yes, I read the plaster dust can clog the heater... at first their was a good amount of plaster dust.. now there is hardly any. I’m not sure I really wanna risk messing something up. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ll for sure post some pictures! :) That was my thought on just taking the edge off but my paper talks about the plaster dust being an issue. Which I’m not seeing much plaster dust any more. Very little to none. I may try it out. :)

Good news, the leak has been repaired!!! The leak detection company came out yesterday and found that there were two holes in the plaster behind the main drain system in the wall. It’s been over 24 hours since the repair and the water is staying where it should be! 🙌🏻 as for the plaster...

it doesn’t matter if the pool pump is on or off, still leaks. Night one I filled the pool mid tile line and I ran my pump over night.. when I woke up the water level was under the skimmer.. lost 3-4inchea. Second night I made sure the pool was to tile mid line shut off the pump completely and...

Yes they pressurized all the pipes.. and our inspector did actually check the pressure to make sure it was where it needed to be. the plumbing and equipment install was done after gunite for us. I’m checking with my husband on the rest. 🤷🏼‍♀️

And yes builder inspectors.

The plumbers came back out after first failed inspection. The second inspection was completed and passed the day after the plumbers came back out to adjust some things.

And I have no idea if we did.. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don’t know a whole lot about anything. Had someone come out to do pool school with us but electrician didn’t wire something correctly.. so we have to have him come back out before we can set up everything to automation in the app. My husband has been out of...

yes, the first time it failed inspection and they had to come out and make adjustment and then it passed the second time.

Where do I update that?

thank you so much, I’m currently getting water back up in the pool and will turn the pump on. since we didn’t go through a builder we really have no guidance.. I’ve been told so many different things. It’s been a super stressful few days.

should I continue to run my pump?

Hello, Our plaster was done Tuesday, acid wash and fill started Wednesday. Pool filling complete by Friday and startup and fittings were placed. I noticed a leak pretty fast, and now that I think about it I had to add more water even before the start up crew came but didn’t think anything of it...

I need to decide on my finish like yesterday... opinions needed.. show me your finishes! :)

We were debating between NPT silverstone aquamarine tile and ocean.. we chose aquamarine because I felt like the ocean looked almost black from a distance and I wanted more of a blended look with tile and water. We are also going with matrix signature in Tahoe. it’s so hard making all these...

thank you so much! I’m beyond stressed... it looks like they used a light mortar to lay your stone which is smart.. I said I wanted a tan grout from the beginning but the stone was placed with grey.. and now it seems I have no other option than to go with grey grout. 😩 attaching photos...

just talked to the stone guy and basically these are my only options unless we special order and of course that causes delays in everything. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I like your grout.. I just text my husband a picture of it. I’ll show the stone guy and see if he can do something similar. All this stress on grout color and trying to decide on the color and brand for the insides of the pool. 🤣 I can’t wait for it to be done.

how exciting! I would love to see pictures. :) Thank you!

This is a sample he did for us... I think the light color is too light and I want a little darker.. more light tan cream. Making decisions are so much harder than I thought it would be.

We are currently doing our coping first.. def made more since. Did you do your tile before or after your coping? We did our tile line first and while doing the coping there is def thicker areas of mortar which show in the pool.. I know they have to do it because stone is different level of...

Hi everyone!! It’s almost time for me to choose my pool finish color and material. I’m leaning towards Stonescapes Tahoe Blue... show me your Tahoe blue pools! :)

Yes! We did the tile already! :)

So we are doing owner builder pool and subbing out each phase. We are trying to decide if we should do the flagstone coping before or after the concrete deck? My husband owns a concrete company but they don’t typically do pool decks.. they seem to think we should do the concrete first and then...

Thank you so much for your response.. :) attaching photos of Tahoe blue. I did just find someone’s post using the lighter tile and multi tone colored glass tile and I loved it. I’ll post that too. :) files are too large for the completed photo but it looks beautiful.

Help!! I have to choose my waterline by the end of the day. I’ve narrowed it down to NPT Sileverstone Ocean or Silverstone Aquamarine. I’ve searched the internet for pictures of completed pools using these tiles and I’m not finding much.. I like the darker from the few that I found. In person...
