Awesome! I'm sold!

So after reading this thread we are sold on getting Dolphin Discover, especially since we have an older pool built before any fancy schmancy automatic cleaners were about. One lingering question I have is how is this bad boy with nuts? we have a large oak near our pool and it likes to drop...

Silver _2000 : I saw your oops video, in fact your thread is what got me started on the Aquabright journey. Yippee_Skippy: if we are in economic recovery, you could have fooled me, most of my engineering friends are either out of a job (and have been for over 6 months) or about to laid off. 5...

The first bid back was just for quartz base plaster finish...and it was more than the first pool I built by alot, and that build was only 5 years ago, in the same city.

Well it's good to know that Pool Works does good work. Just got my first bid back and lets just say the sticker shock was up there. Lets hope the others are more reasonable.

Kim thanks so much for you help, I could use it. Last time I built my pool from scratch, I designed it, and my PB added some tweaks that just put it over the top. I miss that pool. But I was also living in the house and could be on top of everything (not that I needed to until start up...that...

I'm really interested in getting an AquaBright finish for our pool remodel. The EcoFinish company sent me a list of 3 pool installers in the Houston area that are approved installers, but when I go to their websites none list the Aquabright or EcoFinish as a pool finish. So if you have used...

Kim, I'm outside both loops (610 and Beltway 8). Right now I have 2 companies coming out to give quotes, but I'd like to get at least one more.

Thank you Brian for your quick reply, do you know the names of any of the companies in Texas?

I have an older pool that's in need of a replaster job. I've been reading up on the recent Aqua Brite threads and it looks very interesting. The only thing I haven't seen clear mention of yet is UV stability of the product in high sun areas. Coming from an industrial background, I know that...

Around 6 years ago I joined this forum and began the process of learning about pools. 5 years ago I built a great pool and have loved it ever since (you guys make pool maintenance so easy) I just bought a new home (good-by my beautiful pool) and it has an ancient pool that is in need of...

Ok added 32 oz of MA to drop the ph Filled a sock with first dose of stabilizer (bought 4lbs of Ram stabilizer) put about 1/3 of it in a sock and hung it in the pool in front of a return) as soon as that one is consumed I'll fill it again. Added 2 bottles of 6% bleach 182oz to bring to above...

Well I expected to do the first 4 at about the same time. I kinda wanted to skip #5 because it's really old and it leaks and I'm little and didn't want to fight with the monster :) I was hoping to hold off cleaning the filter till the weekend so that I can con my husband into helping her do it...

So my friend has a 10k SWG pool, that no one has taken care of in weeks, so it's growing stuff (not bad but...) So I offered to get it up and running so the kids can go swimming since we are regularly hitting 95+ here. A bit of info (since it's different from my sig line cause that's my...

Yeah I have a few cal hypo tabs, maybe 5? Why would calcium rise from evaporation if I keep my water level constant, wouldn't it just leach it from the plaster? (something I thought you wanted to avoid?)
