That tile is one we seriously considered. We ended up using something very similar from NPT but with a matte finish. I think the tan pebbles in your sample and the other pool shown above are what throw a bit of a green cast sometimes. I would stay with something that only has blues and...

Yes. Diamondbrite is a Quartz finish. The Steel Blue is a blend of 4 parts Tahoe Blue (A medium blue color) and one part Onyx (black).

Looks similar to the color I chose but in a different finish Diamond Brite Steel Blue (it really changes color a lot depending on the light). I really like the darker finish. Living in the New Orleans area the pool does get warm but I much prefer it that way. You can see the plaster sample...

Looks like a non issue to me. Just going to have thicker gunite there. I had a LOT of washout due to a really heavy rain the day prior to them shooting gunite in my pool. My back wall is just extra thick because of it.

I have a variable speed pump and SWG. Run it 18 hours a day. Very low speed for 15 and run my Polaris 3 hours. Could probably get by with less but low is cheap to run and with that much run time my SWG just runs 30%. Water is always crystal clear.

I just bring my ph down to 7.5 when I leave and let my pump and SWG run as normal. I just got back from 8 days and the pool never knew I was away.

I have a very natural pallet to my pool and went with a mostly gold colored glass marker tile. There is a photo in my build thread here: New Build in South Louisiana - Page 6

Crushed stone and sand here. No freezing.

My pool is about the same age. The acid demand slowed down a lot once I got TA to 60. Also as said above it seems to like to ride at 7.8 so I only knock it down to 7.6 when adding acid.

My pool builder installed the Fusionsoft which is SWG and Nature 2 in one unit. I just never installed the N2 cartridge and left in the shipping plug.

Good deal. Once you get that TA down the PH rise should get better

Why are you trying to target such a low PH? Follow the advise above.

I bought the same brand product from Amazon a couple of weeks ago without the discount. Came in a box with a plastic bag with a zip tie. It dissolved quickly and worked great.
