Perhaps my terminology is incorrect. I have the anchor and I want to set it up for the concrete people to pour around it. They say that the pool builder set these up for them and I am building my own pool. https://srsmith.com/en-us/products/parts-and-accessories/4-bronze-anchor-190-od/

I bought some brass escutcheons for my pool deck for use with poles for a volleyball net. Any tips on how to set and level them prior to a concrete pour so they are level with the pool deck; and will be stable enough for the concrete finishers to not move them? Much Thanks,

Hi, Just putting my conduit runs in for my lights. THe lights are at 14" below wall height. How high should I come up close to ground level to keep water out of most of the run. Assuming skimmer depth of 4 inches below wall I was thinking 2 inches? The conduit runs are home run back to...

Thanks. There doesn't seem to be too much info on installing the conduit from the lights. I have 3 lights and they are all home run to the panel. From what I can gather, they will come out the back, 90 straight up and then run a couple inches below the bottom of the concrete above the...

Hi, building a 48 inch wall 32X16 steel walled sports pool with 4' - 5.5' - 4' depth in a kidney configuration. I am curious what is recommendation for the depth of the niche light to be installed. I have heard that same as the return which is near the surface, but not sure what is best. I...

Sorry, Steel Wall Vinyl Lined sports pool

For those who don't have a metal ladder, and don't have metal pool light niches; what is the preferred way of bonding the pool water as per NEC 680.26(C) ?

Hi, PB is recommending backfill of steel walled vinyl inground pool with sand. Most recommendations I have seen have been for 3/4 inch clean rock. There isn't alot of discussion I can find on using sand, except for fibreglass pools. Is sand a good choice? Why or why not? We are in an area...

So I dug the profile before wall erection as the PB wanted some crush down as a base. Curious if I can fully dig the area between the shelf and the hopper prior to putting up the walls and if so, should it just be a straight line or convex/concave slightly?

Hi, When I sprayed the overdig for my pool, I sprayed 2 foot. Since the walls are not exactly plumb straight down, I have somewhere between 1 to 1.5 feet at the bottom grade instead of the requisite 2 feet. Do I need to dig this all out to 2 feet+ around the entire perimeter, or can I just...

5.5 feet is from the top of wall. So about 5 feet water.

Hi, just a question about main drains. Is there an issue having main drains in a vinyl liner sport pool where the center is only 5.5' deep. I am worried mostly that people will stand on them. PB thinks I should have them and I agree; but not sure if recommendations are different for shallower...

Hi, I am building a steel wall inground sport pool. I am having a PB come in to build the walls, pool bottom and collar. The pool bottom will be concrete. The PB has recommended I overexcavate 2 inches and put in 2 inches of crush rock as a base for setting the walls and the concrete bottom...

Yes that's Correct. Only about a 15000 gallon pool. How do people usually go about laying out the pool (finding points a,b,c,d and others)? Do the just measure to two points with masons string and drop a plumb; or is there a better way.

Hi, not sure what you mean? Did the deep end before or after erecting walls?

Hi, We are building a kidney shape sport pool. Depth goes from 48" to 64" to 48" starting at 7 feet from each end of the 32"X18" pool with 2 feet in the middle at max depth. It seems overly difficult to try to determine exactly where the slope and deep part should be without having the pool...

Hi, We are building a pool and the excavation area includes the location of our Septic Tank that was recently decommissioned. The tank will be removed during excavation. It is located where our shallow end will be (48" steel wall vinyl liner pool). The tank is plastic and currently extends...
