Hello all! We have just moved into a house with a new 16x34 ft in-ground pool with a vinyl liner. We live in Canada so there was significant amounts of snow and ice, so we could not fully examine the pool before buying the house. We knew that the vinyl liner was quite old, and needed to be...

Hi All, We finally decided it's time to start reaching out to PBs to get some quotes for a pool build. COVID put things on hold, but we're looking to get something started within the next 8-12 months if all goes well. I'm hoping that some TFP'ers from the Austin and surrounding areas might be...

I'm trying to build a case to get the camp I work for to invest in a SWG system for our pool here in the middle of the desert. Currently, I'm experiencing about 4ppm of FC loss per day (from about 9 after adding down to about 5), which given the pool's volume of 25,000 gallons, equates to about...

I'm reviewing my preferred builder's proposal / quote - and was able to research all of the equipment pricing just to see how much / if he was marking it up. Everything seems to be reasonable except the spa jets. He doesn't have them broken out in the Equipment line item and I couldn't find a...

Hi all! I am going to be getting a pool installed in the spring. We're still in the planning phases and going over all of the options... We live at the bottom of a hill, so to do an inground pool right, we would have to do a retaining wall. We are located in Pennsylvania, and the first quote we...
