any pictures of pools that have seating that have jets just for the seating area. I know I've seen some pictures on here before just having a hard time finding some. I'm trying to explain to my pool builder what I want and a picture speaks for it self...

I was in the same boat aways took my robot out after cleaning duty. Simply because I didn’t like the idea of something plugged into pwr just sitting on the bottom of the pool when teenager kids are screwing around.

Jim Thanks for the reply and comments... - Yes I've used a gunite spa not sure why your asking is that because unlike a free standing of 70-125 jets you are only getting 6 jets? I feel that when I but my house on the market in 3-10 yrs most people will turn there nose up at a free standing more...

That's a big difference.... Thanks

Really everything I can find is standalone spas that are hooked up 220V will heat up approximately 6-8 degrees/hour. Spas hooked up 110V will heat up approximately 1-2 degrees/hour. My PB told me that it will take my attached spa 2-3 degrees/hour and use a couple gal of propane. Is that not the...

Can anyone help me and give some pros and cons of putting a 3-5k hot tub out next to a pool versus putting a 10k spa attached? I would sink it a bit and build a nice stonewall on 3 sides or on all 4 sides. Pros: Cost 3-5k (spa 8-10k) I will not have to get a propane 250-500 gal tank for the spa...

Yes reg white is in the base price the $2947 is for colored reg plaster. That to me is what upsets me with this PB it appears to me that he trying to get over on me.

I have a feeling this PB is trying to charge me to much for diamond brite. He put down it would be an additional 7K for a pool 39 x 19, 3.5-6ft, 106ft. Other things that look high iaualogic PS8 controller he has for $2325, 1 1/2 booster pump, valves and drains $1435, Reg colored plaster $2947...

Re: Any thoughts on this? Thanks for the replies very useful information. From the sounds of it that if I went with that builder I need to ask him to leave the rebar conecting out. This is the same PB that tried to put the fear in me on the salt system. From talking to him sounds like he is...

PB tell me this is one of the things sets him apart from others. He calls it pump protection from pump burnout. He has it riged so if the water drops below the skimmer the pump will not run dry. He also says that he ties in the pool structure rebar with the deck rebar by bending it so it flows...

Does anyone have a picture of decking that's about 850 sq ft? Just trying to visualize how much that is. The program a PB was using didn't really show it to well. Thanks, TCB

What is the name of a good robot? Thanks, TCB

Yesterdays PB hates the idea of using salt system and if I install one will make me sign a waiver and not warranty the decking and structure of the pool. (using chlorine system the deck will have a 2 year and the structure will have a lifetime but it is not transferable) He talked about...

Thanks for the intel DD... I'm not sure about the salt system I had a guy over last night that put the fear in me about using them.

Had a builder out to the house yesterday and have a couple questions and statements I would like you to review…. - On the plaster he states that he can add black sand to the plaster for a darker look and the sand is UV resistant so the color we will get will hold up longer. Is this the case and...

Looking at starting my build soon in North Texas and I've had a couple PB out to get a lay of the land. All have stated because I'm not in the city limits that permits will not be required. My questions is because the city will not be inspecting the work should I get an independent contractor to...
