Thanks Cowboy. We're going forward with the pool but would still like to hear experiences.

We currently have a Tallman pool with bench seats but we are moving and considering buying a Tallman pool with bucket seats. These are built-in seating areas where there is room for 2 people to sit but the seat is divided. I would like to know if anyone has a pool with these seats and what you...

We're still looking good. We didn't use the chlorinator this winter. Instead, we used the non-chlorine shock. We're still doing the weekly and monthly maintenance according to the start-up guide and putting everything in the skimmer. My Taylor test kit was getting a little old so I just ordered...

I checked the pool again and didn't see any abnormalities so it may have been shadows or something else. I haven't checked the pool vacuum but will let you know if I see the blue residue. It's only been 4 months for us though. I think you had yours done much earlier than us.

Hi seribus, It's kind of funny, but just yesterday as we were leaving for our morning walk I looked at the pool and thought I started seeing some of the haze starting. I haven't gotten back to looking into it real closely due to the weather, but I'll try tomorrow. We have been following the...

Hi seribus, We had the pool refinished on 9/2. I followed the startup process to a t. In talking to one of the guys that was doing the refinishing, he said to allows add anything to the pool in the skimmer. Obviously, not salt, but everything else. We've got the pool chemistry close to...

I haven't posted any photos of what my pool looks like now. You must be looking at the old pics. It's starting to look chalky again. My swg is at 60%. We are in it every day and on the weekends we generally have 6 or 8 others.

Not confused. There are 5 types of chlorine. Bleach is sodium hypochlorite. I was told I can't use that in my ecoFINISH pool. A second type of chlorine is Calcium hypochlorite. Seribus was using that and was told it caused the issues with his ecoFINISH finish so we can't use that. A third type...

Hi Seribus, I haven't heard from Tony so waiting on refinishing. Sent a long letter to the president of ecoFINISH. There are too many discrepancies in the stories we are being told. I'm not holding out hope that I'll hear back based off of other communications with them. If I don't hear...

Hi seribus, you might want to call Tallman pools. Ask to talk to Rebecca. She was under the impression that only one other person had an issue with ecoFinish and that was someone that only had it in one spot where their floating chlorine dispenser was sitting in one spot in the pool. I didn't...

Hi seribus, I talked to someone at Tallman pools and at first they said they would get Tony to fix my pool for free. She called back today and said we would have to pay half. I'm still concerned about the same thing happening. I'm going to keep meticulous records even though ecoFinish says you...

Tallman never looked at my pool. They sent the folks from ecoFinish to refinish my pool.

Hi seribus, I wanted to check and see if you were still having success with your pool. I finally got Tony to respond to me yesterday and found out that you can't use chlorine in the pool with the ecoFINISH product. That was the first I had heard that. I did look at the link you shared on...

Hi Dragonvid, From what I understand, there was a gelcoat issue with pools built between 2014 and 2016 but not necessarily just Tallman pools. They do not know what causes the issue. I was told that the way you can tell if your pool has an issue is by stripes in the bottom of the pool where the...
