    AZ Source for Double Bullnose Travertine Coping?

    I told the PB that he quoted it and I would wait until they had it in stock vs. the smaller. Of course waiting meant he would get his check later. He amazingly found it. 16" factory bullnosed. I'll have to take pics as I don't have any closeups of just that section of the coping.

    New Build - Mesa, AZ

    I had jumping rocks installed and the were positioned so that they were actually not on the beam at all. Not sure why you want it tied to the beam?

    Pool Build in Gilbert, AZ

    Looks like the second one has automation (intellitouch) where the first one doesn't. Also only has 1 light bit it's LED. My pool only has one light but it's not LED. It provides enough light for me. But it's important where it is placed. Needs to shine along the length and not width. Yhe...

    Starting the process in North Phoenix **Updated Pics 8/22**

    Re: Starting the process in North Phoenix Wow! Hard dig and looks like they weren't a foot down before they broke out the hammer. Bummer. Hope you had a contingency for that. We did since we put in a diving pool and due to our location, but luckily we didn't. We put in RV gate so they...

    Spa wall coping job well done? Your opinion please - pics

    Re: Spa wall coping job well done? Your opinion please - pic Huh? :?: Looks to me like they were lazy. Instead of cutting the travertine and making very thin grout joints, they made wide joints to adjust for the curves instead of cutting the coping. Very amateur job IMO. What you can do...

    Well water

    It also depends on the hardness of the water. I don't, not have I ever had to remove iron, but know that is also a factor. But a typical system is in the range of 48K grains (1 grain = 1 ppm). The largest single tank is about 64K. When you get into the 96K, you need double resin tanks. If...

    Starting the process in North Phoenix **Updated Pics 8/22**

    Re: Starting the process in North Phoenix At least you got some reimbursement eventually. Point I was making is that you will get the same warranty on the pool shell at long as you use a registered builder here in AZ. Enforcing the warranty or collecting is a different story. I would...

    Re: Starting the process in North Phoenix Pebble Plus is NOT PebbleTec. It goes by different names with different builders (Pebble Radiance for Presidential) but it is not a PebbleTec product. I forget who's product it is but I think it is Cal Plaster but not certain. AZ requires all pool...

    Starting the process in North Phoenix **Updated Pics 8/22**

    Re: Starting the process in North Phoenix Yes that is what I was referring to. It's not a true in-floor system and is the only system they sell as far as I know. Their angle is that no infloor system works so they don't sell one. They just use their wall returns to shoot down into a zone...

    Starting the process in North Phoenix **Updated Pics 8/22**

    Re: Starting the process in North Phoenix It's not an infloor cleaning system. All it consists of is jets on the side that blow down. It turns over the water but doesn't clean. It circulates water but it's not going to remove the dirt. THey say it will suspend the particles to be removed...

    Stair tile?

    We did same Lightsteam iridescent glass for the step markers. Really like the way it looks. Just be ready for sticker shock. I'm pretty sure Pebbletec rebrands them and sells them through their installers as well.

    new pool buying startup

    Negative edge is primarily where you have a slope and view. If your view is a 7' wall, I don't see the point in negative edge. Water gets very warm. I have a Pentair heat/cool pump. Cool upgrade was about $900 and well worth it IMO. Need to get with HOA and city for setback requirements. I...
