As someone who struggled with this decision, here are photos of freshly installed Kenai grey micro pebble. In person it appears a bit darker than the photos. Day: (Depth 4' on left, dropping to 5.5' on right.) Just before sunset: Day, with some shadows:

Thanks. I called NPT about Polishedscapes and they gave me a recommended installer in my area. Called the recommended installer and he says he doesn't do Polishedscapes anymore because it's so problematic. :suspect: Will try CL industries.

Understood. I’ll be OK with some character, going to prioritize smoothness. Now to find someone who’s polished a pool that I can check out in person I guess?

I am ready to plaster and looking for a smooth, darker pool surface - dark french grey or something with dark blue water. Color like a Kenai Grey or Silver Reef a Microfusion Midnight. However I can't figure out the right way to get there. My PB says I need to tile if I want smooth but that...

The spa started small but our friends did an oversized (and extra deep) and it was so much fun! I figure most of the time that’s the preferred adult hangout area. And if it’s too cold for swimming, you can just heat the spa and lounge around. I’ll consider the advice to shrink but I really...

I've read through enough of the forums to know this is a personal choice, but I'm trying to come up with something that facilitates: lap swimming maximized play area smallest possible jumping in feet first /cannonball end This is what I'm currently envisioning for depth: 3.5' water depth...

This is exactly the type of data I was looking for, thank you for sharing!

Thank you for the note - I was originally going to go shorter, but a hotel pool changed my mind. I will look into Primera stone , haven't seen any samples of it yet. I appreciate the tile notes. I was planning to do a muriatic acid test (let it sit on my tile samples for a week) but that's...

Agreed with the above, thank you. Looking at notes, the intent was for the Jandy to also control landscape lighting and other features. But I'm sure IntelliCenter can do that too. My calculations are 15,600. I will ask PB to confirm, but it's also going to depend on my depths as I'm...

Thanks everyone who called me out on this, bad word choice. I meant to say "jumping into a deep end", not diving nor diving board. My kids always jump into the deep end of any pool, so I figure I should offer something.

PB specified the equipment, probably from personal preference. I will ask about Intellicenter. I assume hybrid heater = trying to do too much in one device and harder to maintain. I was sold on the idea of 510k gas when needed, or heat pump otherwise for slow and steady. Yikes, those...

After covid delays, I'm almost at the point of breaking ground on a new pool in Los Angeles. I've appreciated this forum, steering me away from UV / Ozone sanitation (thanks!) I have a few questions and would love any feedback. Pool is 50' x 14' with 10' x 14' spa inside. 1. Designer found...

Thank you for your feedback. Good idea. Will ask about pavers for the coping. We're doing a modern style, not sure if it's cantilevered or if there's another possibility. OK, will ask PB about this. I know nothing about cleaner line vs skimmer vs robots or what a manual cleaner is, will...

Thank you for the links, I will research.

We have plans for and are looking to select a contractor for a pool in the Los Angeles south bay area. Details for the current option we're considering: Overall size: 13' x 37' Depth: Leaning towards 3.5' to 5.5' for a play/swim pool Spa: 7x7 with 6 therapy jets Plumbing: - recessed...
