So if the heater has been running and you immediately turn off the pump then yes. The heat exchanger is hot and water will boil within it if the pump is turned off immediately. This typically causes the calcium in the water to separate into a solid state and scale the exchanger eventually causing the heat exchanger to clog. It's always best to shut off the heater, let the pool water run through it for 10-15 min as to not boil the water in the exchanger. As for the low flow code. That is normal when you turn off a pump. All heaters have pressure switches and when they don't sense water moving that code will show up.

no.

Are you seriously asking why someone would want to have a pool at their house?

What you got? Dallas Tx area

Sounds like super Greed !

It really isn't guys. Try owning dumptrucks, excavators, and skids. Easy into 5 figures in payments, insurance, etc. Now you need to pay people to use those machines, right? Now add the materials . After that, add the system. Even after all that, you ll need maintenance. But I get it. The price makes no sense when you have no idea what you're doing

Thanks for the comment! Pools typically start around 55k as we stated in the video not 80k. For averages we included a vs pump, filter, heater, winter cover, 4' of concrete, colored light, gas/electrical allowance, dirt removal and permits , pool tools etc. We imagine it does vary slightly from region to region in the US. We have spoken with builders from each region and have come up with these averages! Great price on your pool!!

@@royalpoolsandmore348 Medium sized concrete pool with some minor customizations. You had it listed at $80,000 for something similar. Mind me asking what the ratio of labor to material costs are?

@@Benkadin-u5o Good luck getting that answer.

Who did you use?

Please share information who you used to build yours. Thank you

Great comment! They start at $55k per the video but can definitely get up to $85! Prices have gone up significantly in the past 4 years. Businesses are experiencing high manufacturing costs that haven't adjusted back down with inflation/demand, higher business/health insurance premiums, fuel etc. Your reaction is one of the reasons why we felt we should shoot this video! Have a great day!

What kind of idiot pays that much

Easily.

Yes that is normal. The heater has a regulator that will mix cooler water with the hot water so swimmers don't get burned. To address heating the pool faster. The larger the heater obviously the faster it will heat the pool. In addition the larger heater will save you money in the long run. Find a good quality pool professional and see what a normal sized heater for your pool is and then potentially size up! You would have to consider going to a larger gas or propane line to fuel a larger heater. Your local pool pro should know how to look into all of that for you!

You don’t backwash cartridge filters. Only sand filters. You clean these every 4 months. 3 if you live in an area with a lot of trees. No back wash necessary.

Hi @danaparish1644 thank you for the comment! Yes, we are referring to a basic pool package! We love that you pointed out what people should be looking for as far as equipment and contractor experience. It does depend on what part of the Midwest you are from as pricing is also regional. Our basic pool package Includes the following: VS Super Pump, Sand, or Cartridge Filter, 250k heater always with a check valve, gas and electrical hookup within an allowance, online chlorinator, 1 color led 12v light, 4' of concrete, excavation and dirt removal, mesh winter cover, cleaning equipment and tutorial. As for our heater, we do not install bypasses because it is not good for stagnant water to be sitting in the heat exchanger. Sitting water in a heater when bypassed can also cause damage to the heat exchanger by being corrosive or scale forming. We advise our clients to keep water balanced at all times by testing 3 times weekly. We do offer an automated bypass heater from Jandy if the client is looking for a bypassed heater. Jandy has a slow flow of water passing through the exchanger when wanting a bypass so to not let water sit. Yes, these price ranges do not include Salt systems, slides, custom steps on vinyl liners, robotic cleaners, etc. With having 24 years of experience, you are absolutely correct that most states do not have pool-licensed contractors so vetting is crucial! We are trained in everything we install, we have CPO on staff and have hydraulic and plumbing training. All great information we thank you for the comment!

@@royalpoolsandmore348 Great reply! I didn’t mention that when I bypass my heater, I drain the water (remove plugs and unscrew inlet and returns) to allow that water to drain out and prevent stagnant water from causing damage to the core. A pain in the @ss, but better than buying a new heater prematurely because of heater core damage. I test my water at least 3 times a week (I use liquid chlorine dispenser and liquid acid dispenser) so the ph/alkalinity stays pretty dialed in unless excess rain/bather load, etc. I have friends who had a brand new heater and the 2nd season the heater failed because the core was eaten away due to low Ph. Stupid!

That's all real!

Glad it helped
