It is a 1.5 inch on both ends.

So I started trying to decide about changing my filter and ultimately decided to try harder this year with my chemistry instead of plunging into changing a filter and spending all of that $. So as I was inspecting my pool and getting ready to open it I realized that a two way valve and pipe was...

I had a thermistor prob too, didn't much matter for heat but it sure did for freeze protection, had to replace it, luckily was under warranty as it was only a few months old. Ha you had me hooked 187, I thought wow I could cook a hotdog in his pool :shock:

:bump: Anyone have these on their fiberglass?

So I was out at the pool and I came across this crack in the fiberglass by the seats on the deep end. It is hairline at best doesn't seem to move when I touch around it. Should I try sealing it with something? edited sorry forgot the pic!

When I was in SC I ran my jets and fountains at night during the coolest part, my pool was always 8 degrees less then everyone elses!

I myself am wanting a slide in my pool, I have a second house that has one turbotwister and the kids loved it. I was able to take all my equipment as new owners don't want pool but alas the slide is curved the wrong way and way to large for the little pool I now have. So I'm planning on making...

Wow that is awesome it looks brand new!

They last a little longer if you put them in a rubbermaid container outside when you are done using them.

Loads of skimming here for the past month, my vacuum wasn't working so it was brush and skim, brush and skim, now I got a new cart but I can't help myself......brush and skim, but the skim part isn't hardly yielding anymore.

Congrats!

Re: Leak Detection help needed I had a leak co come out on a pool in SC after a new build, but the pb refused to pay it cost me 325.00, why such a price difference?

A whole lot of nothing that I can do about it. He came out 2x to "fix" them, then claimed it was a manufacturer issue and never heard from him again. They didn't leak a lot, 2 of them didn't leak at all, it may have very well had to do with the pitch of the concrete and how the jet was placed...

I had the ones that mount flush on my pool in SC. My biggest complaint is that they leaked a little. Hard to say if it was an installation or equipment issue. I used the 3 stream almost all of the time it was the least offensive for those swimming in the pool when they were on. They are easily...

The guide says it helps to keep the algae you are filtering from setting into the cartridge and allows for better cleaning and longer cart life, its not for sanitizing, sorry I was unclear on my last post. bacterial or microbial not sure I would need to look again. I just know I need at least...

So I am on a no win battle with my pool as one of 2 of my carts is bad and I need a new one. Question: I saw some carts that are more $ that tote "antibacterial" is this something that would be worth the extra$ or just an expensive colored cart? Anyone use one?

I have the expensive intelliflo pump which is variable speed. It was supposed to be cost efficient but with the prices soaring by 40% I'm looking for alternatives.

I have searched the topics and seen alot of people using solar to heat their pool but what about powering their pool? Has anyone set up a solar system to power the pump filter etc? Electricity just skyrocketed here and it is costing me 50$+ a month to run my pool. Was wondering if there is an...

I have been getting prices for my freeform fiberglass pool also. The estimates were around 3200$. Ridiculous of you ask me. I decided to just cover it with a rectangular mesh safety cover from in the swim. It is 699$. I can't see any major issues with why I have to do AB measurements and buy...

I bought the 4x160 (3050) intelliflo for my new pb. Mostly for electrical savings but also for functionality. I purchased it from saveonpoolsupplies.com which is a subsidiary of in the swim. They have a four month same as cash payment plan that was a big help to me. :-D

Yes I bought my pool slide and my pump from them. I got really good deals and same as cash for 4 months. Basically they broke my payment down over 4 months at no charge essentially. They are a subsidiary of In The Swim.

I'm putting the turbotwister slide in my new pb and it costed about 2300$. Ridiculous I know but In the swim had a same as cash 4 month payoff so it didn't hurt all at once. There are a lot of self made ones that are even more money.

A 2.19 lock in would have been great in SC. We're at 3.40 gallon :? :(

I'm looking to purchase umbrella sockets to put in my concrete to accept umbrellas around my pool. I've seen a few pools with them but cannot find them anywhere. Any ideas?

I would do a search on the threads here for SWGS. There is a wealth of info on this site about personal experience with many of these systems. Look under the equipment heading. There is an allocated section just for swgs. That will help you come up with some more specific questions and maybe...

I have had similar questions about the pump/swg/automation system. I am not however putting a cleaning system but have 4 water sprays I would like to control without constantly going to the pump system to do so. I was thinking of adding a easytouch/intellitouch????system(not sure which). I've...

Hey Calvin, I started a new thread in the pool building section. My very first pic as the before is there. I'll keep everyone posted as we move along. I know it really helped me to see everyone elses!
