We tried to get a concrete deck that looked tan... but it looks like regular concrete - maybe a little tan when wet, but not when dry. Whatever color you really want, my advice is to pick the color that is two shades darker. Then you might get what you really want.

This is mamasproject's husband.... This pool was finished in Oct of last year. Two things out of the ordinary happened with it: 1) It has a Maui Gem quartz finish and there were some white areas we noticed after the pool was filled. It kind of looked like the plaster was bleeding through or...

Scott - question about filter size. We have a 25K gallon gunite pool, just built. I requested a Quad DE from the pool builder, but I didn't specify the size. He put in a Quad DE 60 (and Intelliflo VS pump). I guess I expected a Quad DE 80, although my fault for not specifying. Is there any...

OK, let me ask you these questions... 1) Is using the bromine more convenient? That is, I've read here that with a chlorinator and Trichlor pucks, that eventually the CYA will get high unless there is some dilution, so just loading up it up with pucks every so often will eventually give me...

Thanks. I'm still up in the air about it. I've told the pool builder we want to go with chlorine instead, but nothing has been built yet so I could change my mind. It's going to be more expensive, but on the other hand seems like less trouble (using the Brominator, not dealing with CYA...

Could be - I can't find any reviews on it, but I found the manufacturer's web site (Pyramid Cement): http://pyramidcement.com/pages/mauigem_photogallery.htm The cost wasn't outrageous. We are going with the Shark Skin color. (That's not our pool or house...)...

Yes, he does want us to use bromine tablets. He also did originally propose a cartridge filter, but as of right now we have changed that to a DE filter (nothing is installed yet). How does the filter relate to using bromine? I like the idea of a cartridge filter, but the replacement...

We are looking at getting our first IG pool (20x40, gunite, probably 25-28,000 gal). I know almost nothing about pools... The PB recommends using bromine. I've read it's more expensive, but less odor and feels nicer. I've read it is usually used in spas and indoor pools (ours is outdoor)...

Anyone familiar with "Maui Gem" quartz finish? I can't find much information or opinions on it.
