The user by the name of "Wavetec sucks" didn't work for wavetec. I mean, he might have sold WT pools, but he didn't actually work AT wave tec. I think he just wants everyone to know that WTP owes him 4k, which they probably do. But I tell ya, I'm looking at your pool, and it looks like you might have some issues with that wall on the right......oh, and your deck is poured wrong. Other than that, it sounds like you had an AWESOME contractor, which is great! Now doesn't it make you sad to know that eventually, Wave Tec is going to screw him? Sad sad sad

You've got all kinds of a ledge to stand on. Refuse to move your garden. We had a situation similar to this last year where a guy didn't want to move his deck, and we eventually let him out of the deal. Also, if you're the spouse, and both of you own your home, they cannot dig w/o your signature. Run far far away.

right, so as I said check all the fittings and seams. Has any work been done ont he pool lateley? Check in those areas as well. Is the back of your light niche plugged? Might check that out and make sure there is a good seal. Get some goggles.

no, but if you go to your local SCP (see yellowpages) they should be able to hook you up with one. It's a syringe with dark dye in it. You slowly make your way around all the pool fittings and seams and you should see it get sucked out around leaks....

When I worked for Wave Tec, leaks were the most common problem. Go get yourself a dye test kit and dive your pool yourself. It's kinda fun, you learn. Go along the seams and, of course, your previous patch jobs. That will cost you about 15 bucks. Then if you cannot find it, let the pool leak down, and wherever it stops, there's your leak. Shouldn't hurt your pool as long as it doesn't drain all the way. Look for wet spots around the yard. You might have a plumbing leak. All things to consider before spending 400 on a diver.

Oh, he's got money, that's true. But talking to him is a joke, he look uncomfortable in his own skin, his head is so large he looks like a lollipop, and he has ZERO social skills.

Look deeply into my eyes! I am the one screwing you!!!

There's one of him taking a picture of himself on the couch. It's quite hilarious.

damn, you had me! Well, I'll tell you this much, I am currently in communications with a lawyer that was i believe retained by at least 1 person who really was screwed by WTP. i just began talking to him....really I just replied to his first e-mail to me. Hopfully something interesting will happen soon. Oh, but I will tell you this, the CEO of WTP just fired his COO (4th in 3 years) and also fired his director of construction! In the middle of July! His project managers are so overwhelmed that they are just worn down with no ability to build pools. Many of their accounts are on credit hold and no pools are being completed, or at least they are taking weeks and weeks to complete b/c the builders are all new and don't know what they're doing. It's a joke. In fact, if you want to see what Jason Herring looks like, you should look at the screen name IRONMAN123 on fitness-singles.com. That's him. Now if you see him at the grocery store or something, you can spit in his face.

Propane is way more economical. A heater and heat pump do not do the same thing, and a company will sell you one knowing that you probably don't know the difference. I would go with a cartridge filter. Pretty easy to keep up while offering "good to fair" filtration. get a big name like pentair or hayward so that parts aren't an issue later. I know a few people with safety covers, and frankly, none of them use it. It's just a pain.

It's my guess that he is trying to get the filter he has now to work properly. A clean and clear is a GREAT filter in my opinion, and can be fitted with a DE filter grid as well (as shown to me by their sales rep) but will cost you some serious cheese.

Is the deck rising or is the ground settling? If settling is the problem, then same will help to some extent as it will not settle. However, I suggest getting some fill dirt, and compacting it around the edge. Fox pools are desigend to have a small gap called a thermal barrier between the ground and the deck, and it is especially important in your area. It allows the soil room to expand when it freezes. I'll contact you via e-mail this evening.

I'm......really not sure what you're saying here. And if Camisa worked for wave tec, she wouldn't have bought one of their pools....

I just took a look at that website and must admit that is new tech to me. You have a gunite? I know it's treating the symptoms and not the disease, but you might try some water clarifier. It will clump the minerals in your pool so that they become captured by the filter. As for the brown-yellow film, that should be able to be swept up into suspention and also filtered out. Could it be mustard algae?
