Possible New Pool In Central FL

Where are the pumps leaking from? If from the lid over the basket right in front of the pump make sure there is some lube on the big o-ring inside the lid.
Have him take them apart and do it again. I THINK there is a gasket or such in there. sigh.............
Yeah they submitted it to warranty with pentair so we will see but it's annoying
Ok I need some help on the bubbler issue. The gunite company is being difficult to get on site and claim they have never seen this issue before so they don't know how to fix it. I think the only way to fix this issue is to chip everything out and raise the bubbler and level it out then fill it back in.
Does the hole have to be filled back in with gunite or could concrete be poured in there to fill it up? Worried about voids with gunite unless the repair channel was big enough.
Thoughts or ideas on the repair and concrete?

Chip it out and raise it then patch with bonding agent amd high strength concrete. That's one of the most unpleasant jobs to do in the concrete pool world so keep an eye on whomever does it. The electrical conduit is easy, the horizontal pvc is gonna be a real pain to fix now
Is this something a DIYer could do themselves? I'm trying to get the gunite company to fix this but they keep skirting the question The horizontal PVC will suck especially since the rebar got bent and I'm not sure of the PVC could be raised (racking my head on this one). My other idea was to try to grind the gunite down around the bubbler to try to get a gentle slope and leave the bubbler where it is.
Here is a picture of the bent rebar the guys cause during gunite

I wouldnt recommend it. This is a finesse situation the bubblers should have been propped up and secure for the shoot at the right elevation. Theres a few crucial things to look out for during a shoot the plumbing is at the top of the list
Well for the first time the gunite company admitted there was an issue and also admitted they need to fix it. They're supposed to be out Monday to evaluate it and see if there is any other option rather than chipping everything out. Pool builders our here are so swamped right now I think the owner was overwhelmed especially with his partner being out due to Covid.
Fingers crossed they come through and fix this (although I am withholding partial payment untill they do to cover myself).
Sadly our automation panel is a special order and won't be here for another week

Well I haven't posted for a while because we have officially hit a stall..... 2 of the 3 sheers are backordered with an unknown date, automation panel was supposed to ship 8/31 has an unknown date. Still working the bubbler issue but going to attempt an epoxy fix for it however, when I reached out to the LDS crew for help since the gunite company was ghosting me they discovered they ran a 1" sweep off the bottom and not the 1.5" the instructions call for so I need to get the bubbler ran 1st to ensure this isn't going to cause an issue before I can try the epoxy and then pressure test it to ensure it holds.
Also stalled because we're trying to find someone to build a retaining wall but the quotes have came in a lot higher than we were expecting.
This is fun.....

Anyone have any recommendations for a window alarms? Looking for something cheap buy they have to comply to UL2017
Alright need some advice since we're approaching the wall being done. We've had quite a bit of weed growth in our fill dirt for the backfill on tbe patio (will be under pavers). Do I need to kill these weeds before moving the dirt around or will it be ok?
Hey, that looks familiar. Looks good pal. If those weeds are big, I'd pull them. If small, you can use a butane torch on them.
NICE progress!! That tile looks as straight as can be!!
Weeds="hot" round up at my house. Better safe than sorry!
