It is specifically Forever Lawn North Central Georgia

We built a pool a few years ago - the one feature my wife wanted was a slide... She uses it almost every time we use the pool. She is a kid at heart! SR Smith Typhoon. -Tom

We have travertine around the pool and artificial turf beyond the travertine. We wanted no real grass to mow inside the fenced pool area. Kimkats is 1000% accurate - way to hot to walk on in bare feet when it has absorbed hot Georgia sun. While it looks to be shaded in the pic, that is around...

The plus side - since the pump runs - and I watch the chlorine levels - I have yet (knocks wood) had any algae issues since the pool was built. Also - to maintain the warranty on the pebble finish - I have to do monthly water tests at the builders retail store (2 miles from my house). If I...

Here is mine - sleeping comfortably. Freeze protect in action.

Just covered, still running. If the water temp is warm enough, the SWG produces chlorine, if not warm enough, I add chlorine as necessary to keep it from getting any algae. And for last year and this - when the air temps are under the freeze point - the freeze protect kicks in and keeps it...

I have the typhoon slide - but it was PB installed. I have not read the instructions, but make sure you are not attempting to set the anchors with the slide base installed. They must be set with the slide base removed. And make sure you do not overtighten any fasteners. The plastic/composite...

The mosaic and step tiles - who installed them? If part of the build, by the pool builder (subs) - then the height should be placed in accordance with how deep the plaster would normally be installed. If they did not do that - then they need to correct it, prior to plaster. If you had them...
