hmmm so interesting!! Thank you for the info!

wow.. thanks so much.. my neighbor has a pool... most of these pools are build partially out of the ground depending on the water table.. so they must have some way of assessing that.. I will get into detail with the builders on this subject.. thx again!!

thank you!!! very good advice... I will be speaking to several builders next week so I will be sure to ask how they assess that situation.

thank you so much!! I am back at the pool design quote etc... I really appreciate your response!

We are building a coastal house on a canal around the Galveston texas area. The pool will be several feet from the bulk head. I have been told soil shifts more in this area and I know we have higher water table as most pools need to be built up out of the ground a few feet to handle high water...

good way to put it!! Ok.. I was leaning that direction.... thanks so much for solidifying my thought process.

I was not sure where to put this question.... I have a salt pool at my home and we love it but it does require very frequent additions of acid every few days. First thought salt water for obvious reasons. But since we don't live there and I will have a company servicing it... I am trying to...

Thank you!! it is so stressful making decisions.... but I love how it turned out. We went with tropics blue mini pebble with puerto rico blend and cobalt blue glass added.... LOVE IT!! Exactly what I wanted.

totally agree on the DE filter vs sand....

Lots!

They came out today and he hand sanded the places .. seems better but wont know for sure until I can actually get in and feel really good.. but I asked him to leave the sanding thing with me so I can work on it myself if I find places!

OK.. that what I was thinking.. just making sure.. thanks so much

So, finally got the new mini pebble clear and beautiful! CYA is in range around 55.. CH 300. Using liquid chlorine right now until we can add salt and adding daily using pool calculator. The PH is high every day.. like 8 or above. adding acid daily. Any ideas on why? What can we do to...

OK.... I was hoping they could do something.. pool is filled.. we shall see.... whoever did that bench... did not do a good job..... ugh

your welcome! post yours so I can see! So exciting!

yes.. slightly overcast... good luck!!

Tropics absolutely does have shells in standard mix.... for sure. Anyway... we plastered last wednesday, acid wash thursday .. filled completely friday morning around 10 ish... So.. we were able to start pump right away since ours is a reno... and filtered with no chemicals till next day...

I am not sure about the glass making much of a difference.. I wasnt going to but plaster guy said he had some left over and would throw in for me so that hand casted cobalt blue glass.. it looks good but some are aggregated in areas more than others if that makes sense.... but I think I am the...

Our pool is just now clearing up and looking like what I think it should... I will take a pic tomorrow.... They added quite a bit of cobalt blue glass.... and I also added puerto rico blend as well...

So my plaster was done last week Wed/Thur.. finally was able to swim few days ago... and one of my benches has some really sharp spots where it wasn't smoothed out properly... really frustrated.. my pool guy is supposed to be letting plaster guy know.. but what can be done about that?? Thank...
