VERY happy with both the finish, and the builder. We have had zero issues with the equipment/construction. We did have a couple of user errors though..... :wink: We get TONS of compliments on the color as well. I can't give enough kudos to Pearland Pools. They did us right. They were...

New pool owner....first Spring coming up. I am "used" to using Scotts Bonus S with Fire Ant Killer for my lawn. It seems to work really well in Houston to battle the weeds and the ants that always seems to pop up. Normal application is done thru a simple wheel driven spreader. Any...

Thanks guys. I will do the full test this weekend and post the results.

Plaster was done on 6/28. The CYA test was done @ Warehouse Pool Supply. I have the TF Kit, but haven't ventured much past the FC and pH part of the testing.

Our new plaster pool is puzzling the heck out of me..... Water tests as of Sunday: FC - 1.5 pH - 7.2 TA - Was at 40, so I added some baking soda to bring it up per the calculator. I haven't retested this yet. CYA - 80 We are using a rainbow feeder for now. I am running our pump from about...

We just finished up, and did the WetEdge Lune Quartz. Color was Pacific, but I think they call it Aruba now. We like it a lot. Great color and feel. In all honesty, we had some startup issues, mainly due to the ph being too high, and me not managing the water very well, so we ending up with...

We just finished up, and did not do an outdoor shower. We did do a garden spicket near the equipment, but in all honesty, its mainly for a foot wash. I think the PB tied it in with the auto-leveler line, so it didn't cost us a dime to add the spicket (I think the PB said it was a $2.00 valve...

Our little oasis is pretty much complete. Still need to do some landscaping, but we might wait until the Spring to do that. Not much use in trying to get something planted if we can't keep it alive... Updated pics :) Spray Decking Waterfall Items left: Waterfall - Not flowing real good...

We are pretty much wrapped up now, so I thought I would update this: 5/7 - Signed 5/20 - Dig and steel 5/21 - Rough Plumbing 5/27 - Gunite 6/2 - Plumbing 6/3 - Electrical 6/15-6/18 - Tile, Coping, Waterfall 6/21 - Deck Form 6/24 - Deck Pour 6/28 - Plaster/Acid Wash/Fill 6/29 - Equipment Start...

Thanks! As best as I can tell, spraydeck is very similiar to Kool Deck. It is some sort of a multi-layer expoxy resin type "stuff". Here is the site that the PB gave us (we also had samples and real pics to look at). We choose the Sandstone color. http://www.poolworkstx.com/pages/decking.html...

Pool's looking good! Spray Deck scheduled for Thursday. We are about to be wrapped up :)

We are only a couple of days in to our pool, but I can tell you, that our boy and his friends are in hog heaven. Our pool, which is posted on here (New Build League City), is an "L" shape due to a detached garage and easements. The front leg is only about 8.5' x 36' long (3.5' to 5' deep)...

Here ya go. We are very happy with the color and texture so far. Good Luck!

Found my test kit :D Of course, it was the last place I looked... Ph was at 7.5 this evening, Fc was at 2. Looking good, so we splashed :) I also tested my CYA - and it is very, very low. Didn't even register in the tube, so if I had to guess, I would say it was in the 15 range. When I...

Ahhhhh, its nice to be swimmable!!!!!
