    How do I program an "override cutoff" for when I want constant spa operation without it cycling to the pool and pushing cold water in?

    Spa Temperature

    Newbie here in Texas. My pool and attached spa was finished in July. I have a Pentair Mastertemp 400 that limits to 104. The spa will get to about 103 according to ScreenLogic. Now that is cold out, when we get in, it just don't seem hot enough. I know the U.S. Consumer Product Safety...

    My Pool Build in Cypress, TX

    What species are the tall palms? I'm in DFW and planted a Windmill. They say Mexican Palms will not grow here, but that's the majority of what is for sale. I really like the Mediterranean Palm, do they always come in multiple trunks? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    As stupid as it sounds, is there a proper way to brush the new plaster? Sides first? Am I supposed to scrub or just push the brush over it like sweeping? What exactly does it do? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Well everyone sorry for the delay with posts. As most do we have encountered a problem with the installation of the decking. Basically they got the pavers laid and ready for sanding the joints. I chose Techniseal HD 2 Polymeric. This product requires a specific application where it is brushed...

    Anyone plant any Palm trees in north Texas? If so what kind? I like the Sago but they are very slow growing. Windmill are cool but they get huge. What about Pindo? Areca? I'll take any advice I can get. Thx. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Well the decking is coming along slowly. I hope once they get it down and run the compactor over the top it will smooth out more. I was wanting stamped concrete but was apprehensive for a couple reasons. - cracking, I was so worried about everything cracking and looking bad as time goes on. -...

    Thanks Kim. Hope it turns out and matches. Sub told me not many people go with such a dramatic border that's dark, but went on to say "your a rebel" and it's going to look awesome! And, to go with your first choice and don't second guess based on what all the followers are doing We shall see...

In one spot the mortar is showing through the grout. This ha to be fixed. Take a look at the pics and...

    Timeline for Payments

    No money up front, and a 10% holdover until final punch list complete. Non-negotiable. I paid 50% when 50% of the work was complete (less 10% holdover). If they need more before the final job is complete, I will pay according to how much of the job is complete, less 10%. No company should rely...
