    Pebble not filled all the way!

    He knows I'm freaking out about it. He says they need to turn on the panel and do it that way. We did the easy touch deal.

    Pebble not filled all the way!

    Stayed up this morning to make sure my new pool and spa were filled up to the top completely. It finished at 4:30am. Went to bed. Woke up at 6:30 to find out the spa went down about 1/2 way.

    Thank you! Yes that is exactly what is happening now. So weird to come home to a trailer in front of my house full of sludge! But nice to finally see the pool come together! Super excited to see it with water in it!

I know it doesn't hit the 75% minimum requirement, but how much will this really affect the system...

    Stonescapes Mini Pebble- Aqua White or Aqua Blue

    Hey everyone. We are in the process of finishing our pool build and the next step is choosing our stonescapes mini pebble finish. My wife and I originally wanted dark (midnight blue or tahoe), but last week we found a rattle snake in our pool shell and thought it makes more sense to have a...

    New to Pools

    Hey all- Just joined the group. I have no idea on how to care or maintain for a pool, but we are in the process of having one installed now. Everything should be done in 2-3 weeks time. Looking forward to learning the process and how to maintain a salt water pool system. Thank you! Doug
