Tile and coping is 99% done. Clean-up crew is supposed to be here tomorrow, then I’ll take some more pictures. We also had a large equipment delivery 1 pallet full of equipment and one very large chiller! I think I might need a larger equipment pad or separate pad further down the side of the...

@spd500 I hope the water features function as you planned or at least they can be changed easily to add another valve and actuator in the Jandy system. I spoke with my PB. And we’ve agreed to go with another IntelliFlo VS for the water features and 2 IntelliValves each controlling a 2-way valve...

Your tile and coping crew did a great job. I wish I could say the same for our build here in the Woodlands. I’d be interested to know who your builder is if you could PM me. The decking looks great! I’ve been on the fence between travertine and cool deck. We decided on cool deck for a couple of...

Thanks for reviewing everything @MyAZPool! 1. We asked about removing the AutoChlor 320 tablet feeder, but it really didn’t cost much so for the little savings we decided to keep it for start-up and in case something ever happened with the salt cell or for when the water is too cold for the...

Thanks for all of the feedback. I agree that using 2 valves to be able to control each water feature individually would be better than settling for one 3-way valve and then having limited ability to control the pool as we want. In the grand scheme, what's another couple hundred dollars...

I just thought about something else... With the 6 total water features, each needing about 15GPM or so for a total of 90 GPM, a single speed pump is going to need to be sized correctly to make sure we don't get too little or too much flow. I'm not sure how to calculate the head loss for all of...

Thanks @Jimrahbe and @spd500, I have a meeting with the PB and plumber to discuss the water feature plumbing but given prior discussions and having to push for the correct size plumbing lines due to flow rates, I don't have the most confidence in them and appreciate the support here. I've...

Yes, we had to change our split-face travertine from 2"x4" to the "3-size", but they gave us the more expensive one for the same price. Plus we like the 3-size better. One of the few upsides during this process! Good luck with your selections!

With the automation, you can have only 2 positions available so if full one way and the full the other way, we’d only run one set of water features at a time and not both, water bowls or wall scuppers. That is why I wish we could have 3 stops with one Intellivalve in the automation control. I...

That’s a good question. I didn’t take really feel across it too much. There are definitely spots where the tile bulge out slightly or sink in. They are not perfectly smooth and symmetrical but I should probably pay more attention to the function rather than the form. I’ll check it out and...

We have quite an elaborate set up planned to be able to power our spa, automate our water features and control our temperature. Attached is the equipment list and plumbing/electrical we’re planning for our pool. please let me know your thoughts... My main question is should we switch the water...

We went with JetArrays as on PB had it on display (not plumbed) and said we could operate 6 in a spa. https://sultanproducts.com/pool-spa-products/jetarray-inline-therapy-jets/ We are in the middle of our build and I just started a thread so can’t give you feedback yet, but the PB we ended up...

Oh man, we’re a few weeks out from pebble on our pool. I was hoping we’d be able to swim or use the hot tub within a couple of days as we could heat up the pool. Unless it’s going to be really warm, looks like maybe for Christmas we’ll be able to use the hot tub... argh! Not was I was told...

Hi Sollace, I never got around to starting my build thread at the beginning so hadn’t posted much previous information. Hopefully soon I can find some time and am about to post my equipment, plumbing, and wiring plans to get feedback. This is where I applied most of the knowledge I’ve learned so...

Yes, I’ve checked the spillway multiple times and all of the other walls, columns, etc... I’m sure they are getting frustrated with me pointing out and checking their work but I’ve had to have them fix multiple imperfections. We’re having a little rain so they are coming back out tomorrow to...

They couldn’t quite finish the job today. Will be out again tomorrow to finish the spa and a little more coping

I’m watching over them and we have pretty open communication. Of course the PB is MIA. This is the 4th day they’ve been here. They brought there own drinks but I got them lunch 2 of the days, Pizza one day and Raising Caines chicken another day. Probably going to order some more pizza again...

Thanks Kim. The are fixing the corners. After they put grout in the rest of the coping it doesn’t stand out so I can live with the cuts. They are doing the rolled beam now, I think when it’s all done it will look even better. Now I just need to make sure they get the spa tile level as I think...

I’m doing this from my iPhone so having some issues with large file sizes.

Am I being too particular? Would you accept this work? Overall we would never really be walking around the spa looking at these cuts. The angles we’d be looking at the spa would hide this issues. We wouldn’t see them from the pool, existing patio, or the pergola we are adding to the left of...

Of course, the joint at the spillway doesn’t match either, I think they should make 2 triangles, then start the trapezoid shaped coping. Instead one continues for about an inch and the other side continues for about 3 inches...
