    So, I have a 22,327gal pool that I built (with massive help from TFP) 6yrs ago. My CYA level was way too high so I drained the pool and power-washed the Pebble with chlorine in the soap dispenser. Went through 2 gallons. Then I replaced all 5 of the Glowbrights - with Glowbrights (don't...

    When should we start contacting PBs for quotes?

    What is considered a “subbed” contractor? For my pool build all of the major phases of my build, the contractors were licensed and insured. The plumbers, excavation, electrical, tile, and plaster. Plus they would return to fix something if needed. I had issues and they came and resolved...
