New Pool Owner - Diving Board Help Please

[4shaw]

Hello,

New Forum member and new pool owner. Trying to figure out what my options are to get this diving board up and running.

Looked on the intranet but could not find this model available anymore.

Hardware parts including spring are a little rusty but not in bad shape. The board looks like it needs replacing because it is exposed on the back and looks like there could be some damage.

Are there any replacement boards for this model? Any options?

Appreciate any help or suggestions.

Thanks

I don't have any insight on that board though I highly suspect you will not be able to find a direct replacement board. I do know that SR Smith is probably the largest maker of residential diving boards. Though they likely wouldn't be interested in helping source something for that mount. However, Inyo Pools gets good marks for helpfulness. They do sell boards and may try to assist.

But maybe someone here will also recognize that installation and have further input.

Thanks. Will try contacting Inyo.

There are two holes that are 12" apart in the back and then one more hole where the front spring is 30" forward. Have found some replacement boards that have the 12" spread such as the Frontier iii but no hole up front.

-Can you drill your own holes? Or will this introduce a potential for water damage or other integrity issues.
-The holes that are currently in the board go into and not through the board. The replacement boards I have seen all have holes that go through the entire board.
-Would this be an issue? Thought this might actually be more secure. Less spring, but more secure?

Call around the larger pool stores in your area and ask for a plain board. Most of them will have holes pre-drilled but some may be blanks. This worked for me about 10 years ago.
