Thanks to Jblizzle's suggestion and all the other encouraging comments here is the result. The last "tweak" will eventually be to move the flow pipe back about 2 inches into the structure so it is less visible and lift the angle of the cooper downspout. My wife gave the the best compliment when...

Update: 1) OK so I am not content with the way the water meets in the middle of the flow and creates a confluence. My fault in having the water come from both sides to the sleet... so I am going to buy a sheet of copper to make a lip , ease off the flow, add some material to baffle the water in...

Here in So Va our unheated pool got up to a balmy 76F on Saturday! Water is crystal clear so just need a few more days of sunny skies to have it ready for a Memorial Day BBQ!

Not sure why I was able to upload the 1st JPG that had more pics while this last one was blocked until I made it a GIF and reduced the size. If anyone has suggestions on how to best post images I am ready to learn!

Thanks for your comments banditig, will let it run for a week or 2 before I get back to it. here is the final result.

Hi folks, I completed the build yesterday. I am pleased with the results, more importantly so is my wife! My only issue is the way the water flows out of the PVC pipe. I wanted a crisp sheet of water, I am no Hydrologist but I expect I did not achieve this as I have the water being fed from both...

Hi, here is an update. Concept and pricing phases are done, the bricks and adhesive will cost $160 while the PVC waterfall will cost $20 - a good deal less than the $650 scuppers I have found. Here is the front view back will be the same less the 18in water fall opening. Here is the side view...

I need to replace a flickering Hayward Colorlogic. Online new they are $450+ but found one on CL did to be 1 yr old in box for $200. What do you think? Thanks

OK, here is an update. I have determined the dims of the project to be 28 in long (side of pool) x 24.5 in deep (away from pool) x 20.5 in high. The price depending on the final size and configuration of the bricks used will be under $140.00. I have been searching the web for affordable...

I will be sharing photos all along this journey!

Hi Jason, thanks for your comments. I plan on buying the bricks from Home Depot and trying a number of builds (like Lego!) until I find the best configuration and then returning what I don't use. Once I decide on a structure I may use exterior adhesive on a few select brick to get it strength...

The in-ground pool has plumbing for a water feature but the former owner took it with them... I was thinking of using PaveStone Rumble Stone to build a structure (maybe 36 in w by 18 in deep by 24 in high) and then building a scupper out of acrylic to sit inside and create a sheet water fall...

Hi 3rd year of owning an in-ground salt water pool in southern Virginia. Was paying a pool service to maintain but have gradually begun to take on tasks. This spring's opening will be a major milestone for me. A part from having water tested and adding in what I was told to do I have cleaned...
