I've been posting my pool build updates for a while now. It's been slow going for various reasons, but we're finally getting to the end. We've run into something though that I am not really sure how to address and am curious what the thoughts of the collective are. So here we go.... A couple...

Does anyone know of a US source for Thalasso Spa style fixtures? Stuff like this: I found some on Amazon for about $400 dollars, but I am pretty suspect about the quality and saltwater compatibility. These seem to be popular in Europe and Australia with plenty of distributors, but not so...

Searching the forums for specific equipment and other info oftentimes ends up with a lot of "noise" in the search results. A perfect example is looking for Heliocol solar panel info (but this issue is by no means limited to just that). When you search on Helicol, you will get what seems to be a...

So we're trying to pick tile for the waterline and the perimeter overflow spa (these maybe be the same or different depending on what we decide to do on the spa). Our builder will do glass without question, but is really trying to make sure we understand the potential issues with it versus...

How deep are your benches? What seems most comfortable (and maybe share how tall you are)? I was considering 21"/22" for most of my bench area and maybe having one a bit shallower for some variation. 22" comes up about 2-3" shy of my collar bone on me. I am wondering if that is too deep to...

Admins, please move to Pool Cleaners sub-forum if this is the wrong place. My question is more design related though so I thought this was the best spot. So we're hopefully only 2 - 3 weeks out from signing with a builder and we're down to the nitty-gritty. We're not going with in-floor...

Howdy all. It's been a few months since I first posted with questions and my design/concept. We had to take a short break just as we were getting into the bidding process due to an injury in the family, but all is well once again and we're back in the game and ready to go. The original design...

Title says it all. Who has them? Were they worth the cost? Are they loud (splash noise)? Any neat places to have them flow from? Any other neat installation ideas? Thanks plat.

My question is specific to the Houston area only. I pre-cleared this thread with JasonLion. It is OK to reply with the name of sub-contractors you can/would recommend. Positive responses only please. If you have one you would not use or recommend, please PM me instead of posting their info...

OK, so I am in the final stretch of my pre-planning phase. I am now mostly down to making some equipment choices so I can keep the bids more uniform and comparable. I am really intrigued by Hayward's OmniLogic 4 and so would like to use that as the core component that will then drive the other...

Seeing as people had some very nice compliments on the picture of our patio I had posted my pre-planning thread in the Construction forum for phase II of our backyard oasis (finally a pool!!), I figured I would go ahead and post the whole patio build here. Link to pool pre-planning thread in...

For everyone that has gone through the design/build process, share your wisdom. I am in the pre-design stage (first post in the Construction forum). What would you have done different? What upgrade do you regret not adding? What addition was a waste of time/effort/money? Where should that...

Howdy, New member here in the Houston area that's been lurking around for a couple of years checking in every so often when I've had the itch to pull the trigger on a pool. My wife and I just finished a major patio renovation in 2013. We wanted to get it paid off before starting on the pool and...
