About two weeks ago, I put my S300i in for the first time since the pool was built and I am astounded at how well it works! It sucked up about 2 cups of dirt as well as all the pebble that was left over after finishing/filling. My pool has an island with a lazy river and I have only had to...

I actually remember what it was now - You have to register for an account and your MSP from the website on a computer before you can register with the app.

I recently finished my installation and I had the same issue. I ended up calling Hayward and they helped me resolve the issue. I can't recall what the fix was, but it was simple.

Added in a Costco patio structure. For $1500, these things are NICE! Still have quite a few things to wrap up the project... Install deck jets and actuator Install drip irrigation Haul in 5 yards of lava rock for the landscaping Plant patch of grass for the doggy latrine Build cover for...

That is fantastic stone/mason work!

Looks like you're up in Deer Ridge or Shadow Lakes - Hello from a fellow Brentwood resident here! I'm down by Bristow middle school...

Just make sure your skimmer is at the downwind side of wherever the common prevailing winds are for your house. You only get one shot at it's placement, so be sure it's right!

Floating in a tube, it takes about 30 seconds to float around the island. It gets hung up midway, but a quick nudge against the side and you're moving again. Took a few drone shots after dark tonight, looking pretty rad!

Per Kim's request... Water Features!

Looking good! Another suggestion with your spa - Have them put in multi level seating, that way people of all sizes can be comfortable with where the water sits on them. It's something I designed into mine and it's a hit for sure.

I just finished up a pool with StoneScapes Tahoe Blue (see my build thread). There is a bit of green in the Tahoe Blue, so I'd stay away from that if you want 0 green (it's more a teal color TBH.) I've seen Tropics Blue and Aqua Blue and Aqua Blue is definitely the "blue-er" of the two. Aqua...

Plans look great, plus you'll still have a LOT of backyard to work with! I love the patio overhang built into the house, that's something I'm going to add eventually...

Good luck! Having just wrapped up my build, I learned a lot by just lurking and reading here. The one piece of advice I can offer from my experience is be on-site as much as possible. There are always little decisions to be made during construction that need someone there.

Pool color is really looking good now - I was nervous at first, it looked a little too green to me. Looking great now!

Post updated with links to photos that actually work! Hayward came by today to finish setup of the OmniLogic, but as an IT guy, I had already done it.... LOL! Now I'm just working on balancing the chemicals!

It was a busy weekend! We started landscaping, plaster was done, pool was filled! And now for the good stuff!

I did! I asked for wavy lines with deep expansion joints. We haven’t even pressure washed or sealed it, I can’t wait to see it done...

Getting closer! Concrete deck is finished and equipment is set. Plaster is scheduled for Saturday with an acid wash on Sunday followed immediately by starting to fill! Final size is 21,000 gallons for the main body of water and 2,000 for the spa.

That looks fantastic! Great design and I love the stone work!

The calm before the concrete pour!

Well, it's been a long time coming, but our rock building sub finally freed up and we are on the home stretch! Here is the rockwork in progress: - - - Updated - - - Concrete forms getting laid out and Posey sniffing around waiting for the pool to get filled: - - - Updated - - -...

Too funny, my wife is a teacher as well!!

Yep, there will be a waterfall in the island. There is a gas line there, but will be capped off for now until my autistic son can learn to not play with every knob he can find... :) Been watering 3 times a day, keeping it damp. Using a sprinkler a well at times, but I was getting water...
