A must to anybody with a pool. Brand new is $399, I have it for 2 years and asking $200.00. It works like brand new and the video was just made March 22nd: I can meet anybody in Tampa Bay and will accept cash/PayPal "Family & Friends". Feel free to ask questions. Thanks!

Anybody considering this new model? http://youtu.be/Mys-r1dmouM I have a 2 years old Pentair Great Shark and just spent $100.00 fixing it. Still working great but I thought the new one might be an improvement.

Please check my posting about what I wen thru to get my first pool: 15x34-new-pool-in-tampa-bay-florida-t40367.html Since you are willing to spend more for the travertine, why don't you consider pebble for the finishing instead of marbletite?

I had the builder use their own paver contractor (Couch Pavers) but I will never let anybody from them to get into my property again. Very arrogant, sloopy job while applying the sealant, which got caught on my outdoor kitchen's refrigerator and I had to clean it myself. I have a great guy for...

No, I did not because the sales woman (Susan Jarvin) was full of bs pushing me to do things that I really did not need and/or was not mandatory. Still, I recommended them to few other forum members and believe that they got a good deal.

Really nice. Who was your builder?

Who was the different company? What does your pool look like?

So, are you settled with Anchor Pools?

It is called "TerraNeo" from DryVit Systems: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxABbOBOneI http://www.dryvit.com/fileshare/doc/col ... rraneo.htm My color is the 'Serengeti" and looks pretty cool.

Before the pavers were installed, I had the electrical and plumbing done for the kitchen. After we passed inspections, another company installed the kitchen over the pavers. It is an aluminum frame that they built at their facility and just installed like an appliance. It is not bolted to the...

Honestly speaking, Larry Varner (the owner) seems to be a honest and good guy, however I think his wife running the business only damages the outcome. Most of the other people that worked with them mentioned the same and even some of his own subcontractors. In my case, it looks like he ran out...

Thanks! The furniture are from Crate & Barrel and are 20% off until the end of July: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/alfresco- ... ion/f46799

I don't know what you mean by "drained down" but I see that I have an overflow release PVC tube that is working 24x7 trying to keep the water to spill over...

Raining all week is driving me crazy....

Well, I knew one day it would be over and now it is, here a few pics after the landscaping was done: As soon as I have a chance, I will take pictures at night to show the solar powered pavers :party:

Thanks guys. I damped on the pool just to be safe. My PB showed up today and mentioned that what is supposed to be on the skimmers is the product for the DE filter.

My pool is new and my PB is out of town. I have the Pentair IntelliChlor chlorine generator and it shows that I need salt. My PB putted on bag before on the skimmer but the person at Pinch-A-Penny said that this is wrong, could damage the filter and I should put the salt on the water. Any...

I live in Tampa Bay Florida and had my pool filled on May 03rd 2012 with around 14K gallons. My pool builder setup the Pentair Intelliflo Variable speed pump to work everyday from 9AM to 5PM. Is this the right time? 8 hours? Today he installed the Pentair Great White vacuum. My electrician and...

Thanks guys. Lets wait another month until they start the chemicals, pass county inspections, install lights, kitchen and landscape. At that time I will be able to relax and enjoy it.

Finally some good news. Last Monday April 29th they finished electrical and on Tuesday they applied the pebble finishing and installed the equipment. It took almost 36 hours to fill the pool and on Thursday they added muriatic acid. They told me to brush it twice a a day for 10 days and will be...

Today is one month that they installed the pavers, I paid a fat check ($10K) and no work has been done since then. Rarely a phone call to explain, unless I call repeatedly and get lame excuses that the "people that install the pebble finish" are not available.... Take notes forum... :hammer:

They are installing either tomorrow or friday. As soon as they do, I will post some pics. In the meantime, why don't post pics of yours, so that other members can try to help?

Hopefully I will have more pics next week

Very similar. Who was your builder? Mine (Anchor Pools) keeps postponing to put the pebble finishing and now I am waiting for next Wed (04/18) to have it done and fill the pool.

Thanks. Do you have pictures? We found out that the sun shelf will only get sun up to lunch time, so we won't need an umbrella there. Today they cleaned the concrete, tomorrow they might place the mosaics and either Thursday or Friday they will put the pebble finishing.

Several people mentioned what you said and even some county employees agree, but the county is not that flexible. They will give a break if you pipe breaks, but for a pool fill there is no common sense....

Pasco County does not compensate. I called them to inform that I was going to fill a pool and was told that I would be charged anyway.

Thanks. Now that it has already rain, it is looking nicer. Once we pass inspections, I will have it sealed.

Just came from the local Pinch-a-Penny store and they recommended the Pentair White cleaner: http://www.pentairpool.com/pool-pro/pro ... ite-64.htm Any experience with that? Thanks

Is the Pentair SandShark the best cleaner for pebble finishing? My builder mentioned and I wanted to check with you guys. http://www.pentairpool.com/pool-owner/r ... dshark.htm
