    New pool build in North Texas! A long and skinny pool....

    Yes, the silver smoke is beautiful! It was super dark and we loved it. Overtime, it lighten up quite a bit . So no worries about the color being too dark!

    New pool build in North Texas! A long and skinny pool....

    After almost three years since the completion of our pool, we finally took the plunge of making the last modification to our house to compliment our little backyard oasis. We removed all the lowers windows in the living room and installed a double sliding Marvin door instead. So now we can see...

    Yes, we are enjoying our pool. And it is fabulous! I am still telling my horrible tale of pool building to my friend to make sure that they do their research and get on this site to learn what to watch out for.... Other than that, it is so easy under the hot Texas sun, we get to jump in and...

    New pool build in North Texas! A long and skinny pool....

    Sorry... I did not see your post till now. We use the laticrete permacolor grout, I think it is midnight blue or something like that.... It is blue/grey and blends in well.... Not sure if you have already done your grout...but white may be too much of contrast.. Sent from my SM-N900V using...

    Kreepy Crawly Racer

    I use. It is nice to use it. The hose will stir up the little things at the corners and does pretty good job. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Sand Blasted Colored Concrete

    Sandblasting is great. I have my patio deck done with sandblasting. The surface treatment works best with the integral color concrete instead of the surface color concrete. We choose our concrete patio with Davis color call Slate or something like that. It is a nice dark grey when wet but...

    Cleaning narrow trough - what to use?

    If you look at my pool.... You will see that I have a whole lot of those narrow water channels around the infinity spa and also the I pool deck and stepping pads.... Looks pretty, but it is a pain to maintain..... I use a plain old plastic broom with stiff plastic bristles and I brush and push...

    pump speed and SWG - how slow can I run?

    It really depends on your pool and how many things the pump needs to support. My pump is to support all the returns, skimmers and an infinity spa...... With lower than 2400 RPM... The pool is not happy, the skimmers are barely auctioning and the spa barely overflow.... So, many of the friends...

    New pool build in North Texas! A long and skinny pool....

    You are right! We really thought long and hard before we made the decision to build a pool in this small yard.... However, 10 ft width is not bad at all.... The only thing that we wish to be different is actually the swim pool portion to be longer.... Right now we have about 35 ft of pool...
