    New Pool Build in Central Texas

    We went chlorine. So we got the TFTestkit that the forum recommends.

    Midnight Blue and Tropics BlueStonescapes

    See link to my build in sig. As far as water temp goes....it's really not gonna matter that much. My brother lives a few miles from me and went with "Irish Mist", which is significantly lighter than my "Midnight Blue"...and his water temps aren't too much different than mine. It may be a bit...

    New Pool Build in Central Texas

    CC did our pool as well in Sunwest Village (Harris Creek area). They also did my brothers (Rancho Lorena). Adam and Lindsey are good folks. The only thing I wish I would have asked more about was the control panel. I'm in tech field, so the lower end panel we got doesn't quite have all...

    What's One More Pool in Central Texas

    There should be some pics on the previous page. However if you are wanting something from a different angle, I can see what I have in my phone. If there is a certain view you would like to see, I can grab some pics when I get home later. The pool is 33' from farthest point (deep end side) to...

    New Pool + Cabana + Putting Green - Lucas, TX

    Nice build! With a tad bit of work sprinkled in; this made my Friday morning fly by! So thanks! One quick "Wish I woulda" to keep in mind. If the Automation system isn't already installed.....make sure it has all of the features that you want. Most all come with a remote of sorts....but...

    Returns question

    Got it! Thanks. We usually only run it when we have company seeing it for the first time...or if there is a young one playing on the tanning ledge.

    Returns question

    Thanks for the replies gents. Will go with counter clockwise to see how it does. Should I leave fountain on or off for the most part? Wind mostly comes from the tanning ledge to deep end.

    Returns question

    Hey guys. So I've noticed that I have a lot of stuff floating on top of the pool that "should" be getting caught by the skimmers. I think over the summer, people playing with the returns got the flow out of whack. Any advice on how they should be oriented? Red = skimmers Orange = returns...

    Plastic strip between tile and concrete coping?

    I certainly could be wrong; but I wouldn't hold my breath on an answer. The OP has 2 posts since becoming a member of this forum; and they are both contained in this thread....which is almost a year and a half old.

    TFP--Why does it work so well?

    I too was lucky to find this site just before starting our build. I did not "speak" pool at all; so this is the only method I know. I know a bunch of people that tell me to "just take a sample to the pool store and they'll tell you exactly what you need". And I could see how appealing that is...

    Refurb 2005 pool outside of Dallas, plaster, tile, New LEDs, new sheers.

    Light's look great! I'm in the same boat.....my Color Logics wont stop on Red either. Yet they briefly flash red during one of the "light shows". So frustrating that one of the most universal popular colors isn't available. I contacted Hayward support and they confirmed that I would have to...

    What's One More Pool in Central Texas

    Thanks! Plan on power washing and staining the fence this weekend (if the weather holds out). Still need to get some décor in and around the beds. As well as a few things to hang on the fence. Some of the plants didn't make it through the winter....so I'll need to replace those as well...

    What's One More Pool in Central Texas

    Hi folks! Been almost a year since we completed our pool. Thought I would post some updated pics. Bat-Face Cuphea's - Wonder how they got that name? They didn't survive the winter :-( Phillips Hue canned lights (can change a range of colors or do "light shows"). We really...

    CH and CYA high

    Thanks again for Reply. Yea, it was exactly 100. Contacted PB last night and he clarified that he didn't want me leaving the pebble exposed for a long amount of time (like a week); but said that draining half and re-filling would be fine. Guess I'll be draining the pool this weekend. :cheers:
