@@Poolknot that’s cool thanks for the tip

@@k20in321 what part of the country are you in?

Colorado

@@k20in321 right on. So using the method that I use in your climate, you say that you’re more prone to cracking skimmers or are the people skimmers that are getting cracked are they not servicing them correctly?

@@iovannamcdevitt6349 I don’t know any in Florida. Depending on finishes with the Florida market I’d guessing a little but I’d say that would run 70-100k quality work. I’m sure there some people watching from the Florida that would know.

Yeah sure! As long as you either put a gizmo in with a bleed hole on top to where the water in the lines can come out when you blow it out. Or our method is, we blow it out, plug it while the blowing is running (you will get a little wet) and then put an empty gal jug up side down and wedge it in like I showed in the video. I hope that makes sense

Here in NYC we will drain below skimmer if you have tile. But that's about only reason I can think of to drain below...aside maybe to compensate for water accumulation through a mesh cover...

@ interesting. Never thought of the tile.

@@STEVEGOTITPOOL lol. Such a big deal

@@mikehaze925 that’s awesome man I appreciate it. Let me know if you need any mentoring or guidance.

The pool? Well over 200k

@@polivcentr yes it is. They’re just a little more touchy because it’s a different system than the excavator or the skid steers.

@@justinbarron8980 agreed. Thanks

@@jacobfenwick337 all the fittings and skimmers we use are from CMP of course schedule 40 hard pipe andPentair equipment

@jonport_ yea sick... I was more referring to the supplier of the pool it's self?

@@jacobfenwick337 oh. they actually started in Australia. I'm no sure if they still sell there but the brand we sell is imagine. Owned by explore industry and the leisure brand.

@@tonyfontana8222 nope

@@tommycohoon4771 probably not teaching on the installs just more or less documenting the business journey of building it, but on our Kentucky a pool cover channel will be a lot more how to stuff. As far as recommendations, this is a CoverStar system whichever they like APC Covers are good too. @kentuckianapoolcovers

@@jaymatthews9324 no problem. The main reason for me is it’s a custom seal. Fiberglass is not perfect so even after grinding plus the inside gel coat it’s never perfect. So with silicone it’s the best option. Plus it fills in all the little places that a rubber gasket can’t. Btw I use boss 801 silicone now. It’s a better product. Are looking get into the business?

@jonport_ Thanks for the response. Yeah, I started out as a pool cleaner at my Dad's company about 12 years ago, and I've been doing pool and spa repairs for the past 5 years. I'm definitely considering it.

@ right on man. I have a mentor program where I work with guys one on one and help them jumpstart their business and career in pool construction if thats something you’re interested in I’d love to get on the phone with you and talk about how I can help.

@@chrisriley126 sorry to hear my man. I’m changing courses a little bit and doing more business content around the Pool Company .

@@RimaHaque2 I am doing it right or I’m not?

@@jonport_ Your videos are very good but there is some problem with your video that's why your video is not getting view if you want I can talk about your problem

You are working very hard for your channel with very few view subscriptions but you are not doing it right

@@perrykerner4577 nice. I’m a reef blue guy

@@perrykerner4577 they do! no LEDs

@@bradley-concrete no. I’m not sure how it would look.

@@bradley-concrete do you do hand joints in your stair cases?

@@jonport_ they make a tool that puts a control joint at the bottom of the step. its super necessary. also make those finishers put a chisel down the step and chase them down or saw cut the next day. California is the mecca of concrete finishing our shit has to be finish carpentry out here lol

@@jonport_ we use a hand chisel its like a 12" bar that is v shaped and we use a hammer to knock the rock back then we come back with cream and doll it up after we strip the wood obviously $$$

@ interesting. I’d like to see a set with them in. I’m sure I’d like the look

@@GRUBB-MUDD yeah for sure. It was slow going on this one but it worked out perfectly the way I wanted.

@@Skilamtic 🙏🏻 I’m glad it helped.

@@georgetaylor5400 yes you’ve been super busy. Got a lot of videos that were making right now kind of a different style that caters more toward running the business. As far as staying warm, not really lol

@@tommycohoon4771 thank you Tommy. The guys did a good job

No. You should be fine.

@@9fa4108f thank you. All in good fun my man. We are all close. At the end of the day my standard is higher then some of the guys and as an owner/pm it’s my job to make sure things get done right. Better contractor or not. Mistakes happen.

@@LizAlexy you’re all good Liz.There’s some people who don’t put antifreeze in the lines and it’s not the end of the world as long as they are blown out correctly and you don’t need to drain it. as long as there’s a gizmo in the skimmer or the skimmer is plugged with a bottle in it to absorb any ice expanding contracting which is what we do and as far as it overfilling that just kinda happens, it’s just the way it goes sometimes with those harsher climate areas

Oh ok. What do you mean a bottle in it? Do you mean a closed empty soda bottle or something? At least I got some water out lol, but let me know about the bottles sizes and how to do it and I can

@@jonport_thank you v much I’m like freaked my skimmers are gonna burst, we have teens the next night here my dogs water bowls stared to freeze outside

We use a empty gal jug from the antifreeze, take off the cap flip up side down, push in the the skimmer and wedge it from the mouth of the skimmer and the back side of the skimmer. As long as it stays in the skimmer (not floating) that’s what matters how ever you get it to stay.

@@jonport_ thanks again for your response! I was actually thinking to syphon more water out of the pool, to get it several inches down since it’s still only like 2-3 inches below natural pool water line when opened. I can also try to put the antifreeze bottle w cap off wedged in there. It sounds like you mean to wedge it right over the weir (?) into the body of the skimmer where the gizmo is? It’s so cold out there lol

@@rotem11 the sump well?

@@jonport_yes, do you know where I can buy a cover for an 18” sump well?

@ we use 10in culvert piping and putt a square skimmer lid on to match when we pour. 18 is real big. You might to get creative on that one. Maybe pour a stone lid with a cut out for the skimmer and set on on top and pour the patio cover that with the skimmer lid in place

@@jonport_thank you

@ any time

Click bait. Tiktokers love it

@@tprice714 no there’s no gold.

@@9fa4108f not click bait.

@@jonport_ Ummmm YES it is

@ if you say so

@@Makes.sense.I.Guess. that’s awesome. It’s so useful and versatile

We have 2200 on ours. The full size skid only comes out when we need it. The mini goes on every job.

@button-jeff that’s awesome

@jonport_ oil changes every 100 hours (takes 10 minutes), hydraulic filter every 500, fuel filter annually, we've changed hydraulic oil twice at 1000 and 2000 hours, just swapped out the first set of tracks at right around 2100 hours. Just a great great little machine. I didn't pay 50k for it either. If I recall it was just under 35k with a set of forks. We've added several attachments over the years. Can't recommend the baby Kubota high enough. I want a second one.

@ that’s awesome. Our was the same with tax and a trencher and forks. Little under 50 in total

@@STEVEGOTITPOOL nice. I don’t go to that one. Mid America in Indianapolis

@@boomersD9CAT yeah idk. They picked it up! Lol

@@briangriffin9886 thank you🙏🏻

@@colehaynes2073 thank you Cole! And thank you for the kind email🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@TulsaPoolBoys yes sir thank you. It’s almost done. Video coming out soon

@@jonport_ looking forward to it!

@@bobbycrosby9765 the rebar was at the top of the slab?

@@jonport_ in the middle, about 1.5 inches below the surface. It runs horizontal past the edge of the slab, past the expansion joint, and into the mortar between each paver for the coping.

@ I think I know what you’re talking about but I’m having a hard time visualizing exactly

@@graphguy sure. It dose where we are

@@jonport_ ya IF it does, but it never does where I live.

@@graphguy nice.

@@Redramdan yes 2in all the way up until we reduce it to three-quarter inch
