Thanks Ted! LOL!

Ok, so it seems like it is the SWG causing the bubbles! Thanks for the solution Mark! So I guess I need to research how much bubbleage is normal for an Aqua Pure 1400. Mods can move this thread if you think it should. Rob

I can see a few very small bubbles in the basket, but not many at all. I do have a SWG, but I can't imagine the amount of bubbles I'm seeing come from that, but maybe they do. That would make sense with the cell turning on and off. I could try turning it off for a good amount of time and see if...

Hi all! This has been happening since my pool was new(July 2008). Air bubbles coming from the returns. The kicker is that it's intermittent, about 10 minutes of bubbles then 10 minutes of no bubbles. My builder hasn't found the problem, although they haven't REALLY tried(that's another story...

Re: Stever's Pool Build (PICTURES FILLED!) Looks great, Steve! Congrats!! :party: Now you gotta jump in... :poke: Rob

Thanks landmark! The tile is Master Tile's Stardust Series. It really looks nice in person...not the crazy blue my camera makes it look like. BTW, you've got quite a big project going on in your backyard! The plumbing makes my head spin just looking at the pics!! It all looks great!!! Rob

Wow, huge thanks to everyone for the kind words!!! :wave: Yeah, I'm still here Joyce! I've just been so crazy busy I haven't had time to post anything at all. I'll be sticking around for a while! 8) Anytime Anemone! Just let me know when you're around. Any chance you're into reefkeeping? We...

Well, for those still interested, here's a huge photo update! BTW, the waterfall is work in progress... :wink: Rob

Thanks John! :) Nothing much new to report... They showed up yesterday to move the waterfall boulders from my driveway to the pool area, so hopefully that will come together soon. The weather has improved, so maybe that will help move things along...I hope! :( Rob

Look, John...I know you're excited and all, but do we have to remind you of basic pool safety? Jeez... NO GLASS IN THE POOL AREA!!! :wink: Everything looks really great and I'm still extremely jealous! Congrats!!! Rob

Cool, John!!! I just took a peek at the radar for you too. It looks like a good day for plaster!!!! Give us an update tonight. :) Rob

Wow...what a roller coaster ride that was! Hopefully you'll be done with it soon!!! And I'm starting to feel this rain we've been having will never end... :grrrr: Rob

June would be great, John! We'll see I guess... Here's a few pics of the new fieldstone coping! I'm really happy with the workmanship. I think they did a great job... Rob

Wow...it looks really great, John! Everything's coming together now! And I thank the "Beer Gods" for pulling you through! :) I'll need them next... :lol: Rob

Broken camera, John??? :P hehe... What's going on? Rob

Thanks John! Thanks Joyce! Well, things are moving painfully slow right now. I'm getting a little discouraged... :roll: As it stands, the plumber still has to come back and move one pump, I haven't heard from the electrician or concrete deck guy at all, and the propane guys are...

Oh, sorry Cindy, I didn't know you were the builder. I wish I could help!!! Rob

Wow, Cindy, I have to agree...you guys shouldn't be doing that! The PB should take care of ALL that clean up. With that kind of weather coming, the hole should have been covered before the rain even started. Let them fix it! ;) Rob

Here's a few new pics!!! I'm told by the PB that it's "epoxy paint". It's what they do I guess... I can't argue it because I'm clueless on that one. Well, we have tile(Master Tile Stardust Series)and equipment set... Rob

Oh, man... I'm getting jealous!!! Sounds great though! So... let's see the deck when you get a chance. Rob

It's looking great, John! I'm glad you have some action now. I'm really bummed we're so far behind you...:( I can have fun following yours though! Rob

Yes, the bottom of the shelf and the curb up the back is all covered. I guess I'm trying to find out about the choice of material used. Will tar sitting in water last? Will it do anything funky to the water? Rob

Thanks for the replies, guys! Here is a closer pic of the shelf before the tar coating. I'm estimating the stone will be sitting in about 3" of water. Does this all make sense? :? It's raining here today, so I'll try to get a pic with the coating tomorrow.

I haven't talked to my PB about this yet because I wanted to see what you guys think. I'm having a small waterfall done and my PB is using a shelf to build it on. The stone that sits in the shelf will be sitting in about 3-4" of water. I came home the other day to find the gunite shelf coated...

Yeah, John, things are in the slow stage for us. We now have the equipment set and tiles ordered. I really need some help with this one... I've searched and searched looking for info on the waterfall building process. I can't find much and I'm assuming there are quite a few methods around...

I believe that is correct. A lot of extra gunite is generated while the shell is shot. They will use this "extra" gunite to build up and shape the steps. Rob

Looks great, John! I'm pretty sure being overridden on the tiles is equivelant to 1 big screen tv for you. Man rule #137a subsection 2.7 (swimming pool design clause). ;) Rob

Mushroom man says "Thumbs up" on the kabobs, Joyce!!! :whoot: hehe... Thanks John! I think you're just a little bit ahead of us...we just got the equipment delivery. So, we're waiting to set that and schedule the plumbers, electricians, and propane guys. We're also just picking out the tile...

I'm no expert, but I think you'll be ok. It looks like your PB did a really nice job on staking it out and the steel work, so they should be able to set it straight. And six weeks for permits??? Wow.. if you can make it through that, you can make it through anything!!! Rob
