Thanks for the ideas. I'll check the filter again. Embarrassed to say that I didn't know I needed to clean the DE filter beyond a simple backwash as needed (guess my pool school with the builder wasn't sufficient LOL). I did it this weekend and it was CAKED with sediment and calcium (after 3...

I can't seem to find what the sensor is trying to tell me. In the Salt section, the green good light and red low light flash interchangeably. The flow light is solid red (picture below). Verified filter was clean. Cleaned cell (no reaction/bubbles and no evidence of obstruction around cells). No...

So, it appears that all the white spots are "divots"/pitting in the plaster where chunks of plaster or aggregate have come loose. They say they can patch it and remove the stain next week. They wanted to wait another week to ensure the plaster has cured. I'm hesitant, but optimistic. Went...

Here's the photos. The PB added more acid to see if it'll fix it. They're also calling out the plaster company to see what can be done. There's some white spots that showed up as well. I told the PB that if Iwe have to drain, re-finish, and fill again, I'm fine with that, but I need to be...

*sigh* so, the overnight curing of the plaster led to some ground water seeping in. I guess they didn't have the sump pump set properly. Now there's a little bit of a "bathtub ring"around the drain. They used a torch to try to dry it out before the fill. PB said that the acid and brushing for...

So, I just played with the TF-100 to determine the specs of my fill water. Results are: Chlorine .5 CC 1 TC 1.5 pH 8.2 CH 400 ppm TA 80 So, the pH test in the taylor test isn't exact. Is it good enough, or should I invest in a pH meter? Any concern over that calcium? I don't know if that's...

Been a bit since my last post. Life happened, so forgot to post updates. Screen patio is complete except for the fan beam being wired. Fence is back up. Scheduled to have interior finish put in next Tuesday. Working with irrigation and landscape folks to get some trees and plants put in after...

Been a bit since I've updated. Pavers were completed today. Been arguing with the fence company. Why do they ask for a 2-3 week notice, but when I'm ready, I'm still not scheduled. I'll surely write a review about this on another site :) Things are progressing well. Only things remaining are...

I never thought about how the coping would be cut before. I think we'll be satisfied as it, but there is a totally different aesthetic to each paver being cut. Next pool, we'd probably request it :) They're finishing up tile and coping now. Pavers for decking were delivered today. Looks like...

I asked about the filter and they didn't see concerned. They said that perhaps the plumbers had too much pressure on it (was 40+ where the filter is used to 17'ish). Either way, they said they'd look into it. Since the last update, the concrete footers have been poured for the patio circle and...

Pool electrical is done! I think... They said they wired in the bubbler, but I don't see evidence of it. Just a box at the main panel and a circuit breaker. Ohh well, it'll be on them to make sure it gets done in the long run. New GFE outlet to meet the code. Pool Light Switch Free...

Great point, Kim. Didn't really think about that, but you're right. I won't want to fool with that. I'll need to go pick out some rock or something. Maybe a square paver or two to stand on. Plumbing is complete. Electrical is tomorrow. Today they framed up the screen room concrete footer and...

Please don't bother checking here daily. I don't think it'll be that exciting, but maybe I'll be wrong. I did reach out to the PB about the muddy water and they said they intend for it to fill up, equal to the water table. I forget the rationale, but I think it was something along the lines of...

So, after a week of gnarly rain every other day, we're back at it. Plumber was here today trenching and laying equipment on the pad. Tile and coping also arrived recently. I took pictures of them together to get an idea. The decking will be a cream/beige color while the coping is just straight...

His wife may not appreciate that. Or were we talking about the float? Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Looking sharp!!

So, they came out and took out the grass today. Made my pretty pool shell messy :( The other thing I noticed is that there's now water seeping through the bottom. There was a pump they had hooked up pumping water out, but they cut it off and removed it to take out the grass. Ever since, I'm...

So, they finished rebar on Friday and shot the gunite in on Monday. Been a little distracted from posting pictures. I think it turned out great, but I wouldn't know since I've never been through the process. This is from the second story this morning. About 18 hours after it was completed.

So, even though both drains are T'ed into the same pipe, that counts as two drains? I was wondering if maybe the skimmers counted as one. I'll probably call the PB for their clarification. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Measurements match up. It's supposed to be 28' at the longest and it's currently ~29'6", so it appears they're building in a bit of a buffer. Or they liked me :D The dog (Cooper) approves. He's just curious about how to get in it right now. Rebar is mostly done. They put down what I assume is...

Amethys, I don't know for sure. I believe there is going to be a small lip where the water comes out. Guessing it would probably smart a bit to step on, but it should be pretty visible in such shallow water. Dig happened today. I think it went well. The guy on the trackhoe is like a surgeon...

So, I was out of town this week and got notice that permit was complete. I had fence panels removed and tree trimmed, so was good to go. My wife took the following pictures to share. Appear they just marked the form and are pumping water out of the area. Per a conversation she had with them...

I've asked similar questions around here and the answer is "it depends." It's a very subjective question based on your environment and personal preferences. For example, I'm not keen on the Tahoe due to the green hue it can put off in certain lights. That might be desirable by some though. I...

Just put down deposit. Permitting begins Monday. We choose the finish Marquis Antigua. Wife is excited. I told her to contain it for the next 12 weeks or she might be disappointed. Already have irrigation capped. Going to trip up some oak trees for access next weekend. Need to get fence panels...

Yeah, just my section of shadowbox vinyl was nearly $6000 installed. Darn (your filter caught the first word I used; language noted) HOA requires shadowbox (you can see where one neighbor's fence isn't in compliance). Ohh well, it looks nice. Currently doing logistics on capping irrigation...

Running too little water can ruin the SWCG? I have more to learn still it appears. :confused:

Beautiful! I love your sunken kitchen/bar.

I like aspects of all of them. Maybe determine what you like best and get quotes from the 4 PBs to get an "apples to apples" comparison. I personally would like all of them, but if I have to put them in order for my taste, I like 3, 4 (360), 2, then 1. I'd be happy with them all, but I liked the...

Ugh, I need to work 25 hours a day to keep her happy. I should stop kidding about this stuff. She's liable to read this eventually. Love you, sweety! :whip: Here are pictures of our current backyard. Originally, my two read neighbors had their fences. I had to complete it, so you can see the...
