I have the same issue on my glass tile. My tile looks almost the same as yours. The discoloration is under the glass tiles and cannot be cleaned from the surface. Were you able to find a solution. We are unfortunately now looking at having to replace our tile. Not sure if this is a common...

Interesting. I am also looking at similar tile from Artistry in Mosaics and was thinking the yellow/brown in this tile from the sample looks so different from your actual (real) picture. It looks good on your pool. I will have to look at this sample again.

Yeah found blue white has simple flow meters Blue-White Pool and Spa - The Industry Leader In Flowmeters. Just to know actual GPM. Thanks

Nice! We are starting a build with a very similar design but flipped with the spa/sun shelf on the other side.

Hi, our new pool build will have a Hayward TriStar VS pump with OmniLogic automation\control. Does this pump or the Omni have a flow meter to see gpm or gph at the different pump RPMs?

Possibly try Modern Method gunite in Houston..

Also remember if your deep end is in the middle, both ends will have a steeper slope to the middle and might be less comfortable to stand on. If your deep end is on one end, the slope will be more gradual and give you more usable space for the kids.

Anyone in Houston or South Texas using the Pentair Heat/Cool pump that could give their opinions of how its working for them would be greatly appreciated..!

Thanks for the ideas. I dont believe solar panels are allowed in my area. The solution needs to be able to cool the pool as well June - August.

Im looking for an option to both heat and cool a 25k gal pool in Houston, TX. Wondering if it would be a good idea to get the Pentair 125k BTU Heat Pump (71k BTU Cool) or if I should get the Pentair Master Temp 400k BTU and a Glacier GPC210 Chiller. Both options (equipment only) is within...

Not sure if I should start a new thread since so much info already here. How does the Houston, TX climate affect if a heat pump/chiller is preferable to a gas heater? This will be for a new pool build which will have a spa. Is the heat pump only able to heat the pool water but not the spa...

Note this is from the Glacier chiller manual: "Understand that salt is a corrosive mineral. Salt likes to remove ions and can take zinc away from galvanized steel and this type of chlorine is five times harder on pool equipment than regular chlorine. As such, use of a salt system may lead to...

Wondering if SWCG is still recommended for a new pool build we are planning. I had a pool built about four years ago at a previous house and we used a SWCG back then. Are they still recommended? Is it possible to have lower maintenance with just a standard rainbow style "puck" auto chlorinator...
