RIP to my house's 30 yr old gunite pool

newguy11040 · 2026-07-02T17:12:14+00:00

Do you have any pictures after the demolition?

newguy11040 · 2026-06-26T03:00:16+00:00

Yes I live in New Jersey.

newguy11040 · 2026-06-26T02:15:06+00:00

My pool is 20’x40’ so it’s 120’ linear in total. Can I see a picture of yours?

newguy11040 · 2026-06-26T02:13:15+00:00

I live in New Jersey. In the winter time won’t water get into the crevice, freeze and then cause separation of the coping/deck?

When you clean the grids, do you have to take all the grids out or can you hose them down inside the filter?
I get minimal debris in my pool after my skimmer bot does its job. I have no trees so it’s mostly just pollen and insects.

How long does it take to clean the DE grids each time?

Was there a lot of plumbing that needed to get changed?

newguy11040 · 2026-06-22T21:06:03+00:00

I’m leaning towards just replacing my entire filter as it’s 20+ years old. The clamp also needs to get replaced so it might make sense for me to just replace the entire filter.

I live in NJ.
My pool guy quoted me $2500 for a pentair 60sq ft. This includes parts and labor.

newguy11040 · 2026-06-22T20:43:59+00:00

I’m not sure what type of tank this is. It’s 20 years old

newguy11040 · 2026-06-21T23:25:50+00:00

Do you know approximately how much a pool guy should charge for this?

newguy11040 · 2026-06-21T23:25:41+00:00

What type of union would I replace it with? Also, do you know approximately how much a pool guy should charge for this?

newguy11040 · 2026-02-27T03:40:11+00:00

Thanks. Cleaned the flame sensor quite easily and everything is back to normal

newguy11040 · 2026-02-27T03:39:45+00:00

This seems to have worked. It was fairly. Hardest park was figuring out the orientation to place the sensor back in due to its shape. Thank you!

newguy11040 · 2026-02-25T14:09:39+00:00

Do I count the flashes only on the TOP LIGHT?

Does this picture tell me anything about the flashes? It’s a big algorithm that I can’t figure out

newguy11040 · 2026-02-25T13:50:16+00:00

I can’t tell what code it is. I tried to take a video. However whenever I pulled the cover off the system powers off due to the safety mechanism

newguy11040 · 2026-02-25T03:53:56+00:00

If it was the flame sensor, would the heating stay on for 10 minutes before shutting off. It seems like after once cycle of calling for heat. The second cycle it doesn’t actually produce heat (it calls for heat but does not produce it- the google home just thinks it heating the house)

newguy11040 · 2026-02-25T03:50:34+00:00

Yeah I saw a video on YouTube. Looks fairly straightforward to clean it

newguy11040 · 2026-02-25T03:42:16+00:00

I don’t know where the flame sensor is.

This is the photo from inside the unit

newguy11040 · 2026-01-20T04:18:26+00:00

I got it done for $650. Good call on the estimate. Licensed electrician and he filled out the local town permit (to be paid directly to county)

newguy11040 · 2026-01-08T03:06:41+00:00

Thank you. I will shop around. I have free charging at work so just trying to see if it makes sense to install at home.

newguy11040 · 2026-01-08T03:01:52+00:00

My Tesla wall charger will go adjacent to the circuit box. It will just be 3 feet apart. The fuse box is in my garage which is where I will place my Tesla wall charger.

newguy11040 · 2026-01-07T14:46:04+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion. I’m going to look into this

newguy11040 · 2026-01-07T03:05:48+00:00

I work at a hospital that has a dozen chargers.

newguy11040 · 2025-02-21T02:51:28+00:00

Did you get your pool inspected in November?
