I love the raised look! Very modern and goes well with your paver & rock decking.

We have a CMP Brilliant Wonders 4" LED Bubbler Assembly that serves as the bubbler in our tanning ledge. It's just the housing unit, not the LED module, but the electrical conduit was run so I might as well add the LED module. Does anyone know if a pentair microbrite will fit the CMP housing? My...

This is good information - thank you. Our deck is actually covered and in the shade (won't be right next pool) so I'm hoping it won't be too much of an issue.

@CircaSurvivalist wondering how the AZEK is working out for you? We're also planning to go with AZEK Slate Grey and would love to hear your experience.

We had Blue Surf applied in June. It's a beautiful finish and I haven't noticed any imperfections at all. One of the benefits of going with pebbletec is that only authorized installers can do the work. I would think the experience of the installer would impact the imperfections more than the...

PB has long backorder of pool heaters so I'm looking to purchase myself. Best deal I can find right now seems to be Leslie's online - Raypak - 014941 Digital Cupro-Nickel Natural Gas 406,000 BTU Pool Heater for $2456. Any drawbacks to going with a larger heater for a smaller pool (noise, etc)...

Beautiful! We're in Austin and thinking of doing something similar. Willing to share who you used?

Thanks @jimmythegreek I've been doing some reading and some say that the raypak tends to be quieter than pentair..any truth to this? noise would definitely be a factor in our decision. (I'm assuming we can use any brand with intellicenter)

Ok, looks like I'm going have to invest in some type of heater for the pool sooner rather than later. We went without a spa because we were so tight on impervious cover and didn't want to give up the swimming space. However, our pool is in shade most of the day and doesn't get warm enough to my...

The planters are gorgeous, @JMSMommy ! A perfect complement to your project. Thanks so much for sharing - this is exactly the type we're looking for.

Such a beautiful build! Would love to know what planters you ended up ordering. I've been on the lookout for some but haven't found the right look/material.

Waiting for PB to seal the stone. They will be buffing and cleaning the coping prior to applying sealant (MiraGard Dry Look). Is this a common practice to handle this after the fill? I'm concerned about dust/chemicals going into water. What's the recommended best practice in this situation?

Excited for our new pool buddy! The kids have named him 'Sheldon' :giggle:

This is so helpful. Thanks, @Newdude !

Thanks @Newdude So this was my first time running the CYA test. I could continually see the black dot as I filled up the tube ;). So I'm guessing that means our CYA is less than 30. Using Pool Math, I see the following: If I've set it up correctly, does that look like I'm in the ballpark -- I...

I do need some help with starting up the SWG, however. Here's a bit of history: --PB's service company has been handling the pool for the first 30 days. His last visit was yesterday, but we are not sure when 'Pool School' will be happening. --This past Sunday, he started up the SWG, had 'Low...

Haven't posted in a bit because we've been too busy enjoying pool life :cool: My 10 year old has been in at least 3 times a day! We added several Eagleston Hollies which make a great backdrop (thanks to TFP for the recomm!) and will work on landscaping next.

Seeing the water features turned on for the first time :party:

A few close-ups of the shelf...I'm no expert, but I'm happy with how well it matches the PS Blue Surf sample:

Here are some pics immediately after fill (no chemicals added yet):

So, our 'Quarantine Christmas Pool Build' has stretched to the 4th of July :oops: However, after MANY delays due to our crazy Texas weather, we FINALLY got plastered on Wed. Thanks to all of the great posts/pics on here, we also went with PebbleSheen Blue Surf:
