From a practical standpoint i have am going to have a pool service, I have had the same guy for over a year, he basically just vacuums, empties the skimmer. and My pool has never had chemistry issues, the salt cell has been keeping up with the chlorine levels and the pool company never uses...

It has been a while since I played close attention to my pool, I have a pool service that cleans every week. The other day we had a pretty windy day, and I noticed my pool was a mess, so I cleaned the strainer, and the bag on my pool cleaner. I noticed that it did not refill quickly, so I...

Got my deck inspection today and passed also finally got my sprinklers working again

OK so we are making some progress, no where near as fast as i would like. Here is the pool lights on first and then the fill is covering most of the plumbing around the pool

My Equiptment pad with the electric mostly done

pretty bummed, they had to drain some of the water from the pool today to re-level one corner about and inch low, the PB blamed it on the excavator but I am pretty sure it was because they only used 2 inches of sand vs 4 inches that viking says to use. We also had some discussion about how much...

thanks Texas Splash

this is what where my equipment pad is going before the retaining wall I still have to move the fence for the chicken coop a couple of feet but at least the equipment will be out of sight ps if you look closely you can see my A_$_s(the equine kind)

Passed my plumbing inspection today! so this weekend i will have water in the pool. I have to get the electrical panel in tomorrow

http://www.swimmingpool.com/blog/risks-salt-water-pools-every-pool-owner-needs-know I found this article while searching, galvanic corrosion is not an issue of chemicals in the pool, more like stray electric current going through water that has salt in solution. I have seen this happen to...

Just curious my new pool is in the plumbing phase and I am curious if i Need a zinc anode to stop my heater/pump/whatever other metal is in the water from being eaten up? Am i just being paranoid or is this something i really need? I am looking at getting an anode that goes in a PVC to and has a...

My PB showed up yesterday morning with a roll of PVC flex, I said what are you going to do with that? His response was that he had plumbed hundreds of pools with flex and that you never want to use rigid because the fitting will crack as you compact the dirt around the pool. Needless to say he...

I have not seen it in person yet tonight will be the first time so I am pretty eager to get to see it! From what I understand there is only about 18 inches of water in it but this week it should get filled and I will post more pictures

Ok I have been out of town for a bit, but when i got back they had all the sand in the bottom and we are ready for the pool in the next couple of days Also tomorrow morning they are going to start on my retaining wall to hold my pool equiptment

After a rain delay of one day for rain, they have the hold dug It looks like i am going to have to bring in some fill for the deck so hopefully that will be here Monday, then back to more finish digging on Wednesday

I am just getting ready to install me SWG and i am not certain if i should put a check valve between my SWG and my heater, pentair says yes but the person selling me the equipment says it is not needed as the cell is never on unless the pump is pushing water forward and it increases head...

Well we started digging today, sort of. First it was a real chore getting the backhoe up the hill in my back yard, then once it was up the contractor informed me that i should have turned my sprinklers off because my lawn was too wet. So I had them strip all the grass out so the dirt can dry...
