Unfortunately I didn't check the column height relative to the waterline tile before the fabricator installed the top. I falsely assumed (and even asked) that the builder had poured the column high enough for a standard thickness granite top to sit out of the water. Turns out - when the water is...

I'm in WV for location context. My pool build started July 3rd and I'm currently sitting with a gunite shell and no plaster.

First, so happy to have found this site! I've read through pool school and numerous threads and the info has been very helpful. I've spent more money than I want to think about trying to get my pool from cloudy to clear- relying on the pool store to test my water and sell me a solution. I have...
