Hi y'all, I've been doing well with our pool in the last 2 years. However, since yesterday the pool looked darker than usual. I thought it could be because it was dark and gloomy outside due to the clouds and rain, but this morning it's gotten worse. We're in Houston, TX. Does anyone know...

If there's any electrician or anyone with such knowledge here, I'd really like your advice. Our primary home electrical breaker box is on the opposite side of my pool equipment. So facing the front door entry, breaker box on left side and pool equipment on right side. My garage is also on the...

Hi all, It seems like I have a possible leak in my pool plumbing. There's an area that stays damp by the pool and spa returns area whereas other areas stay completely dry. I turned on my sprinklers zones that could splash water on it but no water makes it there. Also with the 96 degree temps...

Hi all, I've recently noticed white buildup on our pool glass tile. It's mostly on vertical areas or around the spa rolled edge area, generally where water isn't in contact with the tile. There is a little white haze as well around some of the waterline tile around the pool. Do you guys know...

Hi all, I've got a very thin hairline crack on my pool deck. It's a spray textured pool deck and it's only been about 8 months since the entire pool area was completed. See the pics attached. What's the best way to remedy this? Is it too thin to where I should just use the deck paint and paint...

Hello all, We're in the Houston area and with the weather warming up slightly, I'd like to test out my pool heater to ensure it works before my PB warranty expires in August. We've heated the spa but it usually only requires 45 mins max to heat it from like 55 degrees to 100. I'd like some...

Hello, I just stepped outside and noticed one of my jet inserts at the bottom of the spa floor. We had some 28-32 degree weather here in Sugar Land, TX for a couple of nights so I'm not sure if that caused any issues. Is this something I can just screw back into the jet? It seems like there...

Hi all, I called Marina to order the S200 but it's unavailable. I've been Googling "best robot pool cleaners" and the Dolphin Nautilus CC comes up on the lists quite often. Aside from the Nautilus being cheaper, what is the primary difference between it and the S200? I have the A&A infloor...

Hi all, Quick question as the title implies: Does a Robot Cleaner entirely eliminate the need to brush floor and walls? Background: I have a IG freeform gunite pool with an A&A infloor cleaning system (IFCS). I've managed keeping my water and pool crystal clear with this set up, however I...

Hi all, Can an umbrella be placed in a sun shelf umbrella sleeve and kept there for a long time? Do most people just leave it in there or remove it and place it there when they're using the pool? Thanks!

Hi all, Is there a recommendation on how to maintain or clean glass tile (weekly/monthly?) to where we don't have any minerals (calcium) build-up? I want our pool waterline tile, rolled edge spa tile and spa spillway tile looking clean and shiny. :cool: Feel free to suggest specific products...

Hi all, We just completed our new pool build in the Houston area. We have some natural stone around the pool. We wanted a more gray-ish color stone so we selected this stone. However, it seems a couple of the stones have some iron or something causing stains and then even some pitting and...

Hi all, I was wondering if the backside of a raised pool wall should have the tiles or not. Something like the picture attached where the travertine tile is on the backside. My PB most likely won't install the travertine tile on the back part of our raised wall since my neighbor also used the...

Hi all, We're building a pool and spa. For the spa, we will have a glass tiled negative edge spillway. We really like the spa spillway below, but cannot determine what angle the spillway is in the spa (spa located in the back). Can someone help to determine if that is a 45 or 60 degree angle...

Hello all, We just sign with our PB in Houston, TX and I wanted to post our pools specifics and design to see if you guys can help us avoid mistakes or think of things we missed. We have two little girls (almost 3 and 6) and are typically the hosting party for family events. No one is a diver...
