My pool is currently 2.5 yo with a Luna Quartz finish. If it is to be re plastered with another finish, is it common practice to chip out old finish or to simply overlay? Thank you!

I am looking for others who have Luna Quartz finishes. I am wondering how old your finish is, what color it is and if you have mottling and scarring all over your pool. Also, can you see the trowel marks? My pool is 2.5 yrs old and I have Barbados color. I have significant mottling and...

I just noticed a very long crack in my pool. My pool in gunite with luna quartz. It is about 2-3 ft long. Is this normal? My pool is about 2.5 yrs old. Thanks I posted 2 pics... hopefully is shows well as it won't allow me to post anymore.

My pool is ~18m old. I seem to have these rust color stains that keep popping up. I scrub/brush but they are still there. Noticed more today. My CYA was really high and I guess had been high for awhile. Over the weekend I did a partial drain of the pool and will be looking at getting pool...

Anyone have one of these? We are looking at mistaway but can not find any reviews. Wondering if they work or if its hype.

Hello. I have 3 Intellibrites in the pool/spa. They are 15 months old. We have used them ~ 550 hrs. On one of the lights, the red color is out. Any thoughts on this? Is this normal for intellibrites? Thanks so much.

We just put in a new pool in January. So when we were building this pool our pool company told us that we needed to change our gas meter to a 2lb meter to accomedate our pool heater and our gas firepit. Our pool is ~ 23k. The pool co. told us they rec. all their customers do this so there is...

Built pool last month and used luna quartz to plaster. My previous pool was pebble tec and we had no issues with the coloring (just too abrasive for us). Anyway, the plaster came out all streaked and there were these dark lines running down from the returns in the spa. Looked like cracks but...

So our old pool was swg and I loved the feel of the water and how well it reacted to swimsuits, skin, hair, etc.. Our new pool will be chlorine and I can already see my blondies (kids) turning green and my skin being dry and itchy. Please tell me this won't be the case. I thought I heard...

We are putting in a gas fire pit when we put the new pool in. We keep hearing about these glass fire pits but no one actually has one. So I searched the internet and they look awesome. Anyone here have them? What's the difference between the 1/4" vs. 1/2" ....obviously the size ;) but...

So we signed our contract with Encore and should start the build in the next couple weeks. Here are some pool pics. Specs: 35x24, ~24,000 gal, 7' round spa, 3.5 ft - 8ft, 4 ton waterfall. We also are having the fire pit and an indoor kitchen put in. Super happy with it :)

My legend seems to be getting stuck at 2 certain points at my steps. It has never done this before. I replaced one set of tread tires as the ones on the back had no more tread. I switched the older ones to the back and put new ones on front. It climbs nicely and I have seen it go up steps...

We first built 6 yrs ago and every builder was pro saltwater. We got saltwater and have loved it. We have had some erosion on flagstone. Anyway, we are moving and planning to do another pool but refuse to use the builder of our first pool. Every co. We have talked to is anti swg. Ugh.

Our current pool has pebble tec. Love the look hate the maintance and it tears my kids up. We are moving and planning on building another pool. It was suggested we try Luna quartz and they can add extra abalone shells. Anyone have this? Thoughts? Thanks.

Several times a year I wake to see a drop in water level in our spa (spillover). it happens when the weather starts to cool down. Our pool runs from 9am -4pm. Typically it falls about 1 inch below tile line. But sometimes it goes all the way to jets. Any ideas? This has happened for a couple...

We used sunset pools about 6 yrs ago and would NEVER use them again. We are moving and looking to build again. Thanks.

We are needing input on this specific co. They are actually located outside Houston. We are building a house and the builder has some deal worked out with this company. If it looks good then we will have a pool built during the same time as out house. If not, then we will put a pool in after...

We have to replace our colorlogic pool light. Since it only lasted a year, I am pretty hesitant to get another. Came across intellibrite and looking for feedback. Also, if we had a colorlogic, could we easily replace it with intellibrite or is it a hassle? Thanks so much!

I have the Eayt Touch 8 indoor controller. It has had to be replaced a couple times but this one we have had about 3-4 yrs. Anyway, the last 3 rows display does not show for the first maybe 5 characters. Batteries are fine and the controller works. Anyone had issues with this? Thanks

So long story short...our builder implied he was putting in a SAM in the pool. A little over a year later with less than 200 hrs on lights, we started losing colors. Called my crappy builder who told me to call pentair (and I did based on the brochure HE gave me for my lights). Pentair said...

I just noticed that we have rust colored speckles pn pebble tec. Most of it is on steps and shallow end. None in deep end except on the bench seat. I scrubbed an area really hard and it did not seem to make a difference. There are some areas that I have scraped my fingernail on and it came...

We noticed a leak a couple months ago. We called out American Leak Detection and they can not seem to pinpoint the leak. They guessed where it was in the spa and gave us a nice hefty estimate to repair. They gave us some suggestions of things we needed to do so they could try to get a more...

I have a leak and a pool service co. came out and told me that I needed to have a leak detection co. come out to pin point leak as it is somewhere under my surcrete. Anyone dealt with this before and know of a good reputable co to use in Houston Area? Thanks so much!

Anyone have experience doing this? Do you have to drain the pool? After about 2 years my light stopped producing all the colors and now it is down to 3 - green, red and yellow. Thanks

We have an inground pool and spa that are connected. The spa is higher than the pool. Last night we turned on the spa (have not done so in about a month). When we came out, there was water running from the spa (raised) down the sucrete. We looked and could see water coming out of a small...

My pool is less than 5 yrs old and it appears the thormostat adjuster has gone out for the 2nd time. My pool fill was March '07. It went out Sept. '09 and now appears to be out again. This is our first pool, is this typical? Our pool equipment is no longer under warranty, is this an...

Wondering how long other people's bags last. I am replacing mine at least every 6 months. Curious if this is normal or not. Mine always get holes/tears in them. Also, anyone know of a good site that offers lower prices on the parts to this cleaner? I am in need of another bag and 4 wheel...

I have these white, thin, pieces of stuff that comes out of my returns. Tons of it. It is also the stuff that you find in your cell when cleaning. What is this stuff and how do you keep it out of your pool? I test my pool on reg. basis and all is well other then adjustments for ph. Saltwater...

So pool did not start as usual this morning. Checked and my intellichlor shows red light by flow.checked all skimmers and basket filter, nothing blocking it. Turn system to service and proceeded to backwash, rinse - no problem. Restart system via service mode. Everything running fine. I...

We have had our pool for 3y 5m. Probably used our SAm 100 hrs max. A couple months ago we noticed we were losing colors. We are now down to red, green and yellow. According to a website this is a 7 color light. We are past warranty. Called Pentair who did not have a clue other then to say...
