WOW! It looks fantastic!

I know nothing about pool building but I can't think of a good reason to leave it myself. In my mind it seems like something that would just collect moisture and grow mold and bacteria. I ultimately would have already removed it before I even had enough sense to even ask. Good on your for being...

Ouch!

Gotcha! So that single grotto lid rock weighs 3500#? WOW. Around here the rock work is bid by "tons" and increases the price rather quickly. If your original rock was 7000# and the one they used is 3500# you seem to be getting a "good deal", and it looks great to boot! Tell em to hammer down...

I know your not asking me but I personally love it. Some I have seen just rise up from the deck like a skyscraper, yours is tapered and feathered in. It looks fantastic. I am curious about two things though.... 1. What is the height from the coping to the top of the grotto lid? 2. What was...

So I am trying to understand this... your whole home is supplied by a single 125A box? Some others here should have more info as to what was "actually" installed for a pool but all the builders I have been recently meeting with are telling me that they will basically run a 50A service out to...

How do you like the spa like that? I love the idea of the spa being level with the pool, or just slightly elevated. Does it work well? Is your spa spill over just a hair over the pool water and it constantly is flowing out and over the tile into the pool? Again, I love love love the look of this...

I am not sure what to think about the white spots but I will say that I love you water color. What color is it?

Awesome transformation, Love the colors!

In for any answers and advice on this as well since I was interested in doing the same thing.

good to hear that cause the SWG is the way I lean to for ease of use. Now another question regarding this though. If Pool builder A, doesn’t push SWG pools and does not build all that many because they push the mineral system, but pool builder B, LOVES SWG pools do you choose PB B cause of the...

I am in east texas :(

OMG, I completely apologize. I normally don't let much past me but yes, your are right.. that one went right over my head. I understand what you are saying now. I am not sure why, but salt pools around here get such a bad rap that they have put a lot of unfounded fear in peoples mind. Was just...

I definitely lean towards a salt pool but what how close is "too close" to a metal house? I have a large, all metal structure built porch that we were going to take the pool deck right up to.

What range are they quoting for that as an add on? My crew is wanting a big enough grotto for jumping and would love a slide built into it as well but I am concerned about the number?

Thanks, it did sound too good to be true but then they say things like "oh, you don't really want a SWG pool" they will eat up everything in sight. It doesn't help any that I built a "metal" house and they claim the rust is horrendous. At what distance from a SWG pool do you not worry about...

This is probably the wrong place to post this but I wanted to check and see if anyone had any experience with "mineral systems"? PB says that they are "awesome"... requires less chlorine, so it is easier on your skin but also "easier" to maintain than SWG systems? I know SWG are supposedly easy...

Around my area it seems that several use the PPM finishes. I don't have any experience with them though so are there any thoughts or concerns with the PPM products?

my wife and kids want the grotto a lot. They want it to be in one on the bump outs on the free form shape so that it can be a little deeper there but we still have somewhat of a “play pool” in the overall width.

i like Kahlua as well

I am extremely curious in your setup. We have be contemplating something almost identical. Did they give you any ideas on what the physical size the 6-ton grotto would be? Also curious as to what your bid looks like, but understand if you want to keep that to yourself.
