South Florida Pool & Outdoor Living - STARTUP PHASE I started tinkering around with the desktop version of screenlogic and was able to figure out the lights, somewhat. I basically had to set them through the light screen as "set" or "swim" and then I can go to those default settings from...

The Amdro worked great. We covered the dirt in the yard where most of the ant hills were and we haven't seen ants by the pool since. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! It was worth the elbow grease. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm guessing you've got to get to it relatively quickly. It was about 2 days later. I have some older stains that wouldn't come up at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

South Florida Pool & Outdoor Living - STARTUP PHASE I'm guessing I messed something up or our electrician wired them a certain way that didn't allow me to set light colors individually. But its odd that I can turn them on/off individually. Does anyone know what the set, recall, and swim...

The 1:1 bleach/water mixture worked really well. I used it very sparingly (my mixture was 4oz total) only on the stains and hosed it off immediately after scrubbing with a handheld brush. I wasn't a fan of using the bleach but it was the only thing that came even close to working. Since our...

Great! Can we twist your arm for one final shot once the water balances? And yes, your pool is huge. Ours felt big too at a much smaller size (34x17 rectangular). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did a test at different dilutions and 3:1 is definitely too strong for the stone. 1:1 or less seems to be effective without staining the stone. I'm giving it a few hours for my test spots to fully dry before attacking any of the stains. The DuPont stonetech didn't do the job in lifting the...

Oh you can't do that to us! We need to see the finished product! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea. The ivory travertine is so light tho so it is really noticeable. When it is wet it is not as noticeable since the rest of the stone is darkened. We were really hoping to get away with not sealing it as we like the lighter dry look, but we can't reasonably be spraying down the deck every...

For some reason when I do this, any button on the light options screen turns the pool back on and to that color as well. I'll have to play around in the panel tomorrow to double check settings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Jim. Everything on that screen seems to control both. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Question on screenlogic. I have our pool light and spa light set as diff aux relays. I can turn them on and off individually through screenlogic but for color both are synced. I can change them individually at the panel, but is there any way I can set it up to select different colors in...

Yea if I can get this clean, sealing is looking more and more attractive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, spring is here. And wet pollen from the recent rain storm has stained our travertine deck. Any suggestions on how to clean? I'm thinking of using DuPont stone and tile cleaner and was interested in other alternatives. We have unsealed ivory travertine pavers. Sent from my iPhone...

I have been experiencing this as well in FL. Do you have the heater on? The overnight lows and recent windy weather has made it even more noticeable. I see about 3" over a week. I was worried about a leak since it's a new pool. Have you tried the bucket test? I have performed the test and while...

I love the color! Thanks for sharing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks so much. I can't wait to share finished pics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, the TFP crew challenged me to think outside of my little box. I also picked up a bag of brown and sure enough we like that best. It's dark enough for the defined contrast we are looking for but doesn't fight the pool as the main accent. The red was too overpowering and the black looks very...

For the cheaper resin chairs, check out ace hardware also. They are very similar to the lowes and Home Depot hairs but they offer more tropical/pool friendly colors. Ace Hardware Stores | Browse for Hardware, Home Improvement, and Tools. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have decided to use more 1-2" Mexican pebble and less mulch. Mother Gaia has been haunting me...;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No doubt. I think I am going to pick up 3 different bags (including brown) on my way home and lay em out and make a decision. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Could they not cut the light stream tiles apart and have tighter grout lines? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you have a pic? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dang, Matt. Tell me how you really feel. I suppose I can still tell my landscaper to put the 7 pallets of sod back onto the truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks all. I am pretty sure we are deciding between red and black tho. Either will be dyed, but the mulch will be 12+ feet from the pool and also separate by plant material, aluminum edging and stone beds. So while there is a thread in an extreme case, it's highly unlikely to affect the pool...

Sure can. It's not a bad idea. Our berm used to be the focal point. Certainly the pool and deck is now. But we do want some contrast between grass and berm to show defined flowing curves. We thought red would give us this but may fight the pool. The black will be less of a contrast but will...

It's the home stretch of landscaping. Red or black mulch for the rear landscape berm? We are going with grey Mexican pebbles in the bottle palm beds on each side of the spa and in the podocarpus privacy hedge line on the right side. Sorry for the terrible pic but my windows need to be...

You're probably right. It was something I overlooked here in my build but it's a different story here in Florida. And I know the feeling on all of the plumbing being foreign. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Beautiful pvc! Have you figured out where your overflow line is (if you have one)? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
