We just finished our first month start up service and are now on our own. The SWG is fired up and I've done some testing but have a few questions about Pool Math and chemistry. For reference, my pool is new, plaster finish, about 1700 gallons, IC40 started up. Using the TF-100 and K-1766 salt...

Pool guy added 200 pounds of AquaSalt yesterday to get the SWCG up and running. Pool is a little over a month old. I watched on the video and he also poured a solid orange plastic gallon-ish -sized bottle of liquid along the side (which I assume was muriatic acid) and a solid white bottle...

I was all set to call and order my S200 robot. Then the pool service guy who our PB contracts to do the first 30 days of new pool start-up service dropped of a new Polaris 7240 sport to demo/tempt us with. ;) I'm sure his price will be much higher than what I could get the S200 for. I looked...

Hi! My pool was finished a week ago with Plasterscapes. We have a startup pool company who handles new pools for or PB for the first 30 days. He's been coming and doing his thing, but today I broke out my TF-100. Care to take a look and let me know your thoughts on how we're doing? pH . 7.8...

It's been quite a long haul so far... As long as we pass inspection, we may be plastering this week! I'm feeling a bit unprepared and need to really study Pool School (have it printed out already!) and get my TF-100 kit! We are using regular old-school plaster (no aggregate finish) in our...

I need to decide on tile asap. I found one I like ("A") and can get it slightly discounted vs a regular-stock one ("B"). Both are from MasterTile. Does price on glass tile generally equate to quality? The difference in price is not huge, but "A" (the discounted one) is slightly higher still...

I'm posting this separate from my pool build thread because this needs to be decided today. I have no idea where to have the spa jets placed. We will have 6 jets in a 7' square spa. Upper back ? Lower?

Tomorrow is Day 1 and I've really put off deciding on most things because with all the city's hoops we had to jump through for being near a hillside, our pool almost didn't happen. We're in south-west LA with a beautiful ocean view. No trees in the yard to drop stuff in the pool, lots of sun...

Hi! :wave: I'm new here. We are about to begin a new IG pool build here in SoCal. I have been searching through old threads here like a madwoman to find "the" tile. Turns out it is hands down NPT's Arctic Lagoon. Also turns out it is discontinued. Our PB was told it was because of issues...
