    Pool Build (San Diego) - POOL FILLED PICS 8/31

    We added the acid this morning (PB came by) and now the PH is around 7.0-7.2 and he said to expect it to continue to creep up as the pepple finish pools tend to have the PH jump around a bit for the first month. I'm going to try to keep an eye on it.

    Well glad you got the choice! With ours the stone doesn't fit together quite as tight as yours so the thin layer of grout ended up making sense. Can't wait to see your project all finished!
