No, but thank you for the suggestion. Will do this tonight! I've been doing it in the morning instead of at night and in the morning. It's looking much more clear, but the pH dropped again to 7.2 and we added Muriatic per the pool calculator to get it to 7.4. Our pool has more than 29,500 gal...

Thank you--I've updated things I believe... I've been studying the Pool School and using the Pool Calculator for the 2 years we've had the pool. It's incredibly helpful. The calculator has kept the water in balance when the SWG goes wonky. FC 5.5 CC 5.5 pH 8.0 (up from 7.2 on Sunday) TA 60 CH...

28,000 gal plaster pool with a SWG Using TF-100 test materials It was clear a week ago. It suddenly became cloudy and slightly green, and running the filter 24/7 isn't working. I can't see the drain cap in the bottom of the deep (8.5 ft) end, but can see the vacuum. Filter is less than 2 years...

Re: New Pool Build in Atlanta! (Updated 8/6) After the pavers were installed, the dirt removed from the pool excavation needed to be spread and the ground graded for the fence gates to be replaced. We were at the mercy of the weather and needed THREE DAYS with NO RAIN before they would even try...

Re: New Pool Build in Atlanta! (Updated 8/6) Pavers took a while to install. Partly because of the rain and partly because they didn't order enough, then we had to wait for more to be delivered, then more rain! They look great now that they're in the ground!

I guess you're too busy swimming to add filled pictures. ;) Enjoy!

The tile, coping, and stone work are stunning! The whole design is really beautiful. Congrats!

Re: New Pool Build in Atlanta! (Updated 8/28 PebbleSheen pic How's your build going? Our PB is highly recommended and regarded too, but their communication sucks. Every outside person we've talked to has said this PB is the best in Atlanta, so we are trying to stay calm and hope our build...

Re: New Pool Build in Atlanta! (Updated 7/29) It's uh, day 13? 14? 15? Lost count... Grounding grid installed: The pavers have been delivered! We have passed the electrical inspection, so hopefully they can move forward with the decking assuming the weather holds. Yesterday was dry and...

Update: The PB is replacing the tiles, but now we are on the "naughty list" I suppose. Nothing can proceed until they're done, and the response made it seem like they will not be in a hurry. Thanks for your feedback. I'm pulling this out from the build thread to hopefully get more replies. :)...

Re: New IG Pool in Cypress Texas! *New Pics 7/30/13* Very cool design!

Re: New Pool Build in Atlanta! (Updated 7/26) Day 12: Equipment and Electrical Roughing And today we failed the electrical inspection. I don't know what the codes indicate, but it means more delay. We're getting frustrated.

Re: New Pool Build in Atlanta! (Updated 7/26) Thank you! I believe it is Tennessee Fieldstone.

Re: New St. Louis Pool Fingers crossed for you! It's beautiful so far.

Re: New build, free form pool in North Texas We just got the invoice for one visit from the soil engineer. I can't imagine a week's worth. Hope your build progresses smoothly. :)

Re: New Pool Build in Atlanta! (Updated 7/13) Days 6 & 7: Tile The first day, the guys put up the white pegboard. Then it rained. The next day, they were able to put up the tile. Days 8-11: Coping and rock work It won't stop raining! The guys had to cover their work and run for it so many...

Re: New Pool Build in Atlanta! (Updated 7/13) Adding a couple of pictures from the far side... You can see the swim out here. And we didn't add to the lake in the bottom when we wet down the other surfaces.

Re: New Pool Build in Atlanta! (Updated 7/13) The PB's crew. As we understand it, all the subs our PB uses are exclusive (except Pebble-Tec) and quasi-employees. I know there's a legal distinction, but practically, it was the PB.

It looks great! Can you jump on in? :)

Yes; I started a new thread :) new-pool-build-in-atlanta-updated-7-13-t65091.html

Re: New Pool Build in Atlanta! (In progress, with pics) Day 5: Shooting the pool And then it rained! Luckily the 2" hail missed our house... Not sure what will need to be done to fix the river it created though.

Re: In Progress Pool Build (San Diego) Your plan is beautiful. And that view! It will be stunning.

Re: New Pool Build in Atlanta! (In progress, with pics) Day 4 (not elapsed time, ha!): cage construction Crater caused by rain Waiting for the county inspector to sign off, then it's time for gunite.

You may just have to swim through the rain! (As long as it's not lightning of course.) It doesn't seem like it's going to let up anytime soon. You'd be getting wet anyway, right? :)

Re: New Pool Build in Atlanta! (In progress, with pics) The driveway gate looked like a subdivision entrance. I think their staff needs a link to TFP. ;) The rain is crazy! The PB sent someone out to pump the deep end on Friday, and they'll need to come again tomorrow.

Looks like Barbie can't wait for the pool to be complete! ;)

While we were waiting for permits, we had to get one tree removed and relocate two Japanese maples and the kids' play set. Then a big storm came through and knocked over a huge, beautiful oak that crushed part of the fence and took out two other trees. :( This is the yard after the storm...

Wow!!! That is going to be stunning.

That is a very cool design. Love the rusting steel fence!

Are you looking to build in Atlanta? 4 of our quotes were pretty much in line with each other, then a lower 5th but I'm guessing they would back-end extras.
