Well, I have a 1000 gallon bottle buried....1st stage drops psi and feeds 1 1/4" line around perimeter of house....then at each appliance (fire pit - master temp - generator - fire bowls etc)
I drop to 3/4 with it own regulator.
System is rated at 3.4 million btu.
But yes bowls require 2 psi regulator with a 1/2" line. So they say......

@MyAZPool - heater and transformers should be in April 4th

And here is a little bit of additional info that I thought of today and left out of my initial information regarding Com Port connections in Post #298. If you are planning on utilizing the Wireless Transceiver (Client Bridge to Wireless Router) instead of a "Wired Connection", that is also a RS-485 Com Port connection.
I posted the addendum in Post #298

I just ordered my Pentair COM Port Expansion Module (520818) in anticipation of that upcoming Pentair update for the IntelliValves. I saw it on Amazon now for $57.90 (no shipping or taxes). That's about $4.95 less than PolyTec when I factor in the Amazon Prime 5% CashBack.
Thought I would share, in case you have not already ordered.
BTW, those FireWater Bowl Pedestals are looking great!

Well, they are making the mold for the 29" Wide - Square 13" High one in the next week or so. Then they said the will push me up to the front and pour them. They come out of Texas - so probably Christmas!!!!! LoL just kidding
I figure by end of April..........
Also remember there will be a 2" cap on top of this.....overall height (with cap) will be 29"

I am in BLING heaven!!! SIGH so pretty!!!

Now for the shelf and benches have they NOT grout it. We want the plaster to be the grout if possible!

Well, theres a problem with that...........not sure what finish we want - if we go with a larger pebble or glass - it wont fit!!!!!!
So - might hold off on steps until we make a decision on finish.
@bdavis466
Anyone have any input on finishes and step markers?
Could they possible mix a small batch of the color without larger parts in it, so it would get into the step markers?

I cant believe picking a finish is so difficult!

Small tile spacing pretty much has to get grouted which I don't care for. If you try with the pebble mix it looks worse than grout since only some pebbles fit

Sorry I can't offer much input concerning finishes (not good with that kind of stuff), but I can sure tell you that the tile and the travertine combo really looks great!! Very "Miami'" style...

[kimkats]

@bdavis466 but can they make/use/pull the pebbles out of the plaster to fill in for the grout?

We used delorean gray grout for glass tile and on the step markers. The grey blends seamlessly with the aqua blue plaster. Under water it is difficult to tell the two colors apart with dark blue tile.

 

[John_and_Val]

I am not going to have him grout the step markers just yet....gonna hold off until we decide on finish.
@MyAZPool
I got the new panel and heater yesterday. When I will get some pictures for you tomorrow.

I blended some grout to hopefully keep sand out of pool.....

Agreed!!! Great looking job. Really starting to look amazing... I got the photos of the expansion board on PM. Give me a day or two to look a few things over on that.
