    Florida pool build oh boy!

    does anyone know of a product to mix in a sealer that will take some of the slip out of stamped concrete? I love the look of our patio but it is way too slippery. I have found a couple of products to add to the sealer but want to get some user experience with different products. Sherman...

    Florida pool build oh boy!

    The enclosure was $9200. I love it. I can leave my back door open and it feels like a part of my house. I have seen some with glass on top. Only issue is it's hard to clean. Lots of waterspots

    Slide or No Slide...that is the question.

    My agent told me if I really wanted a slide I could get one and not tell the insurance company but if for some reason I filed a claim or i changed something in the policy someone would come out and look at the house and at that time would see the slide.

    New pool in south Florida !

    Re: New pool in south Florida need help on finish! When you call the city, tell them that your financing is only good for a certain ammount of time and you are worried that if the permit takes too long that the loan will expire. I had mine in 24 hours.

    Slide or No Slide...that is the question.

    I wish here in Florida we could get State Farm or Allstate for home owners insurance. I go through Allstate but they make it clear that they are not thte insurance company. State Farm has talked about offering homeowners insurance again in Florida but has not.

    Slide or No Slide...that is the question.

    we wanted one for our pool as our 2 kids would love it. We reached out to the insurance broker and they told us that there is only 1 insurance company in the state that will cover a slide in a pool and I will not like what they are charging. Needless to say we decided against it! You may want...

    Florida pool build oh boy!

    I am not sure how it is rated but I do know i should have got a chiller with mine instead of just a heater. My pool was 87 today. I don't think you can go wrong with hayward. Dluzader, will your pool be screened in? What size patio will you be going with? I wasn't sure if your patio will...

    Florida pool build oh boy!

    They love water! In Ft Lauderdale we used to go to a dog park that had a huge lake and they loved to go swimming. Once we get in the pool I'm sure they will jump right in. It took them a long time to get used to water but once they did they won't get out. - - - Updated - - - I love her...

    New Pool in Orlando, Builder Shopping

    My BP said today that there is no need for the acid feeder but i got the SWG system. HE also said that with a screen he said that I don't need a robot cleaner. I don't have personal experience yet on this though. You could always wait on it and see if yo need it.

    Choosing a builder is so difficult - Tampa, FL

    my PB saved me 9k for a pool apples to apples as all other builders that I received quotes from. He builds pools on the side and does a great job of it. I learned a lot from just watching him and paying close attention to the process. All other quotes were within $1500 of each other that I...

    single pump design?

    I have 1 pump for my pool, spa and water feature. The water feature is pre plummet for later install. The pump is variable speed which is good and there are valves for all 3.
