I did get a reply this morning.

I have an M500 that died after 4 years unfortunately and repair is $600. I never really used any of the added features on it. An S200 looks to be more applicable to my needs at a more friendly price to replace every 4-5 years. I have tried to reach Marina Pool Spa by phone and I get a "Mailbox...

If you are going with OmniLogic (or any other automation option with phone/app control) I strongly agree with going VSP, but primarily for water feature control as opposed to trying to get any power saving on the filter run. It's really nice being able to fine tune our waterfall and other...

Re: pooldv pool thread Go google raclette cheese. Figure out how to make it work on that stove. Enjoy all winter. Thank me later. plat.

Fortunately the weather here in Houston is extending the season out just a tad.... Zombie 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice 1/2 ounce falernum 1 1/2 ounces gold Puerto Rican rum 1 1/2 ounces gold or dark Jamaican rum 1 ounce 151-proof Lemon Hart Demerara rum 1 teaspoon grenadine 6 drops Pernod dash...

Another vote for the 4-5-4 layout. I'm 6' and my wife is 5' 3". There's a "sweet spot" for both of us to hang out at. plat.

Re: pooldv pool thread You are getting close to internet meme status with the foot thing. plat.

We had 2 wall anchors put in left and right of the jet for this specific purpose (kneenboard, floaties, tupes, etc...). To be honest though, while on the kneeboard, I got a little nervous at the amount of stress I was exerting on them to hold on. Need to talk to the builder about that. A floatie...

I've had all of 3 chances to get in with our brand new RiverFlow jet and am digging it so far. It's dead quiet, throws out a HUGE amount of water and it doesn't use venturis so there is no extra foam or bubbles in the water stream. Communication with them took some effort as well for us some...

Been running 79/80* during the day. OmniLogic says it's 78* right now. It's definitely below our "hanging out" temp range. For active swimming it's a good temp, but it is just a little too "refreshing" when I jump in until I get acclimated. I did pull out a knee board and tried to get up on the...

Yes. My buddy sent me pics of this morning's take to help rub it in..... They're having a good time as usual. It's a 1000 acre ranch about 40 miles south of Uvalde. So I got in yesterday for 3 minutes to just test the jet out. I couldn't wait any longer. It's ridiculous on high. I have 0%...

Re: pooldv pool thread How many sq ft of panel and pool surface do you have? I know you said it's not enough in an earlier post, but that it does help recovery from cold fronts. We ran 3" supply and return lines for a solar upgrade in the future, but your heat pump deal is making me consider...

Classic! Some things are universal. plat. - - - Updated - - - Thanks! Regular Theraflu and Chinese Theraflu (Hot & Sour Soup) are on the menu right now. Hopefully by Monday I shake this thing totally. plat.

Re: New Pool Build in SW Austin, TX - We Have Gunite!! - New Pics! Well now I need to go check this out on our build. We're all Hayward with OmniLogic and I'm digging it so far. plat.

Well the swimjet is up and running, but I haven't been able to try it. My wife came home from a business trip last week and was/is sick. Turned out she's got a double pneumonia. I ended up getting her cold this week that got her sick in the first place and am out of commission as well. Had a...

That is an outdoor arrangement and rated for rain/sun, but the exterior fabric will still hold water which is not good for anyone who is not already wet. Probably we'll just institute a dry off and put your towel on them kind of deal. We don't have kids, so it won't be too hard to manage. The...

The sound is great. What is cool is the variable speed pump. You can dial it down for just a calm trickle or let it go full speed to Splashville. It's not a roar when on high though. I have definitely heard much louder waterfalls. I don't think we'd really want it any louder then it is on full...

Marla, We're still figuring our automation out, but I like it so far for a few reasons. One is for the specific reason you are thinking about it. Our builder had us set up first thing a scheduled daily run of all features, if even for just 5 minutes, to make sure water is not stagnating in the...

OK, my bad, I did have a couple more pics I can post. Here are two good ones our builder took right after landscaping went in. I think they capture the project pretty well. plat.

It was a busy last couple of days prepping for our party. I promise I will get some nice glamour shots to share. For now, I have this one. Blue pool lighting and a green uplight on the waterfall. plat.

The waterfall is awesome. Looks and sounds great. The variable speed pumps are perfect. So convenient to tweak the flow by just a little bit. It looks great in the daytime and at night with the uplight underneath, it is truly amazing. Ha! We're not much about posting selfies, so the pups may...

She had already healed up when we adopted her. That was part of the issue. The vet said that somebody obviously nursed her back, but that they did not get her the needed medical care because her breaks did not set right. Hence the surgery. The heart worms were the very first thing we dealt with...

Landscaping going in. Everything placed here still in containers. We're tweaking the final locations on a few things still. We're also going to have to wait until Spring for several key plantings. Foxtail palms aren't available anywhere right now. We're also needing to get a Yucca Gloriosa and...

Some more miscellaneous update photos. Here is a good closeup of the spa tile in the sun with water flowing over the top. Good view of the BeadCrete as well. The pups not really sure what to expect. A life jacket for the smaller one because we're not sure with her. She was an adoption...

Another Kingwoodian and Eastexer!!!! Too funny! Second place was Marquis Pools. Marlohoutex used them, so she could provide firsthand info. We really liked their proposal as well. plat.

Thanks! Landscaping today, tomorrow and probably Saturday as well I am guessing. plat.

OK, Spa finally filled.... There is a ton of stuff in the water right now. Waiting to start up the pumps/filter. Few more hours. plat.

Spa half full. So close!! plat.

Thanks! Pool is filled. Going to call it 15,900 gallons. Filling spa now. plat.

Thank you. Truly. plat.
