Thank you very much for the reply!

Hello TFP, this is my first post over in this section. Sorry if this post goes in a few different directions, but I'm trying to diagnose an issue here. One year ago this month, we filled our newly built plaster pool. This is our second plaster pool, so I'm somewhat familiar with pool upkeep...

Do owner builder if you can... its really not that bad!

Glad the gunite went well! It looks like they did a nice job! @AQUA~HOLICS @ajw22 @Newdude all helped tremendously on my build as well. As a side note, I really appreciate your formatting and grammar. It makes it so much easier to read through a thread when everything is neat and organized!

No worries.... As I sit out by my pool as I type this, I honestly can't imagine having the deep end off the swim deck. Perhaps if the goal is so people can comfortably stand next to the spa, you could put in a shelf to stand on or a bench to sit on along it. That of course doesn't solve your...

Looks nice! Something to think about.... It seems backwards to me to have the deep end off the tanning ledge. We spend most of our time either on the tanning ledge or in the shallow end. I feel like its really nice to go back and forth easily. I can't imagine having to swim over to the...

Very cool build! What town are you in PR? I lived in Condado for a year and visited pretty much every small town on the island.

Just and FYI - I bought and installed 4 of those CMP deck jets you posted. ALL four of them leaked at the ball/swivel connection. Its a cheap plastic on plastic joint. Its not a large leak, but about 1 drop out of the bottom of the unit every 10 seconds, which was enough to bother me. The...

What do you mean the sheer wall is leaking? Pictures will definitely help with this one.

That's some great info! I've been curious about this as well as I just filled my new build in Las Vegas about two months ago. One of my neighbors uses a small undersink RO system to refill his pool. He uses the waste line to water plants. I was interested in the RO system as well, but his...

Small updates - We added salt and I installed the SWG after 5 weeks. Everything is working great so far and we're extremely happy with the pool. We had some artificial turf installed around it last weekend. Next - Outdoor kitchen,, fire feature, and more landscaping! At least we have...

Hi all, I've read numerous threads on salt brands and have figured out it really doesn't matter as long as it's pure. I saw this Culligan salt at Costco. It's pretty inexpensive. It does have something called Sofner-Guard. I didn't see any info on Culligan website and there is non on the bag...

Lots of reasons... The screen and buttons on pump are clunky and the buttons/interface aren't the best. Kasa wifi app is about as easy as it gets. I use my sheer as my main return, but I like to turn it off when its windy so it doesn't blow everywhere. I don't want to walk to my pump every...

Trying to remotely turn on/off a Pentair VSF 011056 pump with a wifi 120v switch. I have the cannon plug/pigtail wire that came with the pump. On a typical setup with automation and a panel, is it just a simple 120v trigger that turns the pump on/off? Or does it step the voltage down for the...

Pool finaled and permit closed. Feels good to have that behind us. Supposed to be 100 this weekend so looking forward to using the pool! Now, onto other projects...

Many reasons - Kasa app is much more user friendly than the screen on the pump. I usually run my sheer as a return, and it's nice to turn it off via phone if it's windy outside. It's easier to sync the Kasa controlled SWG with the app. Curious, why was my thread moved? It seems like when a new...

I have a 011056 VSF and I'd like to turn it on and off remotely but I don't have Pentair automation. I can use a wifi or bluetooth switch, so I'd essentially have a 110v trigger wire. Is there an input terminal direct to the pump that will turn it on/off? Thanks!

Thank you for the info. I'm just finishing up my build and used your advice for my lights. How are you controlling your 220v with a Kasa? Are you using a relay? Thanks

Well, we have a pool!! Got our pre-plaster inspection on Wednesday, then plaster Saturday 4/15. That puts us at 11 weeks since we broke ground! The weather was perfect for plaster - 78 degrees and no wind. We started filling it Saturday afternoon and it was full by 230am on Sunday. Total...
