So we have brand new Primera Stone, has been filled since the 19th, and tonight I noticed several fairly serious looking gouges/divots/pits, not really sure what they are. Looks like maybe they're places where stones fell out of?? Is this normal/OK?? I feel like they're new, have been swimming...

So pool has been up and running for exactly one week. Friday morning test results were as follows: FC - 2 CC - < .5 pH - > 8.2 TA - 60 CH - 500 CYA - 40 Added 1/2 gallon MA and three 3" trichlor tablets to the Rainbow automatic feeder Friday afternoon. We were out of town Saturday and...

As I mentioned previously, pool was plastered over weekend and filled Sunday, so now on day four of start up. Plasterers added sequestrant first day (Monday) and one gallon MA and three trichlor pucks in both skimmer baskets Tuesday. Haven't added anything since then. Tested yesterday...

Alright, so the plaster (Wet Edge Primera Stone) has been in since Sunday and water filled that day. Didn't add anything on Sunday, nor did we get the pump running that day, as it was Sunday. I did not test the water Sunday either (though I realize perhaps I should have done it right away)...

So we have two 500w Intellibrite white lights in our pool, which literally just became operational. We don't have automation, so I had asked electrician about a timer for the lights, and he suggested a photocell, so I said great. Last night was the first time they came on, and those suckers...

Long story short, we are probably going to end up with a pool service, so probably will be using the tablets with our automatic chlorinator before long. But I'm doing the initial two week start up, and am about ready to start adding chlorine, and just wondering if I should just go ahead and...

Pool finished filling around 9-10 yesterday morning, Sunday. pool builder has still yet to come and turn on time clock and get it running. Really annoying. I understood not coming by on Sunday, but now say they won't make it by until later today, which is pretty annoying. But we've had lots of...

So I've been scouring this forum for six plus months as we've been getting ready to and finally building our pool, and the day is finally here - plasterers are on their way! Hallelujah! We are getting Wet Edge Primera Stone (Riviera Coast). So here's my dilemma - I have read all of the various...

As I have mentioned in some previous posts, we have had a terrible time with our pool builder - not so much in the quality of the work building the pool, but with everything else, mostly stemming from the fact that the owner is a crotchety old jerk, and by all accounts is just getting worse...

Have done copious amounts of research, both here and elsewhere, but still can't figure out what we should go with, what's best for our situation. We are almost finished with our new pool, and the PB put in the pipe for a pressure side cleaner, but I believe they just capped it off, did not run...

We are hoping to get our Primera Stone installed ASAP (not a minute too soon, as it is HOT here in NOLA already), and just had a couple quick questions re start up. I get the impression that most people do the start up themselves, but for some reason I find it a little intimidating. I do have...

We have had one issue after another with our pool builder, so we are having them do whatever is necessary to finish things up and get the final inspection so we can wash our hands of them. I have two quick questions - Right now there is no patio around the pool. We're not sure what we're...

Our shady pool builder is really trying to pull one over on us now, I think. We are contracted just for plaster/marcite, but we've decided to go with a Wet Edge product (Primera Stone). Thing is, there's only one Wet Edge installer in this area, and it's not something our PB offers. So we're...

Looking for anybody who has Wet Edge Primera Stone in the Sapphire Treasure color. We absolutely love the look of the sample, it's beautiful blue and silver, but we are a little concerned that the water is going to be too dark if we go with this color. There's zero chance there will be a pool...

What do folks think about that? Contract does not get into much specifics at all re coping. We have always discussed doing brick coping. We have a free form pool. Actual PB (old grizzled fellow who's been excavating for decades) says we should miter the brick, it'll look much better, rather...

So PB dropped off some of the equipment over the weekend, and noticed that the lights (which are Intellibrite, so I know good quality stuff, the 500W equivalent ones) have "Amazon Warehouse" inspection stickers on the boxes. From my quick checking into it, looks like Amazon Warehouse stuff is...

So some of you may have seen my other posts - ongoing saga of deciding what Wet Edge finish to go with. I like the pebble finishes (e.g. Satin Matrix, which our plasterer happened to be running a special on), but my wife detests them, so those are out. So we had pretty much settled on Luna...

Hi all. In the thick of our pool build here in New Orleans. Roughly 28 x 15, free form pool, "sport" type pool - 3.5 ft on either end, to a depth of 5.5 ft in middle, bench and tanning ledge, a couple of "bubblers." Doing traditional chlorine (that's what my wife is familiar with, as she's...

I know this is a long-shot, but wondering if anyone on here happens to be in the New Orleans area and has Wet Edge Satin Matrix (or knows of anyone who does)? We are in the midst of a new pool build and are very interested in Wet Edge, but there is only one installer here in this area, so it's...

We are in the thick of our pool build right now (gunite is in, still wrangling with finish - likely going with Wet Edge, most likely a Luna Quartz line - it's killing me, we could actually get Satin Matrix for I think the same price, but my wife just does not like the texture and look of it)...

Torn between potentially going with an automatic pool cover versus just a simple solar blanket. To put it in context, we are in New Orleans, in the city proper, so we have limited space that we are working with. The specifics of our property further limit the location and size of our pool...

Hi all, New to the forum, and excited for this great resource. We are just about to start building an inground pool here in New Orleans, and are trying to figure out the best type of heater to get. It's not going to be a very large pool, certainly not bigger than 20 x 15 (and probably a...
