I ran out of all my chlorine testing chemicals, and so I ordered more. When I got the new one, I thought it was the quick test one, but it was actually the more advanced test one (which I hadn't run out of) and when I tested, I thought my chlorine was 0. Turns out it is 1.5ppm for salt pool...

My bluestone coverlids were finally installed. My PB suggested sealing the thermal bluestone coping and coverlids with a penetrating sealer because I have a saltwater pool. I asked the local supplier store of bluestone coping and they recommended Stainproof 40SK (Dry Treat brand). The PB said...

My PB said 2 pool lights and 1 spa light would be enough for my 12x31 pool with integrated 5x7 spa. Unfortunately, the placement of one of the pool lights was poor - it is almost at the end of the deep end near my deep end bench, so the middle of the pool, where my stairs are located, is very...

So my pool has been filled for 2 1/2 weeks (after a 5 month build - will post about it soon) and we have yet to swim. They neutralized the acid Tuesday, and came back Wednesday afternoon and manually added more Sodium Bicarbonate and chemicals and turned on the pump, and said once it clears we...

My Blue Granite Pebblesheen was applied on Tuesday, "lightly" acid washed on Wednesday, and then the pool filled very slowly over a 36 hour period from Wednesday afternoon to Thursday night (I think my pool is around 16,000 gallons, but probably less b/c of the integrated spa). The PB's startup...

For those of you who had glass mosaic waterline tile installed, did your tilers come back on a separate day after grouting and clean the surface of the glass tile of grout haze, etc.? If so, how long after, what product did they use, and did it impact the grout itself? Mine was grouted with...

Trying to find a grout that works with my tile and it is difficult. I want to see the tile, not the grout. These are 3 grouts (same in all the photos. Laticrete Slate Blue in top left, Laticrete Sterling Silver in bottom left, and Custom Delorean Gray in bottom right. The sample was made this...

We are building a 12x31 pool with a 5x7 spa going length wise on one side, so that there would be 6' of water on one side, 1' spa wall, and 5' of spa water on the other side (steps will be after the spa on long side of pool). The seating will be along 2 outside walls and the wall closest to the...

I am having trouble selecting a Pebble Sheen finish. I originally wanted dark, but my PB convinced me to go lighter. I seem to like the Hydrazzo French Grey when I see pools online and I'm wondering what the equivalent might be in a Pebble product. I have been vacillating between Prism Blue...

We are in the steel rebar phase of building on our 12'x31' pool. The spa and stairs will be on the same side of the pool, allowing for a lap lane, with the spa first (5x7, with 7 going the long way) and the depth of the pool goes for 4-8'. My builder specified a deep end bench, and just told me...
