We recommend the concrete/gunite pools for commercial applications

For residential pools i always recommend vinly liner or fiberglass pools instead of concrete pool. It a lot less maintenance.

Bev, your problem is an easy one, 1st you don’t have an automatic overflow, if you did you pool your pool would be leaking. 2nd why can’t you get the builder to come back and fix it 3rd you just need a plumber to stop the hammer, he can put an arrester at your meter to stop it. And last I would get rid of it myself, because after the plumber stops the hammer, one day,again, one day it is going to fail when your on 2 weeks holiday and flood your home next door and down the road. What wrong with filling from your hose, you will have a better idea how much it’s useing.GW from Australia

Hey,gertsy where you live how much warranty does a house builder have to have
on the foundations of your home, think about it. It’s all to do will the licenseing
laws of where you live, 15 years on f/glass,well they can say what they like but where I live it is only 7 years and thats it, nobody is there to help you after that,exept if you want to take them to court and that another lesson in $ thrown away. But contact your local authorities and see if 15 years could be upheld, I very much doubt it sorry. GW from Australia. ps if they go out of business can you still claim any warranty.

OH! Judy what have you done to yourself. A pro would not charge anything until he
proved to you and himself that the leak was found/stopped. But here is something
you can do for yourself, nothing,no more putting water in your pool,let the water drop as far as it wants to go, Voila, thats where the leak is. Keep in touch, I’ll help,
and we will work it out, it’s easy after 36 years, GW from Australia

I’ve been having a major problem lately. Everyday when our pool overflow turns on I have a constant knocking sound in my bathroom toilet. It appears that the builder only put in one line in the back of our home for the pool overflow line, which includes the bathroom water line, everyday when the overflow goes on to keep the pool at a constant water level, the knocking starts and does not stop until the overflow from the spa to the pool goes off. I have shut off the lever in the back of our home to stop the knocking of the toiler, but that shuts off the water to the overflow to the pool, and when the pool loses water after normal evaporation I either need to use the hose or turn back the water line, so that really doesn’t solve our issue. Does anyone out there know what we can do to stop this issue. I had a plumber and his brilliant idea was to lower the lever half way, but of course that did not stop the knocking sound, so I’m hoping someone out this is honest and intelligent enough to have an answer to this problem.

If concrete pools are the way to go how come the best warranty I can get on a concrete pool is 8 years. Yet for fiberglass/composite I can get 15 years. Go figure.
