I bought a house with a pool that has a moss rock water fall (not the pool in the profile pic...that's old pool). The water fall has two areas where the water spills down into a recessed area, that then fills up and then spills over into pool. Well, these recessed areas do nothing but collect...

So, my current pool (in profile pic) was built by A&S and has Hayward LED's. They have been nothing but issues burning out. I am buying another house that has a pool and has the standard 120V white pool lights as it's a little older pool. I would love to put LED lights in it (not hayward!)...

My current pool is 4 years old and has Hayward lights. I am on 3rd spa light and pool light is out. Junk.

tstex: Must be a picture thing because I don't know what you're referencing and there were no lines in the pool before the fill. That pic was right after the acid wash. It was Modern Methods who did the Pebble Brilliance...they were contracted out by Total Pool Care. It's a completely...

Ok, so the project is done. And what a difference. The PebbleBrilliance is absolutely amazing looking and the pool is filling up as I type this. I will say this, a full chip out and replaster is not for faint of heart. They will absolutely destroy your pool in the process. Your pool will...

Ok, well since nobody was able to help, maybe I can help the next person in Houston looking for a replaster job. I got 3 bids on resurfacing. First one from Anthony and Sylvan (I had a great experience with them building the pool and would not hesitate to use them again) who now does remodel...

Nobody in Houston on here that's done a resurfacing?

I have a 2.5 year old A&S pool. During the build I wanted a plaster or surface that was darker for a deeper blue color. They talked me out of it (before I really knew about pool chemistry) telling me that if I shock a pool that has a darker surface I run the risk of having white blotches in...

I have had a Stenner pump pumping my chlorine for about a year and a half. Bought it new. And in that time it's done nothing but break down. Lines breaking, Check valved failing, Roller heads failing, gears stripped off inside motor drive, etc. Nothing but trouble. Very unreliable. Is...

Thanks guys. Have not done vitamin C test yet. Haven’t had time. I have the Taylor 2006 test kit. I just took the sample to the pool store because I knew their spin test checked for iron.

Thank you...I took a sample to a pool store that has one of the testing kits that that spins the water. It's a very expensive brand and it tests for iron. Here's the results: FC 3.93 CC .59 PH 7.3 Cal 247 TA 41 CYA 3 Copper 0 Iron 0 I need to get my CYA back up as the rain water has...
