Well we won't have a deep pool, but hopefully the jet sprays and waterfalls will help. May choose a lighter Wet Edge finish. We moved here from Virginia, so Texas heat is something we're trying to get used to. Thanks for your help !

Our dig is scheduled for tomorrow. Just talked with my son who has a pool in Georgia. He says the only problem they have with their pool is the water is sometimes too warm. Is there anything, outside of installing a chiller, we can add to the pool to help keep the water cool ? Do water features...

I said the same thing a week ago. We signed our contract April 13. Oops !! That should have told me something !! Here it is June 21 !! Anyway our dig is scheduled for tomorrow ! Hang in there, it will happen ! In a nice but assertive way, ask your pb where you are in line for the dig. Ask how...

Well I'm also indecisive about our Wet Edge finish. In our contract we're allowed any satin or Pearl matrix,and 3 prism matrix ( blue lagoon, southern lights,and moonlight). Our pool depth will be 9" tanning ledge, 4-4 1/2-5. We have moderate shade. We'd like an aquamarine color. I've looked at...

Pool is beautiful, dogs adorable ! Just hope my 3 doggies ( cocker & 2 King Charles cavaliers) take to the water !

We signed our contract April 13 and they are scheduled to dig this Monday. So excited !! I have tried to maintain my cool but it's been hard. But in the end we decided we'd rather wait for the rain to end, build a quality pool with as few problems as possible. I'm so glad we didn't push our pb.

Re: Skimmer install.....does this look right?? Response on 06-20-2015 What is your tile, it's very pretty ?

Absolutely gorgeous pool ! Congratulations and wishes for years of making FUN memories with your family !! We are just starting our pool. Would love to know what you used for coping and stacked stone. Also the step tiles. Thanks !!

Thanks for your help. I'm not sure I understand. But I'm very interested in your help.

Our dig starts Mon. Bring on the sunshine,Texas !! We've waited 2 mos ! We're going with a 4-4 1/2- 5 depth. But I see where most people have 4-5-4 1/2. Should I should change ?

Thanks for your suggestions ! We might go with an aqua waterline tile,that will tie in with our Wet Edge finish. On the 18" wall, stacked stone, use the same light travertine as our coping,may add some of the same tiles where the waterfalls are.

We will have a tanning ledge and were going with 12" depth. Will will also have Pentair LED color cascade bubbler. You are right about the depth. Our pb changed the depth to 9".

I need your help. We have an existing covered red/pink brick paver patio. So we will use the same brick pavers for our deck. What color water line tile would you suggest ? We will have an 18" retainer wall on the back side of the pool. Trying to decide whether to use split stone travertine or...

Suz, thanks for the pictures ! First, I love your shell beach ! And your bump out bench is a great idea. You are so thoughtful for all the help you give us newbies ! I have read many of your comments and not only have I learned a lot but have been entertained with your great wit ! As a Texan...

Thanks for your comments. I don't want to spend the money for the system. But my husband says, when we're out of town it'll clean itself, and not have to come home to a dirty pool. He doesn't want to use a pool service. He wants to keep the gate locked. So much for my patio furniture!
