Greetings all! Inherited a pool that came with the house - is there a way to reverse calculate the pools volume based upon affect of a predetermined amount of chemicals? For example, wait until night, turn SWG off, test, add 40 oz of 10% liquid bleach and test again in 30 minutes? I know and...

Don't get me wrong - I understand and like variations in pebbletec/sheen. I like the natural look. Other areas in the pool have normal slight variations. Some mottled areas. ZERO problems with that. This doesn't look like that. It looks like a dirty deep end with very defined...

one more - the middle of the deep end is like 2-3 shades darker than the rest of the pool Imgur

Yes - I bet. Glad I documented everything in pictures. If anybody has run into a similar situation please post on how you arrived to a resolution.

Also I will say when they did the pebblesheen - the deep end right where the drains are (problem area) was left with a few inches of water standing there all day and remained there until the acid wash. Not sure if that has something to do with it or what. Thankfully I have it all documented...

Yes mine is def not just a small area around the drain is the majority of the deep end - or should I say the majority of the deepest area in the deep end as the pool is quite large. The rest of the pool is beautiful which makes this look so much worse. They are going to get back to us and...

The guy that sold us the pebblesheen pointed that they are able to get it much more consistent than the other finishes. Each pool we have seen is way way more even than this. Yours is similar? Color is blue granite btw but still balancing chemicals.

We had pebblesheen installed last week and right off the bat we had issues with inconsistencies in the deep end with streaks and splotches. Here is what it looked like after filling Imgur They told us - yes that was not right and they would send a diver to touch up. I am afraid that the...

Golderdog - we would love to come see it - I will message you :) Let me know if you don't get it - I have never used the message feature through the boards/account before.

Yes classic is doing it - did they do yours?

We are in Flower Mound Golderdog! So happy to hear that you went to a similar change and love it. We like blue granite for all the reasons you list. We might take you up on it :)

by they way I didn't know there was tahoe blue pebblesheen? I don't see that in the catalog!

That is beautiful Ricky! By the way I am the wife posting on muffin_dad account - shhhh don't tell him. He seems more secure on the blue granite choice so I think that is where we will end up. I am the one that doubts the choice the most but I tend to have a hard time choosing anything...

Yes it looks fabulous - we like the fact that blue granite looks blue without looking like windex and yet it doesn't look swampy either like some of the more greenish pebbles can look.

Thanks so much - your pool looks great! Have you been happy with the sheen? I can't imagine building a pool - picking a color/finish is hard enough!

We are starting our remodel on our pool on Mon and still undecided on whether to go with Pebbletec tahoe blue or pebblesheen blue granite. We have a free form large deep pool that gets both direct sunshine and some shade in areas at different times of the day. Any input or pictures for those...

Anyone heard of this before? http://www.dirtdoctor.com/Hydrogen-Peroxide-H2O2-Controls-Mustard-Algae-in-Pools_vq5197.htm

Thanks all, here is a before the AA treatment photo Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Thanks to TFP and all the great folks here I'm having a fantastic father's day with my family in our gorgeous pool. Neighbors say they've never seen the pool this nice and one said they didn't buy this house because the pool was ruined (I did the AA treatment recently). It's been my...

No I didn't Aimee but I sure thought about it! It was crystal clear odorless and tasteless. It was perfect! Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Well I have some dichlor but I thought that was heresy. I'll probably use it to get the cya up to 60. Thanks! Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Re: SLAM with zero CYA? True, but I had the same situation - CYA 0 and wouldn't hold chlorine and had to do a SLAM. I'd rather pay a bit more and have it done right away than wait a week. Leslie's had liquid CYA for $47/gallon in the store, but they price matched a $27/gallon on their own...

Beautiful! Congrats from a fellow Flower Mound resident Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

This side conversation was split off of here. JasonLion. Buy liquid cya at the pool store. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Not that I can think of. All the independent ones go out of business. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Not my pool but it's too gorgeous not to share here with my fellow pool aficionados who will appreciate this. Infiniti pool overlooking the bay at The One and Only Palmilla in Los Cabos Mexico. :o

I'm at Leslie's buying some liquid CYA and about to do a SLAM so I ask the pool guy "Do you have any liquid chlorine?" Pool guy - "NO! That is illegal!" Me - Really? I can buy a truckload of it next door at WalMart, it's called bleach. Pool guy - "Oh no that is BLEACH not liquid chlorine...

Thanks all I'm at 60 now Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
