    IntelliCenter + single IntelliValve controlling multiple water features

    I hope one day soon they add the full capability of the intellivalves angle functionality with the Intellicenter. I have 2 valves that control waterfall features and the other bubblers. I got the system so I can be lazy and control everything from my phone and not walk back and forth manually...

    We used Aquron CPSP for all the water proofing of tile area and spa section. The material is clear so hard to see the coverage area from the pic. For plumbing we used Coralreefplumbing

    Picked up the Aquron material and was planning to apply to spa walls, raised bond beams and tile areas. Do you think I will still need to use the blockade material? Any recommendations for thinset or will a basic versabond work?

    Thanks for the details I will look into these. Have you ever used Pacific Polymers Elasto Dec BT II, one of the tile guys mentioned it.

    With us getting closer to Tile time, any recommendations for waterproofing materials/brands? The spa will have an infinity edge and the wifey went with hand made Heath tiles , so we want to make sure we don’t get any Efflorescence through the spa wall and also the raised bond beam....

    Ended up using Stepstone. We thought about poor in place but did not want to deal with the possibility of cracks and mismatch if it was replaced. We are putting pavers in that are from the same company and color also.

    Thanks for the input. Do you think this will light up the entire pool. I want to make sure the deep end is well covered, especially with so many kids that will be using the pool. Do you have any details on adding the lights to the water falls. We ordered the Bobé Water features and they...

    I read your Nov post in the past. From what I understood was the Micro are more universal sized and slightly less bright. My goal is the ability to have a well lite pool at night since we have 5 kids , want to make sure no shadows in the corners. I assume the Micro will work fine in the...

    Ok time for decisions on lights. Originally thinking 4 globrites in the pool , one on Baja and 3 in main pool, with one above bench. All on the house side. (Pool is 44’ long). Is this enough or should I go with 2 on Baja? We will have one bubbler/light on the Baja, maybe 2 if we don’t...

    Gunite PSI

    You might want to find out what your city code requirements are. This way during your PB review you know they are meeting all the requirements. For example my city requires either a soil test or engineer for expansive soil along with shotcrete minimum of 4500 psi ( high sulfate area)...

    Our city surpringly does not. We had an engineering service take care of the pool, raised bond beams and wall requirements. Because of the topology of our area they decided not to have standard city plans. Our construction crew and inspector was surprised on the over engineering on steel and...

    Thanks Roy, waterproofing and drainage already in place, it was part of the engineering plans and inspections. Can you believe 4 city inspections already done on the wall and 2 more to go? The wall is a beast.. 12” cmu with rebar 8” spacing on the bottom 2ft.

    It definitely is not getting any better with the recent rain. This was from only 6 hrs of rain overnight. So glad we have not fully excavated the pool yet.
