Thank you... the steps are built into the pool (shotcrete, plaster). Yes, I like the two tiered, otherwise it's a very large step to get out of the water. The bench is about 14" water depth, plus the coping, tile, so it would be a 20" step out of the pool without it.

Your pool is pretty much what we build about 2 years ago... we love the shape and design. We do have a swim out bench in the deep end -

You are correct, the cement is white without any stains or dyes, and the aggregate is mostly white/clean with very little dark blue and black mixed in. I appreciate your input. The pool looks better every month as the cream goes away. It doesn't look bad, it just doesn't look fantastic. But...

He's two pictures of our top steps at opposite ends of the pool, both about 5" water depth -

Thank you for the reply, it's quartz aggregate. Here is a close up picture of the circled area that has been exposed -

All is going well with the pool! After some help form @JoyfulNoise to help get rid of some scale, I have a question for @onBalance or anyone else that can help regarding my plaster. Now that the pool as been filled for two years, it seems a lot of cream remains on the surface of the plaster...

Thank you very much for the reply!

Hello TFP, this is my first post over in this section. Sorry if this post goes in a few different directions, but I'm trying to diagnose an issue here. One year ago this month, we filled our newly built plaster pool. This is our second plaster pool, so I'm somewhat familiar with pool upkeep...

Do owner builder if you can... its really not that bad!

Glad the gunite went well! It looks like they did a nice job! @AQUA~HOLICS @ajw22 @Newdude all helped tremendously on my build as well. As a side note, I really appreciate your formatting and grammar. It makes it so much easier to read through a thread when everything is neat and organized!

No worries.... As I sit out by my pool as I type this, I honestly can't imagine having the deep end off the swim deck. Perhaps if the goal is so people can comfortably stand next to the spa, you could put in a shelf to stand on or a bench to sit on along it. That of course doesn't solve your...

Looks nice! Something to think about.... It seems backwards to me to have the deep end off the tanning ledge. We spend most of our time either on the tanning ledge or in the shallow end. I feel like its really nice to go back and forth easily. I can't imagine having to swim over to the...

Very cool build! What town are you in PR? I lived in Condado for a year and visited pretty much every small town on the island.

Just and FYI - I bought and installed 4 of those CMP deck jets you posted. ALL four of them leaked at the ball/swivel connection. Its a cheap plastic on plastic joint. Its not a large leak, but about 1 drop out of the bottom of the unit every 10 seconds, which was enough to bother me. The...

What do you mean the sheer wall is leaking? Pictures will definitely help with this one.

That's some great info! I've been curious about this as well as I just filled my new build in Las Vegas about two months ago. One of my neighbors uses a small undersink RO system to refill his pool. He uses the waste line to water plants. I was interested in the RO system as well, but his...

Small updates - We added salt and I installed the SWG after 5 weeks. Everything is working great so far and we're extremely happy with the pool. We had some artificial turf installed around it last weekend. Next - Outdoor kitchen,, fire feature, and more landscaping! At least we have...

Hi all, I've read numerous threads on salt brands and have figured out it really doesn't matter as long as it's pure. I saw this Culligan salt at Costco. It's pretty inexpensive. It does have something called Sofner-Guard. I didn't see any info on Culligan website and there is non on the bag...
