I agree to avoid pebble over plaster if you want the surface to feel soft. I recommend pmm marquis marbletite, that is what I have on mine and looks and feels great. I did not have any plaster dust at startup compared to my previous pool which was just plain white plaster, that did create dust...

whatever you get, make sure it is SCH 40 PVC

looks like a temp probe but the cord is broken?

How many gallons? Typical installations are 400k btu.. Also, how close is the propane tank and what is its size? When I lived in Maryland, we installed a 400k BTU natural gas heater on a 18k gallon pool.

looking at your pictures, if you remove too much of the existing mortar it could damage the waterline tile.. Try using a chisel and get at least 1/4"-1/2" out.

If these travertine pavers were installed over concrete then most likely that looks like mortar, not grout. You have to use an angle grinder with a ceramic disk and clean all those lines with cement before grouting.

thats an incredible build! I also did my pool but shotcrete and plaster, however it was nothing like that!

Thanks for the suggestions, do you mind explaining why the weak link is the filter? I thought I bought the top of the line cartridge filter from pentair :D (Clean & Clear Plus Cartridge Filter 520 sqft. - 160332). The flow rating on it is up to 150GPM.. Maybe I should have bought a DE filter?

so i have a 10k gallon pool that has an attached elevated spa. It has 3 main drains (2" individual pipes) and one skimmer line (2") for suction and three 2" pipes that feed 5 returns and 6 spa jets... Since i have the intelliflo vsf, i am not sure how much gpm can the system take when i am in...

i did, i am still waiting for it.. Its true, sounds too good to be true but its worth the risk IMO since its Amazon

x2 for the intelliconnect, its $100 on amzn

my vsf is also maxed out at 100 gpm and that is increasing the max pressure to 35psi

how about those spa jets 🤣.

Yes, I do have a 3 way valve for that one

So i have an intelliflo vsf on my 10k gallon pool and i just installed an ichlor 30 on the pool return line. I read that this SWG requires a minimum of 20 gpm and a maximum of 105 gpm to operate but it doesnt say anything about absolute max gpm without operation to prevent damage... Sometimes i...
