    New build in San Diego.

    Well since the Intellibrites aren't cheap and we never use them during swimming season as they attract bugs (we don't have that many here to begin with) during the night from my experience. I recommend just going with the one. We do however sometimes run them at night during the offseason when...

    Building a new pool in Los Angeles- Need advice. thanks in advance

    I'm on the other side of the fence as I like having a spa built in with the pool. We use our spa rarely when it's warm enough to go swimming in the pool but during the cooler months we use it once a week or every couple of weeks on the weekends. I just don't see the point of powering an...

    The Pool Cleaner hangs on main drain

    Had the exact same problem. To fix it I cut the end of a square eraser and put that underneath the rubber treads on both wheels to give the wheel a little bump of traction to get over that drain. With the bump on both wheels it doesn't affect it's cleaning ability. Far as the deep end is...

    Trying out the GoPro Hero4 in 4K. Forgive the sound of my hand holding the stick and moving around. Guess some night footage would be in order next. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUi_rYs_v5E&feature=youtu.be

    What's your current pool temp?

    It's too funny when I see you post about the wood heater for your pool. You must have a pretty good size chunk of land to keep burning through the wood like you do. What type of wood....oak, hickory....walnut? It is nice though swimming and having the slight smell of the wood burning.

    New all glass tile IG pool build - Houston, TX

    Thanks for sharing the info and are you pleased with how it feels on the feet? It looks so AWESOME and if ever the opportunity comes up to build another pool I'm going to seriously consider this. IMO it's by far and away the most luxurious looking surface for a pool and I would think it's more...

    Looks fantastic! Mind if I ask how much the approximate cost difference between the tile finish you have versus a pebble finish?

    Bobby (My Pool)

    That's a good name for a pool "Bobby". Going to name my pool "Jimmy" after the Seinfeld character. You know..."Jimmy doesn't like bugs in his water!"..."Jimmy likes big waves!"..."Jimmy doesn't like to be too cold!"..."Jimmy likes to be a Trouble Free Pool!"

    Starting off to be a banner year for wildlife in the pool

    We have a raccoon that likes to use our spa spillover into the pool for his own private wash off area. Plenty of muddy little paw prints as evidence in the morning.
