My brother has purchased a Del Eclipse 4, 220V ozonator, but is not able to use it in his pool. He has offered to sell it to me at about 1/3 of retail. I have read mixed reviews on this forum about ozonators as a stand alone unit. I wouldn't normally purchase one, but at this price is it a...

We are picking out the tile for around the waterline of the pool. We have found some travertine tile that we would like to use, however my wife had heard that it is not good to use marble/travertine under the waterline because it will breakdown. Has anyone here had experience with Travertine...

Yeah, St. Augustine is even worse, it's what we use to call Crab Grass up north.

Great website! The grass at the ball fields are bermuda grass, but it sounds like that is not recommended for residential applications. It sounds like Zoysia is what we are looking for. If anyone has had this grass I would be interested to hear if they liked it or not. Thanks,

Our pool is going to have a raised grass area framed in coping as a deck. I would like to use something besides St. Augustine because it's so uncomfortable to walk/sit on. Does anyone have any suggestions. I like the type of grass they use at the ball fields here, but I don't know what kind...

We would like to use a different grass in our raised bed. Does anyone know what kind of grass they use in Florida at the football/soccer fields?

Wow in three days these guys have marked, dug, tied steel, and formed. We get inspected on Monday and they will shoot on Tuesday. All of this in one week, I have talked to several people that said it took them 3 weeks w/ their pool company to get this much done. (St. Augustine - But it's such...

My wife and I are going to build our own pool and fence, we'll be the GM anyway. You can check out our progress at http://www.buildingmydreampool.blogspot.com We start digging tomorrow!!! Here is what we hope for it to look like when we are finished...

Re: New/old home in Florida re-plaster/reno saga continues... Not much to add, except I love the shape of your pool, and the deck.

Now that I had a cup of coffee and few more minutes to think about I'll add 2-3' of pavers next to the pool on the raised grass deck. That way I can still keep the look of the grass but not have as many issues w/ the grass clippings, plus that will be the high traffic area so less lawn...

Yeah, we were concerned about that, so we are putting river rock around the big 4x4 stepping stones, and putting pavers where the garden boxes are but plan on leaving the grass on the deck area. We're in Florida and trying to find a slow growing grass different from St. Augustine. If it gets...

We are just starting our pool. The dig starts next week. Our goal is to have our pool look very similar to this photo. I know how we will get the top coping but how to we attach the bottom coping. At this time we're planning on having the entire beam shot with gunite. Any ideas? Should I...

I live on Merritt Island. I see you used All In One Pools, I've known several people that have used them and have been very happy with there pools. Steve is a great guy. We have also put in some fences for them in the past. We would have used them however because my brother owns a pool...
