Re:Trying to close pool in North East..can't get pH down I'd really like to close this pool..seeing as snow is melting in it right now! so...I guess I should just ask if pH is ever going to be stable enough for me to close it! What happens if I close it and it is still high?

Ok..so I realize I am at risk for sounding like a total pool idiot but here goes...we wanted to close our pool in October- new pool IG pebblesheen...the pool company came out to close it and said we had to have our SWG turned off for at least a month prior to closing and that our chemicals...

wow...that was fast! Thanks for the info :) As always..this forum is so helpful. Now..how do I post pictures?

Our pool is being plastered now and will be started up on Saturday. We used pebblesheen- do we still have to brush it everyday like reg plaster or will it ruin the pebbly sheen? I tried posting pictures of our pool plaster but I keep getting error messages...any advice on how to post a pic...

Great news for us...hole is in shelf and umbrella sleeve is on its way by tomorrow...plastering to take place Fri/Sat...Thanks for everyone's help!

Since it is now pouring rain here (again) it buys me some time to be sure the builder uses that part- seems perfect. Thanks

Ok..so the pool company is coming out tomorrow to drill our gunnited shelf...is this just supposed to be a 'waterproofed' hole or should they be putting in some sort of insert with a cap? How deep is the hole supposed to be so that the umbrella doesn't tip over? Thanks..

Ok, so it's safe to assume that all umbrellas have the same diameter pole and will fit into the hole that is permanently in our top step?

Hi- we are considering putting an umbrella in our sunshelf..looking for any pros/cons... Thanks!

Your aqua blue pool looks nothing like the aqua blue we saw...the two we saw were very artificial blue looking- yours looks very natural and pretty. Thanks for posting..although I am now possibly more confused :lol:

Wow..that IS pretty water...thanks for posting pictures!

Thanks...yes, I've seen aqua blue..the base color doesn't go with our tile at all...the blue granite has too many black specks in it...so I might have to with slate blue..sight unseen! Scary!

Hello, I am 2 weeks away from plastering our pool..I've agonized over the color pebblesheen to use for WAY too long. Narrowed it down to blue granite and slate blue. I've seen blue granite in person but, there are no local slate blue pools for me to look at..if anyone has any pictures of...

Hi. We are going to go with a Dolphin pool slide...can be incorporated into landscaping...marine grade fiberglass/gel coating. dolphinwaterslides.net

Love love love your travertine!!! What color is that? Thanks! Kristina

so what did you end up going with?? I am actually reconsidering PA Bluestone but am afraid it will be too hot on bare feet...

Hi Does anyone know of a brand of pavers that has one that resembles beige tone travertine? We live in PA and I don't think real travertine will wear well over the years b/c of the freeze and thaw issue...I don't really want poured concrete or aggregate b/c it will eventually crack. Any other...

whew...thanks! I was worried :(

Hello, We have a strange 'leak' in the wall of the deep end of our pool. We have had lots of rain here but it's been sunny all day and it is still there. There is no other water other than the rain at the bottom of the pool. Is this a leak? Should we worry? What should be done? The...

Re: New to forum- choosing between pebble sheen and pebble f Hi SCCS...assuming that is your pool in your profile picture...what color is your pebblefina? Many thanks...

Re: New to forum- choosing between pebble sheen and pebble f Another question I meant to post above...do the pebble fina pools get the same mottling/swirling effect that can happen with gray plaster pools? thanks to all!

New to forum- choosing between pebble sheen and pebble fina Hello, I am new to the forum. We are in the process of building an inground pool. It's already gunited and we need to choose the interior finish asap. We are having a tough time deciding between pebble sheen and fina. I know that...
