    Pool Under Construction SWG vs Chlorinated

    A SWG is a winner just on convenience alone. It just makes it a heck of a lot simpler to chlorinate your pool all the time.

    Howdy from Houston

    Tanning ledge is fine if you think you’ll actually use it. Small kids, grand kids, like that area. But put it off to the side if you want one and leave the middle open for swimming/playing. Just my two cents. I love ours. The dogs use it a lot too. It’s kinda their spot! This is a great...

    Pool Build

    Texantoasted, Hey there neighbor, congrats on getting a pool soon. I want to mention something that was said earlier but I think you already know......we don’t close pools in League City! It doesn’t get that cold here. You will or at least can use your pool/hot tub year round. Heating is...

    Proposed New Build Houston Suburb

    missunstoppable, Congrats on getting a pool and welcome to TFP! You have come to the right place to learn about building a pool and taking care of it. Pool looks good though I would consider moving the steps if you want to be able to do full laps w/o them in the way. Also, I would get a...

    Should I not waste time getting bids from TX pool builders who are against SWCG?

    My pool builder is in north Houston and they didn’t discourage me from getting a SWG. I was wary of PB’s that wanted me to not get one. I told all the PB’s I wanted a SWG.

    Quarantine Pool Build - Please Critique!

    It’ll be fine with a SWG. Salt damaging travertine is a myth in Texas for some reason. I only have travertine coping but I can’t tell you, over a year and a half later, everything is fine.

    Houston pool build - all filled up, time to swim!

    Looking good! I like the idea of different color finishes for the spa and pool. I thought about doing our tanning ledge a different color. It wasn’t expensive relative to the price of the pool but I’d already spent more than I wanted so I mixed the idea. Can’t wait to see how yours comes out.

    Clarification on Ozone vs. UV---High daily FC loss

    Nice looking pool neighbor! Sorry you’re having some FC loss issues but it seems you’re almost there. Always good to see another LC resident on here! Surprisingly, I seem to have had one of the few builders that didn’t try to talk me out of a SWG. Been worth every penny. When buying your...
