    LED Pool Light Options

    Good to know about 12V version. I know I had the 110V so maybe getting an transformer installed to flip to low voltage would increase life span.

    LED Pool Light Options

    Hi. I have a Hayward LED lights. These are the older ColorLogic 2.0 version. With a remote I can do a color show with the 2 lights in the circuit. Both have a failed and both were previously replaced once under warranty. So definitively not the most reliable system. Interested in alternatives...

    Pool Remodel in Jacksonville, FL

    OK gang wrapping this post up. Got busy after the remodel and sort of left things hanging here. About one year out from the remodel. Apologizes to all the late PM questions responses. Here is a rundown of the common questions and hopefully this can provide a reference to others considering...

    Pool Remodel in Jacksonville, FL

    In some areas. the pewter grout color got blasted off with the acid wash. They had to drain the pool and fix those areas. One color LED light is also on the fritz. They are still trying to figure that out. I will post a couple of pics when everything is totally finished about along with final...

    Pool Remodel in Jacksonville, FL

    We had some problems with the grout. So they filled pool and quickly drained again. Here is a bit of a sneak peak. I will post a full series of shots when it is finally finished probably next week. I do like the color combination but the water color was a bit darker than I expected especially in...

    New Build Largo, Florida

    This really came a long way. Looks great. The contrasting pool finish colors is indeed a great idea.

    It's beginning to look like a pool!

    Great use of space. Very private oasis vibe. Love the look of the coping and how it blends in with the decking.

    Beadcrete Majestic. Took the guys 5 hours today. I think final acid wash and start of pool fill tomorrow.

    Pool Remodel in Jacksonville, FL

    Things slowed down over the Holiday week. They did some additional prep work and finished all accent tile. Hoping this will all be wrapped up by weeks end. The axiom of pool refurbs/builds is that it always takes longer than expected.

    Mottling

    Although I know this probably absolutely obvious, do not pay until that plaster issue is fixed. It really does not look right.

    New build in N. Ft. Worth (pics inside)

    Not enough of an engineer to comment on retaining wall issue but great backyard redo. The stone work in and around the pool is grand.

    Pool Remodel in Jacksonville, FL

    Suz honestly after seeing your pics I kinda of regret not going with Peacock. I had a very hard time deciding between the two. Kim decided on pewter grout for contrast. They did not do work today but here is the coloring in the bright mid-noon sun:

    New Build- Port St Lucie Florida

    Riley is quite the character!! Honestly, the dimension and hue in the tile pattern coordinates very well with the pool finish. I think it will look great with water added. That tiled in-pool table is fantastic.

    SWG Coping Ideas

    My brother lives in San Antonio and that that place is wicked humid so I thought maybe Austin would be the same. :D I can understand the potential concern in maybe somewhere super arid and hot like AZ, but in TX I think you will be fine. I guess what I am trying to say is that I would not...

    Pool Remodel in Jacksonville, FL

    This is the evolving palette. The new travertine coping blended nicely with original decking. Original pool finish color was going to be Water Blue (bottom) but given the overall hue of the tile have decided to switch to Majestic (middle). Black Sea (top) for comparison is quite dark. The...

    SWG Coping Ideas

    I think if you live in area with any substantial waterfall or humidity the salt water impact on the coping is really a non-issue.

    New Build CT

    As others have said the multicolor LED lights are nice option to consider.

    Pool Remodel in Jacksonville, FL

    The issue of it being slippery was also a concern of mine. I talked to the LightStream people about this. Although it is hard to tell from the pictures, the iridescent glass tile is actually textured and not smooth. This in combination with the grout line produces a frictional co-efficient that...

    Pool Remodel in Jacksonville, FL

    I went with a pewter color grout to give additional contrast; this tile is a true iridescent with color always seeming to shift depending on the intensity and direction of the sunlight. Ended up having a lot of tile left over because the number given to order was for linear feet but I...

    Pool Deck Renovation Help!

    U may want to get a landscape designer to look at things. U could potentially avoid the hassle of the deck redo as the travertine is in good shape by just cleaning that up. Consider outdoor lighting in that area. Your price quote seems very competitive. For my in progress remodel, the travertine...

    Pool Remodel in Jacksonville, FL

    Crew decided to work on Saturday (Halloween). Made a good start with first part of the tile install. Up close. No joint grout yet and still with plastic wrapping. Color is highly variable given the amount of direct sun.

    Pool Remodel in Jacksonville, FL

    New travertine coping in. Because of pool shape could not get zero edge line like originally planned but the new coping still integrates much better with existing travertine deck than prior mortar brick. Glass tile install begins this week.

    Pool Remodel in Jacksonville, FL

    Travertine coping arrived. Lightstream tile finally shipped. They are having some supply issues with the foundry but should still be able to finish by end of October. Still aways to go. Continued prep work for coping and tile install.
