Hey everyone. I'm not sure we or PB thought it out much in the planning stages but we are putting in a feature wall with three 24" sheer decents. I guess we didn't realize that due to the curve the waterfalls would not be in line and one is sticking out a bit. Will it look good in the end, or...

Hey everyone, Quick question, we are remodeling and want to go with a pebble finish. We were quoted Signature matrix and were going to go with Brilliant Blue. Then I started to read on here and lots of folks were able to have there plaster guys add in a few bags of glass beads and Abalone...

Hi everyone. Is there a white grout/cement for coping? Freeform pool. Someone told me their travertine coping didn't even need any grout? We paid extra for Platinum ice travertine and thought it would look more seamless. They never asked what color grout we wanted and guy spent entire day...

Hi everyone, we are getting quotes to remodel our pool. We are in DFW and got hit by the freeze. Insurance denied everything so we are coming out of our pocket, but at least our pool was somewhat in need for an update anyway. We have a lot of older exposed aggregate decking. Foolishly last...

Hey guys, I have a gunite pool that was inherited when we bought the house. Been in the house for about 2 years, now I'm having to fill the water about ever 2 days. Maybe 1/2 " drop in the water line every 2-3 days. I've done the bucket test and It's not evaporation. Seems like it leaks more...

Hi guys, I'm again trying to upgrade to automation this year. I asked the same question last year and I was advised to return my EasyTouch (that I already bought and cost me $100 to return) since the IntelliCenter was coming out "ANY DAY NOW" and I would be installing out dated hardware that...

Hi guys, my Zodiac just died. The black tracks kept slipping over and over and then finally the clamp that holds the tube together just broke apart. I was meaning to eventually upgrade to a dolphin. Is that the best robot out there? Which models do you guys suggest for a 25,000 gal inground? I...

Hi Guys, I think I have black algae?? I didn't maintain my FC level over the winter time. I have a leaf cover and when I opened the pool this past weekend, I have black streaks / dots all over the sides of the pool. I believe its a plaster pool. I've been reading and it seems very very...

Hi guys, Bought new house in January. Used old owners pool guy, charged me $175 a month and didn't do much. Finally he lied to me and charged me $100 to clean my filters and never did. I let him go and I found this site! Other members have been helpful in getting a new heater and pump. Now I...

Hi Guys, I did a quick search and found some good info, but I wanted to ask the experts directly about my new saltwater conversion and which filter would be best. I inherited a pool when we bought our new house and never owned a pool before. I just replaced the heater and got a new Pentair...

Hi Guys. Just moved into a new house and I never owned a pool before. I was stupid not to get a pool inspection. Tried to turn on the heater and it turned on for about 30 minutes, but I could smell burning, then it stopped and now will say CFH and then stay in perpetual SPK mode but will not...

Hi guys, Pool newbie here. I live in Texas and just bought a home with a pool and spa attached (water from spa overflows into the pool below). I never owned a pool before and know next to nothing. I tried to turn on my heater the other day and the thing smoked and died (i'm idiot for not...
