Thank you for the feedback. Yeah my mistake on the 'flexible grout' - I'm just not familiar with the correct terms. Do you think there is any recourse I have here along the lines of generally accepted pool coping construction guidelines not being followed? Or will this just be an argument to...

Hi everyone, Our IG saltwater pool was completed just about 2 years ago and everything has been mostly good - we love it! I started noticing cracks forming both between the coping stones and the patio stones, as well as in the grout between the patio stones during the summer, so less than two...

Someone may have said it already but contact your water provider and see if you can get a credit on your water bill since the thousands of gallons going into the pool won’t enter the city sewer system. Unless you’re on a septic tank Then none of this is relevant!

an outside shower is n my long list of ‘would be nice’ items. Placement wouldn’t be near the house and I’d be using a dedicated line from my sprinkler setup so no direct hot water option. So I was investigating a solar shower setup Like This one. My intended location would be in the sun for...

We went with ocean blue and got the sun almost all day until about 4:30pm. The hottest our pool got was back during the June heatwave and I think it was 91 or 92 for a day or two.

Maybe you’re witnessing evolution in action. Maybe bugs of yesteryear all sank but now, at least, sme have deformed or evolved so as to not sink and to leverage water tension to remain at the surface. And better yet, maybe there are some of those same or very similar bugs that have been able to...

Vertical Clarity? Schmertical Schmarity - those drains are at least 30ft away. Thank you TFP!! Daniel.
