Do you have to have a concrete footing underneath the lip for the weight on the edge of the fibreglass pool?
@floridapoolman53762 күн бұрын
@@TraceyHetier Always consult with the manufacturer for their recommendation. However, I highly recommend putting concrete under the lip. It should be at least 12 inches wide and 6 inches thick. The wider the better though.

gorgeous work. Blends in perfectly with the blue pool tile. is it safe to put so much weight around the rim of the pool? My neighbor was going to have something like this done and they told him it could cause cracking??
@floridapoolman53769 күн бұрын
@@jayviz thank you for your comments and for watching our videos. Prior to installing the pavers, we pour a concrete collar around the pool. The collar is approximately 3 feet wide by 6 inches thick with wire mesh. The concrete helps stabilize the pool and acts as a support for the water feature. If the foundation is built properly then you won’t have any cracking

@@floridapoolman5376 thank you again for sharing your knowledge. now I am really bummed because it doesn't appear that I can ever add a water feature due to weight on the rim. I'm guessing my pool was built like my neighbor's because as far as I know neither one of us has a special concrete collar around it. Just a concrete deck, covered by cool deck ☹️ but thank you again for the great videos I really admire your craftsmanship.

I know the cool deck bullnose overlaps by about an inch and a half at the coping area, but I don't know how thick it is. I guess I can chisel through it and find out? What am I looking for?

@floridapoolman53766 күн бұрын
@@jayviz typically the deck should be around 4”-6” thick. Most builders do not add any reinforcing steel. Hopefully they used a fiber mesh for strength. If the job was done properly then the concrete should be at least 4” and extend under the pool shell overlap. If so then you should have enough support for the new feature. You will need to cut into the concrete to run the new plumbing. When you make your cuts, you can confirm the thickness. If the builder was half decent then you should be Ok. Please keep me posted on your progress. I wish you the best

@@sidneyblackwelder3540 in certain cases that is correct, however with a paver deck, using rock backfill could create settlement within the pool deck. That’s why we use a combination of materials for backfill.

@floridapoolman53766 күн бұрын
@@sidneyblackwelder3540 Any deck is good. The main thing to focus on is the proper compaction of the backfill. If you used alot of rock for the backfill then I would suggest using a layer of sand to fill the voids in the rock. That will help minimize any settlement. If you add this step then you can use any type of decking material. Be sure to water wash the sand so it gets into all of the voids. Proper compaction is key to a solid deck. Unfortunately for me, I learned this lesson the hard way

How do you repair the gravity feed valves if they will not close?
@floridapoolman537610 ай бұрын
Unfortunately there isn't an easy way to do it. You will need to plug the main drain outlets. And skimmers if applicable, then drain the tank. The valves should pull off the gravity line. (hopefully they haven't been glued to the pipe) At that point you can disassemble the valves and make the necessary repairs. Ultimately I find replacing the valves with new valves turns out to be the best and most efficient method. Over time the rubber gaskets wear out or if the valves have threads then the metal will oxidize. I tend to go the replacement route. The tank should have the manufacturer's information on it. The manufacturer can also help with replacement parts or new valves. Hope this helps. Good Luck
