Thanks Bobby! I have used Vitamin C and another product from the pool store nearby. The stain just comes right back. We also purchased turtle decals to cover it but it has now grown larger than the turtle and we doubt it will stick. It looks like someone had an accident in the pool. This stain...

Thank you for your response! I am aware there will be a patch :(

Hello, Our pool is 2 years old and we have a few rebar stains coming through. One really bad one that is huge! Our contractor took a look and told us the plaster company that installed the plaster will fix it for free but we should have it acid washed after and it will cost us $900. I'm...

Thank You!! I just used the online app... Thanks Pool Mom! My husband has an iphone and because he told me he was going to take care of the pool I will have him purchase the App. :lol:

I am not having a very good pool day :hammer: We fished out a mouse this afternooon from the bottom of the pool. Cleaned out another bird's nest and found a screen to cover the grotto to prevent them from building nests and making a huge mess in there. I just noticed these bugs. Mostly in...

Beautiful picture! We have a darker finish and the magenta is not as bright as yours. It looks great!!

I'm going to spend the evening in Pool School... I should have done this 2 months ago! :shock:

Thanks everyone. Our pool builder just told me to add acid and salt if the red light comes on! I have been testing the water but I'm clueless as to what else needs to be added. Thanks Bruce :-D Where do I get a pool calculator? I know I saw something about it on this forum?

This is my first time posting test results. I know I should spend time reading over the site for my questions to find the answers but I have been too swamped to find the time. SWG 27,000 gallons, plaster Pool temp 61 FC 4.0 TC 4.0p pH 8.0 TA 70 CYA 20 sorry I don't have the CH What should...

Reefkeep, Your pool looks amazing! It is a very exciting process. This forum has been such a huge help with our pool build. We did add another pump after getting advice on here and really wanted pebblesheen but it was 7 or 8k to upgrade :O( I have to say I am very happy with the medium gray...

Thank you everyone! It has been a lot of work but we are now at the finish line :whoot: Today we had all the plants planted in our front yard. I do not have a green thumb and have no clue about plants so we hired someone to do the design and pick the plants from our HOA list. I love how it...

It sure is!!!!! Great workout :lol: It's also a great choir for my kids :whip:

Thanks!! I'd rather wait a month to start up the spa! It's winter and we are soooo busy as it is. If waiting to start up the spa is what we need to do that is fine. Brushing this pool three times a day is not easy! PHEW!! It's HUGE.

Thank you all for your help!! I'm soaking all of this information up. In one week we will so be using that spa.. Here are a few pictures I took today. The water is pretty cloudy but I love the color! We went with medium grey plaster.

Hello everyone! If anyone could answer a few questions I have it would be greatly appreciated!!!! First.. our pool is now being filled. We are at the 36 hour mark right now and it is still not finished. My husband set his alarm for 3am to check on the progress. We are so excited to get our...

Ted, Things will all work out in the end and moving is HARD and stressful no matter what. Change in general is hard but can be worth it. We have moved twice in the past 1.5 years and I resisted. We have 2 teenage girls who changed schools 3 times due to this (talk about emotional nightmare)...

The landscaping is coming along really well. A few details left, softscape, plaster and water in the pool and we will be done. While waiting for the project to be complete I thought I would play around with my camera and attempt to shoot and create HDR images. This was my first shot at it and I...

Here are some updated pictures.

Hi Henry, I'll run outside and take some pictures in a few hours and post them. We had a week of rain so no work was done. Right now they are working on finishing the hard scape around the pool and we should be ready for plaster next week or the week after. I'm pretty bummed we can't upgrade...

It looks amazing! Give your wife a huge thumbs up from me :goodjob: She did a fabulous job with the design. Everything flows so well and I'm taking notes from your design. That is also my job with this entire landscape job and my husband has been great about letting me handle it all. It's...

LOL.. I'm so lost with all the pool terms.. moulted? mottled??? The plaster has streaks and looks old. It was finished maybe 2 months ago.

NO! I want pebblesheen so badly! Last night we saw my SIL's pool that was just finished with tahoe blue plaster and it is very very moulded. We need to figure out where we are at this year with taxes. If we owe or if we are getting money back. We moved, bought and sold houses, cashed stocks...

Our pavers are pretty much complete in the front yard. I thought I would post new pics. We are expected to have much needed rain all this week so nothing will be happening with the landscaping. The pool is ready for plaster and to be filled after all the pavers are in the backyard. :) I...

Jim It looks AMAZING! I love everything. I'm so jealous of your pebble finish.. we are going to have to stick with plaster due to the cost of our entire landscaping. The pavers are so nice. We are having ours installed right now and they are similar to yours. Post pictures of the pool filled!

Wow!!! It is beautiful!! Congrats on your new pool. I love the design and features.

I have not had a chance to miss the pool as it is being installed now. I love that picture of the kids sledding! What a great shot! I have to say I really miss the cold weather right now. Winter just does not feel right and I would like to dress in winter clothes. It's been in the mid 70s...

I'm pretty sure you mean Salt Water. The waterline is tile but the entire sun shelf is flagstone.. I spent a very long time picking out a tile that will go well with this flagstone. After looking at tons of 3 rivers coping pools we went with the most popular choice. We picked Colbalt from this...
