These are examples of pool colors I have liked, which are fully tiled.

New build going on right now at my house. I’ll be ready for finish in two weeks. I am considering seriously tiling 100% of pool instead of more common alternative finishes. Pebble/River Rock ruled out after I tried a friends pool with this finish and it seemed to harsh and rough for my taste...

Based on further research, I think I’ll be using Lueders Limestone for coping. Will be sealing it since I will be using a salt chlorinated pool. Now I just need to find out where to buy it, as it is not very common here in South Florida.

How was the coping done? Looking for that same thing

Look pretty cool and modern to me! Wondering if the concrete would fare well against chemicals, hot florida sun and heat when walking on it, etc. Not a fan of adding kooldeck. If not fully convinced will just do the good old travertine coping.

Hello, it's been a while since my last post. I was responsible for this build a few years ago: Construction Time! Miami, FL New Pool with Pictures and Prices Included. I'm back at it. I just purchased a new home and it's time for a new build...This photo is the rendering of the new pool. We...

Anyone?

Just last week I installed a Hayward Heatpro 110k Btu heat pro pump. The first day I set heater to heat water to 86 degrees (from 79 degrees current water temp). 12 hours later I checked and it had heated pool to 89 degrees, that's 3 degrees more than I requested. I turned heat pump off...

So I did a little more digging. It's appears are thought this filter is not very good dealing with sand (granules, not dust). I have certain areas of my patio where there is some sand around landscaping, and when wind blows heavy some little sand rock granules land in pool and cause the cleaner...

Need help. I've had Poolvergnuegen second gen pool cleaner for about a year now. All great until a few months ago. I have it set to clean 4 hours daily. Almost every single day the mechanism inside the cleaner gets stuck and stops working. I keep having to open the cleaner up, and make sure the...

Bump :)

Just installed ThePoolCleaner (2 wheel) on my new pool, running with 3 returns, main drain, one skimmer and one wall suction side fitting. In order to get the cleaner's recommended 11-13 rpm on the wheels, I needed to: 1- run ecostar pump at 2700 rpm and 2- close the skimmer and main drains...

Jason - I am sure you are aware from all my previous postings that I am a serial DIY'er...so the professional (or lack thereof) was ME <------

WardL - In that case I truly only need to dig and install a control valve at one of the deck jets (the one plumbed with the jet that has the least flow). I can then control the flow of that jet to match the lower pressure one. The other two jets are plumbed together and there is a valve that is...

Well mine was plumbed in pairs. So I cannot adjust only the one I need adjusting. Essentially I can see myself installing a mini valve right at the deck jets to essentially reduce the flow of the others and bring them down to the one with the fewest pressure. However, that's seems like it would...

Just installed four deck jets. They are plumbed in pairs. So, there are two lines of coming from the pump, and each splits into two lines with a "T" before making their way to the deck jets. The problem is that one of the deck jets has about 20% less pressure/force than the other 3. I already...

Jay- I know :) These guys have already bailed out of other worst ones! I practically built my own pool thanks to this forum. So after leaving the salt cell properly turned on for around 8 hours, I checked the prologic just now and it is displaying 3000 ppm of salt. I didn't add any more salt...

Bingo. Found a pouch inside of the Prologic box with three identical sensors. Brown cable with black sensor head. I will read up on how to install those and get them set-up. No wonder my system is going haywire.

Water and air temps two different sensors? Did they come with the unit? I only recall seeing one water temp sensor, but the plumber told me it is to be used only if heater installed.

I do have a T3 cell (wished I would've gone bigger here, time will tell. Jason: only things I have connected to ps4 so far is the flow sensor for swg and salt cell. So far I haven't even connected the data cable for pump yet. So no, I do not recall doing any install for air or additional water...

Greetings! I'd like to use one more lifeline, please! Last week I started up my Prologic PS4 Salt System for the first time since building the pool. I added the required salt into the water, left my pump running 16 hours per day at 1400 RPM, and set Chlorine to 65%. Just today I went to the...

Yeti...all done. Still need to do some cleaning to sides because I still have debris there...but other than that all good. The weather hasn't allows for use but as soon as the sun starts heating up again I am going in!

So is the cleaner supposed to be cleaning all the time the pump is on? 16 hours a day as I have it now?

So you guys think I should pump filter speed up for a couple of weeks and see if it goes up? Backwashing after 25 percent into? Woao then what's the point of the 10 pressure increase deal? And yes, pool water is so clean it looks like zephyrhills water.

The only controls that can regulate Ecostar's speed setting are Hayward's own automation systems such as the Prologics. It is my understanding that all other timers, including Intermaric, just tell pump to turn on or off at whatever speed it was running last. Given Ecostar's great control...
