    Anyone Had Corrosion Issues With Salt?

    I actually thought of checking with Aqua Comfort (the heat pump mfg) this morning and was assured that all their heat exchangers are all titanium and I should have no concern at all about salt and the sales/support guy I spoke with even said a sacrificial anode was not needed but inexpensive...

    Anyone Had Corrosion Issues With Salt?

    I am getting ready to renovate my existing pool including a switch from chlorine tabs to an automated system and I have also had 4 of 6 builders in MA try to steer me away from a SWG toward an Ozone/ UV combo system. It is also corrosion from salt that they are all using as the reasoning for...

    Is SWG safe for pebble finishes

    Thanks for all that info. My main concern was that somehow the salt water would damage the pool finish even after it is cured so that is good to know it isn't an issue, I wasn't so worries about the stone or deck materials, especially since after everything else is done, I'm planning on...

On the face of it, it looks attractive and I was told it would NOT...

    Renovation Help Needed: aggregate & SWG choices

    Thank you for the feedback, I was really already set on the salt water system and had never seriously considered anything else and if anyone who wasn't as reputable as the PB who recommended the mineral system had suggested, it probably would have been a reason to pick a different PB (and still...

    Renovation Help Needed: aggregate & SWG choices

    About to pull the trigger on renovations but still wrestling with final selections and builders. The choices will dictate the builder. First: the finish, deciding between Pebbletec and Stonescapes. Selected Pebbletec blue lagoon vs Stonescapes similar color (I forgot the name), adding 2 bags of...

    Gunite Slide Refinishing

    I did see that thread but that looks like a fiberglass product not suitable for gunite. Especially the mention of it being the same process as refinishing a boat hull, like a gelcoat.

    Gunite Slide Refinishing

    Purchased a home last year with a solid functional gunite pool but due for some renovations. Plaster is near the end of its life and we are currently in the final stages of selecting contractors/products for an aggregate finish, either PebbleTec or Stonescapes. All the information I've...
