advice needed

Hi everyone! 👋 We have an older vinyl liner pool with a history of issues — specifically, water getting behind the liner. The liner was just removed, and it looks like water was likely entering through the gap between the pool wall and the surrounding concrete decking. Here’s what we’re...

So as stated in the title, I highly suspect a leak happening in my above ground pool. About 4 weeks after a late in the year closing, I noticed that the water level in my pool seemed lower than where it was following closing. It was still unseasonably warm for the next month, so I hoped that...

working on a 137k BTU comfortemp heat pump. No display despite proper power input. Capacitors and transformer have been tested by a qualified HVAC technician. No clue why the display does not come on. A quick search on Google confirmed that at least a few others have experienced out of box...

For virtually the same price, would you recommend I go with an all Jandy or all Hayward package for a brand new pool?! Notes: 1. I’ve never owned a pool 2. I’m pretty DIY savvy and prefer that to endless service calls. I actually chose Z-Wave instead of Control-4 for smart home because I don’t...

Our old sentry has been unfortunately out of commission for several years now due to a bad heater element tripping the breaker. Unfortunately, everything compatible has been out of stock for a decade. Either the element (part #6500-216) or the stainless steel retrofit (6500-495) would work. If...

Good Morning, I’ve been a long time lurker as I’ve been planning on building a pool for a long time. We finally got our pool plans and they just look wrong. I was hoping for anyone’s input on the design and plans. Thank you.

Hello! We are in the process of building our pool. Our plaster will be PebbleSheen Blue Granite. Under the grotto and the in-pool table, there are small ledges that I’d like to add edge tile to avoid stubbed toes. I love the look of these 1x1 glass tiles and was thinking of doing them every 6...

Hi, I have read only good things about Aquabright - but only up until 2019 or so. Does anyone have some experience with longer usage? Will it last 10 years (or more?) I am seriously considering it for a concrete pool built in 2020 which has been painted twice already - last time to disastrous...

Hi! We are doing an owner build in Las Vegas and receiving conflicting info on the number of skimmers we need. The pool is going to be ~ 600 sq ft (~16,000 gallons). Excavation, shotcrete, and plaster subs are saying two skimmers and plumber and designer are saying one skimmer. Thoughts...
