    Where do we start to get this water balanced? 🤪

    Hi there, We are using the pool maintenance guy our pool builder recommended.

He had to treat the pool due to algae...

    NPT Stonescapes - mysterious “sand”????

    Hi there, We had our pool plastered with Stonescapes Mini Pebble about 4 months ago. We are getting quite a bit of something that looks and feels like sand and I have no idea where it is coming from. Our pool thought it could be calcium? We do not have a sand filer. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Heat Pump + 2nd heat source for spa?

    Hi there, We are building a pool with an attached spa and right now the builder has priced out a Hayward 140,000 BTU heat pump. We are thinking we need a secondary heat source for the spa in the cooler months and to give the heat pump a boost in the winter if we need to get the pool water...

    Jets, pumps, rebar, oh my! New build in Southwest FL! 🤗 Any advice before we sign?

    Hey there! Finally taking the “plunge” and putting in a pool. Before we sign the contract we were hoping to get some thoughts from a few who have done it before. Anything you would change here? Do the mechanicals look ok? Anything you wish you would have done differently? The existing screen...
