Great info! So I guess I should move it. Any idea what that would involve? I'm thinking I have to dig all the way down to the pool wall to see if I can physically shift where the conduit is laying? I mean I only need to move it a foot or two to the left or right from where it currently sits.

Hi All, I have a pool light junction box in my yard for my IG pool. As it turns out, I had an addition put on and now this thing is in a bad location -- sticking right up out of the ground in the middle of a walkway into my yard. I was originally thinking of trying to move it over a foot or...

I'm sort of faced as the same problem as you... trying to figure out if I should replace a Polaris 380 with a robotic unit since my booster pump is dead. At this point, I'm still not too sure what's a better option.

Well, uncovered my pool today. Tried to fire up the Polaris 380, but it looks like the booster pump is dead. Thinking about replacing it, but before I do, I was wondering... are there better vacuum options these days? Thoughts?

I took another photo of another section. It might be more obvious in this one. The concrete pool deck is on the left, then the tile strip they would use to fill the gap, then the actual coping on the right.

So my pool reno finally started. Company came to install coping/tiling yesterday and after laying the coping found there is going to be a 2-2.5" gap between the coping and deck. In measuring this morning, I found the bondbeam is 11". The coping they ordered is standard 12" and they are trying...

I had red brick safety coping -- replacing it now, but to answer your question no it's not at all uncomfortable!

For better or worse... I took the plunge and ordered the quartzite coping and matching tile... Pool demo starts tomorrow. Will post some pics soon!

NPT tile makes the combo I'm looking at... the Quartzite coping / Garden Havest 2x2 combo. http://www.flipdocs.com/showbook.aspx?ID=10007320_900438 page 76 I'm liking the natural stone look -- very unique.

Hi All, I was wondering -- is quartzite coping / tiling in style? Any pros/cons to using it?

Yea, the Mediterranean Blue looks like its a less bright than the Pacific Blue but not as dark as the French Gray -- seems kind of in the middle. I was thinking about pacific blue myself, as it really looks like it POPS out. I have a good link of a pic of a pacific blue pool if you want it...

Hi All, If anyone has a pool plastered with Hydrazzo Mediterranean Blue could you please post a pic? I've selected this color for my pool reno and am trying to figure out what tile line colors work well with this plaster. Thanks!!

Hey JasonLion, Thanks for the input on the plaster. Interestingly my quote for Hydrazzo is actually cheaper than the Diamond Brite... the installers for both are reputable. I'd never heard Hydrazzo is one of the most sensitive to chemical balance and Diamond Brite is one of the most durable...
