    Pool filling now! Quick question

    Hi y’all! My pool is just now starting to fill and the plaster crew just left. I went out and see they didn’t wrap the end of the hose. Should I leave it or should I go carefully put something on it??

    Iridescent glass tile on raised wall--blinding glare??

    My pool build will be coming very soon :) My husband and I went over the weekend to look at tile samples and I was loving the NPT Lightstreams (is that what they are called) iridescent tiles like Arctic Ice, Aquamarine, etc. I'm sorry if I'm getting the names wrong lol We ended up choosing one...

    PB in Austin that will do SWG?

    I am dead set on using SWG and my husband's business is stone so we aren't worried about that at all -- he can seal it all day every day and has access to all the good stuff.

    Salt or Chlorine--info from builder has me scratching my head

    I've been wanting a swg for our future pool. I'd just about convinced hubby (even though EVERY builder tries to talk us out of it). The other night a builder really got into the topic and was very impressed with my limited knowledge of pool chemistry. I told him my concerns about trichlor tabs...

    Total NOOB question!

    Hi everyone! We are getting close to choosing a design and builder, etc, and we've met with several builders that all say different things about pool chemistry, of course. My simple question is this: If I am using the methods described here, once my pool is established, is that me testing the...
