    New build - Katy, TX (near Houston)

    sorry to hear about the issues...but on the autofill, what you pictured is not the autofill device. That is just how they tap off of the water line and supply the autofill valve. The autofill valve will be mounted by the pool somewhere, it may look like a small skimmer basket hole. Unless that...

    Montgomery TX pool & patio build!

    Well it didnt take long to realize that a little more automation sure would be helpful! I bought the 10 gpd fixed rate pump and 7 gal tank along with the Woods outdoor timer that many members on here have suggested. I've only had it running for a day now but i think i'm really going to like it...

    Looks really good! And thanks for the info on the stenner pump, i'd like to see more of your install when you get to that point. I really like the rolled edge on the spa. Great feature!

    Thanks guys! Going to have some family over on Friday for our first pool party. Water temp is 68 now, any bets on how long it will take to heat the pool to 85-90?

    Hey guys, a bit of an update now that we're getting some sun and warm days finally! I wanted to show how the plaster has cured and the color it finally settled on. It seemed like it changed almost every day during the first startup month. Again this is Wet Edge Luna Quartz St. Maarten. Here is...

    Rising PH and spillover

    Please keep us posted on your results. I too am fighting a similar fight with rising ph due to a spillover. However my TA is "in range" and ph is still rising. Thanks for posting

    New Build In Sanger, TX

    man that whole project turned out great! congrats! I've been fighting pH creeping up on mine too, even with moderate TA levels. I attribute it to the new curing plaster and a spa overflow that trickles all the time. Let us know if you come up with a solution for yours, however I suspect it...
