Leaves falling in the pool (we have a robot) and dirt blowing in (high wind area). Pool cleaned 1x a week.

Thoughts on installing porcelain tile on floor of inground pool. They have anti slip and chemicals dont deteriorate it. We have plaster /white and it is constantly stained. This seems like it would last a very long time.

Hello, How have the aqua chairs held up? did you ever test them vs the ledge lounger in terms of comfort etc ? I like that they ship right away and are cheaper but haven't tried the aqua chair brand. Thanks :)

Can we fill only to below the waterline tile? That would cover all of the plaster but leave the grout to cure longer?

Thank you for this! "There is a simple rule to follow when an installation is subjected to high temperatures: The 18º Rule – for every 18ºF above 70ºF (10ºC above 21ºC), portland cement and epoxy-based materials take half as long to cure." So its 88 degrees which is 18 degrees over 70...

The waterline and bond beam grout got put in this morning (laticrete permacolor). It says 72 hrs at 70 degrees till fill.). The plaster company wants to plaster tomorrow so It would likely fill tomorrow afternoon about 33 hours later. How problematic is this? It 88 degrees today and tomorrow...

How will tumbled quartz hold up as a waterline tile? Its pool grade. Pool is salt. Will be used by kids. Don't want shedding of the material in the water. Also, you cant tell in the photo but it has sparkle in it. Will the sparkle disappear from the salt and chemicals? Im thinking it may only...

Is there an iridescent shimmery tile that is ceramic or porcelain that mimics the look or reflective nature of glass? What brands are the best for waterline tile? I need help picking something quick as the glass tile we picked was installed wrong and needs to be ripped out and at this point we...

Hello, I want to make sure that the spillover will not dribble down the glass tile waterline or not flow out etc. I was going to use a glass tile on the spillway but the tile guy said that even with a pitch the water would dribble down the glass tile and calcify it. Instead we said that we would...

How much coverage did the microbrites provider how far across the pool and how far side to side? thanks

@ajw22 like this? thanks

@ajw22 thank you what is your opinion of using a color LED microbrite for lighting the 6 ft convex curve waterfall (photo 2 area)? The only option is flush to the wall underneath horizontally facing out (we have no bench or bump out to have it face up and its the deep end) or on the side wall...

Hi @bdavis466 Its a pentair Magicfalls waterfall 6 feet custom convex curve that will be mortared into the pool wall under the coping. It will have turquoise glass tile behind it. There is a color led intellibrite near by (shown in photo) but with the convex shape most likely wont provide...

The waterfall is going to go on the convex curve in the photo (pool 2). Should I put a microbrite on the pool wall under the waterfall? I want the waterfall to be seen at night. Im not sure the best way to accomplish that nicely. Thanks

Hi I just found that error you mentioned thanks (the names are similar) It is INTELLITOUCH I9+3 PERSONALITY KIT 521221 with power center and screen logic

Yes the intellitouch with power center and screen logic will cover 5 pumps. Its a i9+ 3 and expandable. Purchased 2 VSPs already- own the whisperflo from old set up (was told to buy one more VSP) 3 HP VSP 4 bubblers and 4 deck jets (will have two 2" bypass) 3 HP VSP 6' waterfall and 2 laminars...

@MyAZPool I read you had some insight on this and with the new actuators and automation more may be possible (please read through my initial post ) thanks!! @jblizzle I will not be running all the features/pumps all the time. Only when we are using the pool. I didnt get any guidance and had...

No, here is the planned set up: We want to be able to run each set of features independently. Thanks

@Jimrahbe @Bama Rambler @mknauss

Hello I am trying to plumb 4 bubblers and 4 deck jets on one 3 HP Intelliflo VSP. In order to have the bubblers work independently from the deck jets the plumber says I need TWO Pentair 521485 IntelliValve Valve Actuators (they are listed as setting just the right amount of flow for two water...

@ajw22 @bdavis466 thanks for your help! How far will they shine? If they are on the back wall, the pool is about 19 across. Will they light all the way across the pool? we have stairs on the other side, Im wondering if I place the lights on the pool wall as pictured across from the stairs...

The pool is on the side of the house so it only hits a few windows. Plus we plan to leave them off unless we are using the pool. However, the light would face the spa and we dont want to be blinded (though it would be color and a darker color may solve this). Will intellicenter be able to turn...
