installation

Hey folks, I just bought an Intex Ultra pool " 16' X 32' X 52" and I have had to set it up, do the ground work, leveling, etc EVERYTHING by myself, which makes things tough because if i had some help, maybe i could have do better with someone that has set one up before, anyways, mostly...

I am replacing my 18’ Intex pool with a 16’ Intex pool in a perfectly level spot. I have 20 x 20’ of really heavy duty Astroturf I want to lay under the pool both for cushion and weed control at the edges. I have a round gorilla pool mat I am going to put on top of that as well. My question is...

Hello everyone, I've decided to open the pool on my own this year. Last year, the maintenance professional I hired detached the pool pump motor, and now I'm a bit uncertain about where to reattach a few parts. The model of the motor is C48K2N143B3. It's part of a 25,000-gallon vinyl pool setup...

I have a quick question. I am putting a new steel wall vinyl liner inground pool in my backyard and I am trying to map out the pipes and conduits and have a question about pool junction boxes..... I understand that I need to have one because the pool has 1 light, but my question is about the...

Hello everyone. I got it in my head to put an inground pool in my house, and I was lucky to find this group....I am hoping someone can guide me on what to use to backfill around the walls (I purchased a steel wall vinyl liner inground pool) . I am attempting to price out the installation cost ...

I am replacing A 1.5hp 220 pump. Hayward control box(timer and pump speeds). I am installing a powerextremeusa pump. It has a low, common and high connection. The controller box has 4 wires. Green ground, black and red loads and orange. My question is what goes where ? I want to control ether...

I just wanted to update that we ordered our new ABG pool! After the horrible tragedy of our pool collapsing a month ago, we have really missed our pool. I'm treating the pool site and 2 ft around it with Sedge grass killer as I did with the previous pool. Thankfully we already have our ladder...

After hemming and hawing on the pool location we finally settled to push the pool further away from the porch. My neighbor used his backhoe to dig out roughly 34" on the high side. For those who are interested, the installer would have charged $25/inch after 4". I have a 3' perimeter around...

We just bought and are 75% finished installing a 18’8” I text pool. There is 14” of water in it. I notice a small area while installing side panel slats that there was a little bit of water between the liner and the tarp. All other areas that could still be checked were fine. The area the water...

Hi there! I’m renovating my new home in Palm Springs, CA, which came with an in-ground pool (gunnite) but no spa/hot tub. We’re looking to add an in-ground spa and wanted to keep it separate from the pool for aesthetic reasons (the existing pool is kind of an oblong pill shape and it would look...

I’m currently in the process of having a fiberglass pool installed. The pool is in the ground and running, thanks to a lot of information from this site. We are expecting the deck and cantilever coping to be poured within the next week. After speaking with the concrete contractor I realized...

Hi all -- I've purchased a Hayward HeatPro 47,000 (HP50HA) that I plan to install myself [using a real electrician to run electric]. My question is: how far from the pool I can install it? Below is a poor visual that shows my situation. The pool pump is in rather plain sight between the pool...

So i we have just about made it through our first winter. My wife swims every morning. and i mean every morning. she was out there in snow storms, ice storms and temperatures in the teens. We keep the pool at 83 and she warms it up to 85 about an hour or two before going out to swim and let’s it...

So I live in SW Florida with a south-facing roof that gets prime sun exposure for most of the day. For that reason I'm strongly considering solar panels on my roof to heat the pool and extend my swimming season to as close to year round as possible. I've gotten a few quotes from different...

I just got a 21 foot steel AGP after having a 22 ft intex soft side for 6 years that finally died. I getting ready to set up the new steel pool and I know it comes with the skimmer and one oulet hole pre-cut. I want to add another hole for a light and another hole to use on a fountain I added to...

I will add photos to this post as soon as the sun comes up tomorrow, but I wanted to post my question sooner rather than later. The installation of our waterline and spa tile started today and I'm hoping for a reality check on my expectations for how perfectly 1" x 1" glass tile can/should be...

Hi all - I am converting to a SWCG and per the advice from the great folks on this site I am staying with Pentair due to the automation and remote capabilities possible integrating with my existing ET controller w/ScreenLogic2. I have an iChlor SWCG with the additional Intellichlor power center...

We used the TFP method a couple of years ago on a larger temporary above ground pool. We never tried any other methods and never had any trouble at all. Our cheap pool got older and we decided we needed a larger above ground pool. We weren't crazy about doing business with our local pool store...

Hello, I have found places that sell fiberglass pools and a cheap price but its DIY. I dont know the first place to start to getting this done. Do pool companies install without it being their pool? Im in red oak tx 75154. Do anyone know who could install/excavate this fiberglass pool for my home?
