    Pool Marble Travertine Breaking into Pieces and Crumbling

    While there are a lot of damaged pieces in my opinion, there are also a lot of what appears to be good pieces. https://usbrickandblock.com/marble-vs-travertine-pavers-which-is-best/

    Pool Marble Travertine Breaking into Pieces and Crumbling

    It depends on who you ask. It says marble but my pool builder says it is still travertine.

    Pool Marble Travertine Breaking into Pieces and Crumbling

    I actually went to the distributor/importer in person to look at the travertine as the travertine started to look very porous, more so than in the past, and was becoming harder to get due to the pandemic. I was also told to order it early because it was taking a long time to get. While at the...

    Waterfall doesn't get enough pressure to clear side of pool.

    I haven't had a chance to look or ask my son who hooked it up, but I read the hookup instructions and it said to use the blue disc and the red disc. The red disc is still in the bag, so I assume the blue disc was used. The pump was set to 4 speed which is the max and the max RPM is 2750 RPM...

    Waterfall doesn't get enough pressure to clear side of pool.

    Good question... we were wondering the same thing and several people have said something to us.

    Waterfall doesn't get enough pressure to clear side of pool.

    I think it's a small hole. I can barely put my pinky in it.

    Waterfall doesn't get enough pressure to clear side of pool.

    My husband hooked up the Polaris the other day and attached the black piece in the picture. The picture of the waterfall was taken after. The RPM is 2750.

    Waterfall doesn't get enough pressure to clear side of pool.

    What I meant was the guy plug the hole in the pool where we hook up the Polaris so all the water pressure would go towards the water feature.

    Stain on Diamond Brite Plaster - New Pool Build

    Hi there, I have a dark stain that appeared in my newly finished plaster. I did some research and what I found is quite unsettling. The pool builder office rep said they think it is a loose screw and they will have someone come out to look at it. I don't see where it could be any kind of screw...

    Waterfall doesn't get enough pressure to clear side of pool.

    1. Bubbler 2. Jets 3. Waterfall 4. Floor Returns When I turn on the waterfall I turn the bubbler and jets to off and the floor return to off. The service tech plugged the Polaris port and it worked well. Thing is we can't do that every time and it isn't easy to get the plug to stay in. I'm...

    Waterfall doesn't get enough pressure to clear side of pool.

    I just posted some pics of the equipment setup. You are correct, we have to turn the pump to 4 and shut off the flow to everything else. My husband did say the water is being filtered though. We turn the jets and bubbler to an off position and shut off the floor returns and what you see in my...

    Waterfall doesn't get enough pressure to clear side of pool.

    Thank you all for the posts. The pipe size is 2" and pressure is at 8. The sheers are 2' from the water and ideally I'd like them to come out about 14". That would allow for 8" clearance of the coping and still be out from the coping 6". I could handle even 12" out, allowing for 4" out from...

    Waterfall doesn't get enough pressure to clear side of pool.

    Hi there, My pool is a new construction and the pool builder is trying to get my waterfall to clear the coping on the side of the pool. The pump has been upgraded to a Jandy variable speed pump 1.65 (VS FLOPRO) and while it has much more pressure, it still isn't clearing completely. The pool...

    Pool Marble Travertine Breaking into Pieces and Crumbling

    Yes, the cover one is on what they call a walk on lid. I upgraded to a walk on lid that would hold the weight of stone. They didn't say much about the fact the stone broke in half but they are sending the pool cover company out to look at and adjust the brackets. We'll see what they do...
