Getting Finished - (Pool Build Central FL)

Re: Pool Finish Applied (Finally) - Pool Build Central FL)

Karl, our PB acid washed right after the plaster application and filled the pool immediately. In fact I went into the pool as it was being filled Probably not a good idea but the PB said if I was careful not to put too many foot prints in it. I was definitely swimming the very next day. The water was a little green however it cleared up later. I have pics to prove

Three hoses and 12 hours does a lot to a pool! Here are my pool fill pics. 2 were taken early morning, and 2 were taken mid morning. The other pic is of the spa spillway and its looking very promising.

Re: HELP! Your Input Needed - (Pool Build Central FL)

Here is a closeup of my pool finish (see photo). Also, I am soliciting everyone's opinion on their best guess on what color of Premix Marbletite pool finish I got ... here are the colors offered http://www.premixmarbletite.com/id20.html . Your opinion matters in this! I think I did not get the color that I wanted. Thanks in advance for your opinion

Looks to me like Midnight Blue or Tahoe, but certainly not Panama.

That looks like my color which is beach series Antigua. Did you take any pics of the bags the plaster came in?

Karl - Your pool looks amazing!!! My husband and I (new to this forum) also live in Central Florida and are getting super close to signing on a pool. If you have any light you can shed on who your PB is that would be so helpful as we narrow down our search for the right PB. Since you may not want to post the company name, feel free to PM me...and I'd be interested to hear in the Pros/Cons of your PB. Thanks and happy swimming!!

Looks like midnight blue to me, but I think it looks really nice. Your pool is beautiful! I love everything about it, especially the mosaics you chose.

Wow, those sample colors are worse than the PebbleTec ones.

Looks like Midnight Blue to me. But

They probably mixed the Plaster/Concrete on site and then added the 'Rocks' from whatever color they used. I asked my crew to mix up a batch of plaster with less black than normal. Then we added black 1 unit (not sure if it was oz, lb or what) at a time. My final color was 4 black (instead of 5).

Check out the photos I added to my thread

Thanks to everyone for their honest comments regarding the pool finish color! Equipment was installed on Friday and finished up on Saturday. Weather has been a PITA though ... much rain! Solar panels are on the roof and the solar plumbing will be connected Mon/Tues timeframe. Gas company says they'll be on site later in the week to sink the tank and run gas lines (heater, grill, fire pits). Fire pits are on order, later this month they arrive. I'll get some pics up as soon as the weather lets me ... we've had around 4+ inches of rain these past few days!

Be well,

KARL

Gas installed and solar connected last Friday ... Spa gets up to 94F with just solar flowing through it over the spa spillway. Pool temp ranges in the 84-87F range. The solar engineer says theres about 300,000 BTUs produced by the panels. Due to some color concerns, the pool is getting a bit of an acid bath this week to tone the color down a bit by exposing a bit more aggregate. We had the Sales VP for Premix Marbeltite pay a visit to give his blessings on PBs course of action. Low Voltage LED landscape lights are installed and I have some nightime photos taken with my phone to share. Firepits will be delivered very soon too! The intellibrite LEDs are pretty amazing. I expect to post more pics as the weekend gets closer. Until then, Be Well Everyone!
