@Meadow, the gray plaster is holding up pretty good, it has a pretty cool marble look. Here are my numbers as of today (startup was on 12/16/2017).... 2/5/2018: FC: 4 PH: 7.5 TA: 120 CH: 350 CYA: 80 CC: 0 TC: 4 Salt: 3600

Ping, Thanks for your feedback. I haven't added anything to raise CH. As far as lowering TA, I will continue to add acid and aerate until my TA reaches a good level.

Here are fill water numbers: pH: 8.2 TA: 160 CH: 75

Sorry for the delayed response, work has been crazy. I will get the fill water numbers tomorrow. I am located in Southern California. Regards, Jim

Thanks Kim. I was surprised how fast it was built, two weeks early. Just in time for Christmas.

Looks great! Congrats

Thanks Pat! Currently on the 7th day of the Traditional Start-Up. Kiddos can't wait to jump in. My goal is to have them swimming by MLK weekend.

Thanks Scott. Such a small world. I remember you from the poker tourney fundraiser. The ugly rumpus room is hard to forget lol.

Awesome build. So fun to watch!

Nice build Greg. Your PB did a great job. We can't wait to test out our spa and our dogs want to jump in as well.

Thanks Greg! I used it as my workshop to begin with but then the kids took over and used it as their hangout. I wish I didn't have to tear it down but it was either remodel the rumpus room or a pool. Yeah the ghosts are my kids from the pano shot LOL.

Hey Kim! Yes the rumpus room had two 20 circuits going to it. That power was re-routed for planter lighting and future gazebo. The demo was crazy and fun at the same time. The concrete was already there and yes it took a lot of dump trucks, 7 to be exact. The rumpus room had 18" x 24"...
