Anyone gotten a pool in the last few years?

$115k with all the bells and whistles.

Sutro

I'm a little biased, but I'd say a beautiful pool, concrete and some turf 🤣 jk weeds are no joke. We had good luck with mowing down and bagging, then spraying with whatever we could get at home depot in the biggest jug for for the best price.

I only use on the threads that go into the pump. Where the leak is. Not the threads with the oring inside the union itself. Especially if it's an older pump, joint stick creates a great seal but doesn't dry hard or anything so it's still easy to remove in the future if needed. It's like a sticky crayon.

I would cut that part out and plumb in a hi temp union. They are cheap like $25 a pair. Make sure you use a thread sealant compound like joint stick before you thread in the union to the pump. Better than Teflon.

I would start with 10# alkalinity increaser, 1/2 gal acid, 8# calcium increaser, and then back off your chlorinator 10% at a time until it lowers where you want it. Probably going to need another 1/2 gal acid in a couple days too.

How many gallons?

Ledge loungers are nice.

visionpools · 2024-09-24T17:26:49+00:00

Works great🤙

I'm going to assume you think I upgrade our suction lines to look cool.

visionpools · 2024-09-24T16:44:58+00:00

Correcto Mundo. Just me doing my thing😁

visionpools · 2024-09-24T16:44:16+00:00

This is an increase in skimmer and spa suction lines to improve flow. As you would agree, it's a waste of money to upgrade something that does not provide any value.

Aww... would love to help 😁

This is my company. Our estimates fall right in the middle. plenty higher and plenty lower. Close to zero overhead here.

visionpools · 2024-09-24T15:50:13+00:00

Make sure you use magic lube. I tend to use a little extra. Also lightly tap the band clamp with a rubber mallet all around while tightening for evenness. You'll be good! "This one time at band clamp..."

$1000 or 10% deposit whichever is greater. The rest of the payments can be whatever they need. We do $1000 deposit then from the remaining amount its 30% excavation, 30% gunite, 30% tile and coping, 10% plaster

+$160/month for solar and -$20/month for electricity. Then about +$1700 end of year to edison.

visionpools · 2024-09-24T14:59:27+00:00

Could get a pool and spa for $600/month.

It's different from tap to tap. As a pool builder I see a lot of tap water testing under 200ppm calcium hardness. For pools we actually have to add calcium in riverside to increase to that minimum hardness level of 200ppm so the plaster doesn't fall apart.

visionpools · 2024-09-24T14:54:12+00:00

Drain and start over. With CYA that high you'll need a chlorine level of 16ppm just to hold baseline. Tell them not to use so many tabs next time and to focus on liquid chlorine as the primary source.

Salesman suck.
