Thanks! It has gotten a little more blue since I took those photos on day one, after all our brushing and maintenance. It really is a great color for hiding dirt and leaves on the bottom - my husband has to get in the pool to find any.

It's not a jet, but is part of the circulation system. There is a setting on the pump controlls that we can change to make it bubble up just a little in the middle, or really get "angry" (higher) and have some significant overflow into the pool. I will try and take some photos this weekend and...

Thanks! We use that ledge a lot! We have quite a few young kids in our extended family, so it's perfect for them, but I love it for just relaxing on as well.

Thank you! We did not get foot jets, but do have a "volcano" effect, which is especially fun when the light program is on red. :) The spa easily seats 8, so it does feel very roomy.

Re: New Build in Phoenix *UPDATED 7/10/13* I know you asked Gumby, but I will add my answer too. We did the same Pebblesheen color as Gumby and added abalone as well. Our pool is in full sun most of the day, and the abalone is noticeable when you are in/very close to the pool. The installers...

Re: Starting the process in North Phoenix Beautiful! Looks similar to ours, but I like your higher back wall and planters. Nice touch! We love our travertine, it turned out so pretty. Everyone who sees it comments on it.

Re: New Build in Phoenix *UPDATED 7/10/13* When you get time I would love to see some daytime photos of the water... just for comparison. We did the same pebble as you - Ocean Blue sheen with abalone. I love the color. Thought it would be too dark after seeing a neighbors pool that had it...

Thanks. And yikes. That is what we were worried might need to happen... right in the middle of our hottest weather is not an ideal time to have to drain and refill a pool. :(

Our pool was complete last week, and we chose Ocen Blue pebble sheen. We have been faithfully brushing every day and there still seems to be a lot of excess plaster on the bottom of the pool, causing it too look like a more milky/aqua blue, even greenish. The sides and baja step are fine...

Thank you - feel free to pm me if you want to come look at the pool. We will tell Gary that he can bring you by if you are interested, or considering using similar materials. I know for us it was helpful to see another pool that used the type of decking and pebblesheen we were considering.

Thank you! That picture doesn't really show it at "full bubble". The kids love it, and we love the sound it adds to the backyard. It's amazing how peaceful it is.

Thank you! The coping is Tuscany travertine, and the decking is 25% Noce travertine mixed with 75% Scabos travertine.

Re: Starting the process in North Phoenix Great news! He has been so great to work with and you can tell him your recommendation was from Karen and Shawn in Glendale. We just jumped in our pool today!

The final product! We are thrilled that our contractor beat his date by 3 days so that our pool was ready for swimming on this crazy hot day! I love the color too, was a little concerned that it would be too dark, but our pool gets full sun all day and the blue is gorgeous. The abalone...
