Brian i will testify to this. In the last year I've bought two 4lb containers of CYA. One 5 lb container of CH, One 4 lb container of pH up and one 40 lb bag of salt. My chemical cost is almost non-existent. Water stability is AMAZING. So much so that I'm "forcing" myself to check once a week...

LOL. I'll take your word for it. You do great work. Keep it up.

I think my original comment was directed towards an "additional" 10-12K That seems pretty silly to me. Your stencils are amazing and obviously would add to the cost. I watched the process in my pool. It is NOT labor intensive and a person with a reasonable brain could probably be completely...

That will probably depend on location and builder. Of course pool size as well. My entire pool build was less than 40K. I can't seem to find my line item contract but I doubt ecoFinish was 1/4 the price of my build. Considering raw materials and labor, it probably should be less than a pebble...

Rain naturally is acidic. Even the non-acidic rain. So any heavy rainfall should lower the pH of a pool. Its not been that wet of a winter for me personally.

Hello everyone so, the water temp is up to swimming temperature. So I wanted to give an update on the Aquabright pool. We are right at 1 year + 1 month since water fill. General observations. Finish looks great. Absolutely no discoloring, cracking etc. Full disclaimer. Over the winter I pretty...

I believe it is an Inter-Fab table. It was an accessory purchase that the builder offered us. There is an anchor in the deck. Table can be added / removed as desired.

If you are interesting in my longterm review of the aquabright finish. I've started a new thread in the review forum. I've posted my thoughts to this point and will be posting quarterly updates Click the link. aquaBright longterm review thread.

I"LL BE EDITING THIS POST WITH RUNNING Maintenance/upkeep. I have found maintenance on this pool to be very easy. I think the combination of a Salt Water Generator with the inert pool finish is what makes is so easy. When it was brand new I was testing every few days and I've gradually expanded...

Why did I choose aquaBright? I was primarily interested in the long term benefits of this final finish vs a traditional plaster coating. The big problem with the traditional plaster is that it is chemically active with your pool water. If you don't keep your chemistry correct you can damage the...

So I’ve had several people sending private messages about how I like the ecoFINISH aquaBRIGHT coating on our pool. Since there seems to be so little information out there on people’s opinions or experiences with the product, I thought that I would start a long term review thread. I’ll try to...

Thought I would post up a pic of the pool again. Now 5 months old. Much of the landscaping around the pool has really come up nicely. I'm also going to start a thread in the Review forum for the aqua bright finish

Disagree with this. Purple is good. If you go all the way to the dark blue you overshot the endpoint of the titration.

Ok folks, 1 week after adding CYA and others to bring things in balance. Here are my just finished testing numbers. FC = 15.5 CC = 0.5 pH = 7.8 CYA = 70 TA = 100 CH = 220 I've really cranked down my SWG. Its rated for 40,000 gallons on my roughly 10,000 gallon pool. I'm gonna add just a bit...

Thanks. We love the waterfall (builder calls it a water wall) as well. There are five water feeds through its length. Still adjusting the valves a little here and there to get the flow we like.

The plaster is effectively sealed behind the Ecofinish. Its' curing process will not alter the pool chemistry at all. That is one of the benefits of this new type of finish. Anyway, that is why I'm aerating. My target pH is 7.6 I'm planning on making a run to the pool store for calcium today.

Re: New Pool Build in Highland Village TX (Suburb of Dallas, TX) Pool is full, sod has been placed. Working on the Chemistry now. Here is a short video of the completed pool. pMtZXjrTvG4 Now on to chemistry. Should I start a new thread in the chemistry section or am I good staying here? We...

We had the same experience with a few pool builders who just won't build anything for less than X dollars. There is a builder literally 1/2 mile from our house that said they won't build anything at our price range. Sounds like bad business practice to me. But oh well. We ended up with a great...

Re: New Pool Build in Highland Village TX (Suburb of Dallas, TX) That was totally a wife choice. I could have live with or without but she really wanted it. I agree it looks really nice

Re: New Pool Build in Highland Village TX (Suburb of Dallas, TX) Feels good. 4 weeks and 5 days from dig date to water. Still have to do a few things, like re-sod the yard and have our "pool school" appointment to learn how to operate the equipment and the automation. He actually stayed in...

Re: New Pool Build in Highland Village TX (Suburb of Dallas, TX) And....drum roll [/URL][/IMG] Water is going in!

Re: New Pool Build in Highland Village TX (Suburb of Dallas, TX) A little longer video of the 2nd coat of Ecofinish going on lvig1tplwWg

Re: New Pool Build in Highland Village TX (Suburb of Dallas, TX) You can touch it pretty much immediately. Just takes a couple minutes for it to be cool to the touch. Once they are done tomorrow we add water pretty much right away. Its relatively rough right now. Kinda like sandpaper. He...

Re: New Pool Build in Highland Village TX (Suburb of Dallas, TX) Well we had a little delay with some of the recent rain but we are back on track with final finishes. So they plastered a week ago and then we had the rain. On Wednesday and Thursday they prepped for Aquabright application. Today...

Re: New Pool Build in Highland Village TX (Suburb of Dallas, TX) Yea! Big shiny star for me! I had to run home from work for a sec and as I was leaving the plaster crew was driving up. Woohoo! - - - Updated - - - Question. So is there an average that the TA will drop per 0.1 drop in pH. So...

Re: New Pool Build in Highland Village TX (Suburb of Dallas, TX) Ok Kim, So in looking at TFP guidelines and ecofinish guidelines I'm going to start with my targets of (my current levels in parenthesis) FC = 3-4 (0.5) pH = 7.6 (8.0) TA = 60-80 (140) CH = 200-400 (90) CYA = 60-80 (?)...

Re: New Pool Build in Highland Village TX (Suburb of Dallas, TX) Oops...apparently I forgot how to do math. CH should be 90 - - - Updated - - - Our nature 2 system is the salt water generator variety so no tricolor. I am aware of the potential problem with the mineral cartridge. I will...

Re: New Pool Build in Highland Village TX (Suburb of Dallas, TX) Got my test kit in this weekend. Just ran through the series of test with our water to start familiarizing myself with the kit. Following are my numbers. CH is very high. Ran it twice to make sure. FC = 0.5 CC = 2.0 pH = 8.0 TA =...

Re: New Pool Build in Highland Village TX (Suburb of Dallas, TX) Hey Kim, Yes, the builder has it in their model pool. I liked it a lot. Not rough, but not super smooth like fiberglass. It is one of the main reasons we went with our builder. ecofinish gives exclusive rights to select builders...

Re: New Pool Build in Highland Village TX (Suburb of Dallas, TX) Hmm thats weird. My sig. is in the previous post. Thanks pooldv, I guess i could have done a little more thorough searching of their site myself ;). So it says in the start up phase to balance with Trichlor and then maintain...
