Spa valve was slightly opened... I closed it and all is good now!

The pool builder just finished the pool acid wash and started filling the pool. They put one hose in the raised spa and one in the deep end of the pool. The pool worker guy said, once the spa is filled, remove the water hose from the spa and put it in the deep end. He said not to let the hose...

They did not hit water when digging. there is ground water coming into the pool through the large holes they left in the gunite. i think that is due to the record rain we had been getting. They say the plaster will cover the holes they left in the gunite floor.

Building a 50k gallon pool in Dallas. Builder speced a IC60 SWG. is this too small?

My pool builder had the gunite sprayed for my pool today in Texas and it was 102 degrees outside with humidity around 35%. Will these high temperatures cause issues? We will be watering it 3x a day for the next 10 days.

We were curious if anyone has changed the size of the pool after the contractor had staked out the pool prior to the digging. how much larger did you make it? what was the added cost? thanks!

It went well. Picked out coping, tile, pavers, etc.... excited to get started!

What size is the pool you are building?
