Will get the water tested for metals while I grab the brush. Will get pics in the morning. Will call PB bright and early :whip: Plastering occured yesterday.

I will hit the pool store tomorrow for the brush. I ran two hoses, ~14 hours. Thanks again for all of the input. As the color has turned from green to more clear, I can see some "imperfections". For example, vertical streaking on 1 corner, a dark impression on the wall, and an orange...

Got ya. The brush the PB left is what I would describe as a whale tail... I did notice that it "chattered" the first time on the down stroke. So I switch to up-stroking the walls. :oops: Just completed my 2nd brushing of the day -- not much cloudiness, I shall brush 2x again tomorrow...

Thank you both !!!!!!!!! :mrgreen: Simi -- Did you mean can't brush too much/hard. Or I can? Scott. Thank you I have printed that out :) The water temp is about 68 degrees. PH is 7.2 AOK on NO chlorine

Filled overnight last night !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :party: PB said he'd be back Monday to start it up... Of course that meant that I started it up without him to commence brushing and filtration..... So I primed the pump, bled the air out of the filter, and started on low speed. She's...

Tossing in that... when I think of Kansas, I think of wind. Toto, Dorothy, etc... So in case you wish to get support columns in the earth.... I'm working through the surgical process of digging around my newly installed equipment for sprinkler re-routing. When I think that I'm...

Hiyas Mats, I wish I could take credit for the skimmer.... but I shall pass on your compliment to the pool builder :goodjob: It will be white plaster!!! But again, I can't take credit... all color choices come straight from the wife. :bowdown: If it were up to me I am completely...

Thanks Mats! This work for a pic? Happy to take any other angles... The tip of the coping is about 60 cm proud of (ahead of) of the waterline tile.

Thanks guys! Fished out the light this morning -- ty :-D Paver guys finished the walkway around to the pad this morning. Electrician tomorrow, Screen work Tuesday through Friday. Hoping for fillage about two weeks from now!!! Time to become a member and order my test kit :poke:

For posterity -- thiis what the coping showed up as... If by chance anyone else reads this and is considering brick coping -- be sure to prepare your builder that this wouldn't be acceptable, and is *not* remedied by sealer. These are the worse pieces.... but ya... half the pallet was like...

pics :whoot:

Hey Poly, It is good and bad that I am flat out obstinate about getting what I'm paying for.... so the world came to a halt despite the PB explaining to me repeatedly that it would have been fine after I sealed it. He ended up bringing out some sealer and smearing it on the affected...

The brick coping had been a slight delay-factor over the past week. First it showed up as the wrong color. The next batch showed up damaged. The subsequent batch showed up damaged again. The fourth batch showed up fine. Anyway it is finally installed and the grouting will occur tomorrow...

Hello Pool Friends !!!! Ended up going with the Easytouch 8. It ended up being ~300 more than the Suntouch. Things are moving along -- they poured the footers yesterday. So if you happen to be new and or wondering about your first pool.... From the last pic they.... removed the kickers...

Yup, I've been combing through the Easytouch v. Suntouch posts using the search function. My quandry is that I have a very very very vanilla pool, so I am not seeing the need for the extra relays. But then again -- I'm nearsighted :) I would imagine that I should just splurge for the 8 relay...

not much "picture worthy" has happened. plumbing laid to the pad, waterline tile added, pool light pulled. They're throwing the coping on today and digging the footers for the screen. Hope everyone had a great holiday ! Trying to decide between the Suntouch and the Easytouch. Between all...

LOL Mats, I use Miller or Bud to fertilize the hedges, but I wouldn't drink that. :shock: I don't recall ever having a Toohey's -- but I'll keep my eye out for it. Two-buck Chuck is a relatively decent wine from a regional store called Trader Joe's. We don't have one in Florida but my...

:wave: Of course !!!! 8-) You can come on out and see the hole in the ground :) Shoot a PM !

Hi Mats, Your pool is ab-sol-freaking-lute-ly amazing.... If you come to the States again and find yourself in Orlando, FL, then shoot me a PM and I'll buy you a beer!!! :cheers: Yours, Drew

Start -> finish was about 7 hours. Really happy with what it looks like and how it came out. Deck grading tomorrow or wednesday, tile and plumbing Wednesday or Thursday. Time for me to re-read hydraulics 101 for some pipe layout :scratch:
