:bump: I'm not really sure. Can you post a picture showing where this is on the slide? I'm can't really tell what I'm looking at.

Welcome! My in-laws live there...miserably hot in the summer! It's worse than Arizona.

Welcome to TFP! You may very well be the first Nigerian member we've had on here. Please to post pictures of your build!

Welcome to TFP! Unless your pool is gigantic, that number is waaayyy too high. If that includes new plaster it sounds reasonable.

You're actually going to try the plastic sheet method!? That's the stuff of legends...please post pictures! :mrgreen:

Welcome to TFP! :wave: Those two pumps are the same. Have you considered getting solar heat? Pools in San Diego never get warm enough for me...but coming from Seattle you might be used to that! Feel free to post the details of the bids and we'll look 'em over for you.

Re: Reviews of epool Game 4817 and other wireless temp monit Sounds familiar :) Good luck!

Re: Reviews of epool Game 4817 and other wireless temp monit Hopefully it will work well for you! A bunch of us tried a similar one a couple years ago, and I think water always ended up getting inside the floater and ruining it :( At least that's what happened with mine.

Welcome to TFP! Can you post a picture of the valve in question? If we can identify the manufacturer, a quick call to them or search for the manual should answer your question. Why are you replacing the valve? Usually it's just the gear mechanisms that wear out, and those are pretty easy to...

What is this "book of faces" :scratch: :mrgreen:

Oh, so it's too big and not too small? Can we see a wider view? I'm still having a hard time picturing your reverse radius... :?

Nice! Is that snow in the picture?

Guesstimations aren't really OK, because you'll get a wild guesstimate of volume, which won't do you any good! Geaux Tigers

Congrats on a simple, successful season! Looking forward to having you back next year. :goodjob:

Very nice! That last picture is a bit frightening. Did you have a lot of trouble getting the pool cleaned up?

Any chance of some pictures of that pool? Those shade sails are awesome - I wish my HOA wasn't so grumpy.

:bump: Welcome to TFP! I know we have members in Dallas, but I don't remember seeing any mention of specific subs used, and no owner-builders that I can recall.

Welcome! Glad we were able to help before, even if you forgot all about us!

Getting your own test kit will help you immensely. The TF-100 (link in my sig) is the best value out there... No, there aren't any other dangers with high pH. Rain and tap water are nowhere near acidic enough to make a difference in your pH...using muriatic acid (liquid) is best, but the dry...

I would be surprised if simply sealing it would work. Even it it did, the roughness of the surface would be hard on your feet and the little holes would be perpetually full of dirt. I think a standard vinyl pool would work the best in your situation. A thicker liner would help with the dogs.

Also, you will need a "liner" of some kind (vinyl, plaster, etc) to keep water in the pool. Concrete by itself is not watertight.

We have a few members around here who have built them...Duraleigh (concrete block w/ vinyl liner)and solarboy (used blocks to form then poured walls) come to mind. Hopefully they'll see this and stop by. Welcome to TFP!

Welcome to TFP!

They just look cool. Pricey though. We haven't had all that many members (I only remember one) install the water treadmills, so please keep us updated as you go forward!

Here's an old thread: whats-behind-the-name-t5838.html

Woody, I wouldn't bother with it; my experience with GardenWeb (both on the pool and cactus/succulent forums) is that it's swamped with ads (even including occasional transparent ads that are beneath the posts themselves!!) and uses utterly obsolete forum software. Not that there's not good...

:shock: :whip:

Welcome to TFP!

Welcome to TFP! Congrats on your hole in one (I presume)! I hit one to six inches my very first time playing golf, but haven't come that close since.

Will you be using the heater only for the spa, or to heat the entire pool? How far along are you in the replaster process? What issue(s) have you encountered? There are some plaster experts around here that can help you out in terms of what to expect, etc. As for the heat pumps, there are...
