Got a T-9 salt cell. All has been well. Noticed this AM, DE filter was clogging and pool was turning cloudy. Backwashed, added new filter media. Flowing great. Noticed my salt cell was saying low salt. Added a bag. Now it says 0000. Or 0100 or 0700 at times. No chorine. Took off...

Okay, off and running. Pool seems fine. Looks good. People are happy. BUT...despite 100% chlorine going in cell and super chlorinating for a day...I register nothing. Maybe just under 1. Not sure why. All is running well. Pool only 6 months old. Next. PH is high. Added acid to lower. Worked...

Okay gang, we have a large deck, no problem. Just don't have the $$$$ to build a solid structure. That will be down the road. So we are looking at Sun Sails which look cool, with 3 large post, or just a big box store gazebo. We can easily do a 10x12' gazebo, but more expensive and more upkeep...

Okay peeps, I have read a few forums. Seems people love the sun sails. One a couple of pictures are shown. Unfortunately I have not seen one set up, so I can't quite wrap my thoughts around how much they shade. Here's the deal, I am looking at a 16x16x16 or 16x22x16 triangle to add to the...

So the question is...now that I have my concrete done and most of the leaves have been in and out of the pool...What's the point of a cover if I have a fence around it(installed this week). Do you have one? My problem is that I would hate to drill 20 holes in the concrete. The other option...

Hey all, got the new pool just about finished. Been having pump problems nearly from day one. We have a VS Hayward SP3200VSP with the controls wired into a Hayward Pro-Logic control panel all with a Hayward Salt Cell and DE filter. So, after the first pump crapped out in the first couple of...

Entrance steps....they are 8 feet, nothing fancy. Didn't know I had an option. Family is right handed if it makes a difference. So is yours....? Right Left Middle.

Can't find standing water or breeding grounds, but they are tearing us up! What methods have you used with success around your pool area?

They have done a lot of work in just 2 days. Our 20x35 Grecian SWG sport pool is on the way.

Starting the build yesterday...on our way. (Can't show pics since I reached my limit??!?) Anyway, we have to decide on a slide so they can put the plumbing in the right spot. We wanted to wait till next year, but they my other half raised the question....do we really need one. Do you have...

All, thanks again. Is a 2-speed Hayward Tri-Star pump worth the $500-$600 up charge over a Hayward Tri-Star 1.85 pump? Sure I have seen what the paperwork says...but really? What's the difference in electric? This is for a 20x35 grecian. 4-5-4.

Thanks for everyone's help. We chose a pool and dig starts in 2weeks. Firm drawings this Friday. What we got: 20x35 grecian 4 - 5 1/2' - 4' sport bottom 900' of sandstone color stamped concrete (no high gloss slippery stuff) 12' in step end, 8' on left side, 4' opposite from steps and side...

Thanks all for the help. Was just offered $6 a square foot for colored stamped concrete, which now puts another small but possible good wrench into my decision making. There would be roughly 850-900 square feet around a 20x35' Grecian salt water pool. Thoughts on stamped concrete with a...

Okay, I have 3 good bids for pool. They all have good reviews, etc. For a family of 3, including a 3 year old. I want to get the best for her...and her friends. We want to be the hangout place. But not sure what vinyl pool to get. First note, this is a simple set up, no sun decks, jets, spas...

Here is the deal. In research I find lots of post from years ago, not today. So, here is what we are looking at. We are putting in a 17'x34' rectangle pool. NO diving board. Pool builders are pushing sport pool. Never been in one, never seen one. All around here in East TN is deep end. When I...
