Their website makes it appear that they do not just sell to anyone, so I will assume they require certification.

I am beginning to investigate getting my pool refinished and I was curious what companies require licensed applicators to use their product. Personally, I would feel more confident knowing I would get a quality job from hiring an applicator from one of these companies. So far, I know that the...

Okay, so I'd want to choose a color where the cement is darker than my organic stains then.

I am refinishing my pool and fighting a beautiful cedar that has needles that stain my current pebblefina within hours of touching the bottom. I am considering a Beadcrete finish that claims to be resistant to stains (due to the glass I suppose). I am wondering if anyone has experience with...

I have 2x Savi Blanco Pro LED lights that are less than a year old and one of them just became terribly dim. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Naturally, I have my first pool party since putting my pool in this Saturday and my light craps itself...

I will take a look at those too. One of my problems is that I have a metal rod that is the handle on my skimmer basket. So, I have to put two holes in my skimmer socks to use the handle, and otherwise it is a PITA to get the basket out without spilling all of the contents back into the water if...

Wouldn't have thought of that, thank you!

I am using skimmer socks in my basket to catch small needles that come off a cedar tree near my pool. The trouble is that they only last a week and I feel that for the money I am spending, I could find a more permanent solution. I was able to find this...

Ha, I have considered going Ferngully on it... I think I am going to have an arborist come out and prune it as much as possible and see if that helps next year. If not, it may be time to consider sending it to tree heaven.

Those walnuts sound awful. The shading sails seem like an interesting idea, my cedar is about 80 ft tall, so the wind blows the needles everywhere. I'd have to put a greenhouse over my pool to fend them off. The only solution I have thought of is refinishing with a darker color, which sounds...

It's good to know I am not alone, but I feel your pain! My pool is only 9 months old, so this is the first time I am going through a needle drop like this. My pool is saltwater, so I am wondering if the chlorine produced by the salt is less effective at removing them than just using regular...

I have a large cedar that is dropping a ton of needles in my pool. No matter how often I run my skimmer/cleaner, they are still leaving stains all over my Pebble Fina finish. Does anyone have a product they'd recommend that will get rid of the stains with the least amount of damage possible to...
