My Intellicenter is hung up 'rebooting the wireless client.' Before I press and hold the System Reset button on the front of the panel, can someone confirm for me that this simply reboots the system and won't overwrite the program settings? Thx!!

I've figured out how to use the vacuum but I don't think I'm set up for 'vacuum to waste.' Does this pic of the equipment pad show you what you need?

hmm..**furiously googling vacuum to waste** :paddle:I know the pool company left us a pool vacuum, but we've never used it. Always relied on our robot. I'll see if I can figure it out. Thanks to both of you for your quick input.

So a construction crew came and did work on our coping while we were out of town. We returned to a pool full of dust. I have the pump running at high speed and we're running our robot cleaner. Anything else we can do to help clear the water? I read that TFP doesn't recommend the use of pool...

Ok, thanks, all for your input. As someone brand-new to pools and pool ownership, it's difficult to know what is considered normal vs what would cause issues down the road, esp. when we can't depend on the builder's assessment. I'll read through the additional links provided and follow up with...

Thank you, @ajw22 . I believe the finish on the back wall is stucco. In my albeit unprofessional opinion, I don't think it would be very difficult to open it up to gunite. The project managers have eyeballed the area and simply say that it is not a concern. (Each of the lueder stones above our...

That makes sense. So , if this turns out to be the case, any suggestions on a recommended fix at this point?

Great insight, @ajw22 . The crack does seem to line up perfectly with the vertical pipe and the jet in the center of the wall.

Thanks @ajw22 for your insight. Yes, it's a gunite/rebar wall. Here are some pics during the build process:

@ajw22 Any advice?? thx!

No quarries very close that I'm aware of.

Project manager came to take a look this week...he took pics and is going to discuss with the owner; however his belief (no surprise) was that this was normal settling and cosmetic cracking and would not cause long-term issues. Any other builders on here that could share their opinion? What's...

yes, that's what has me the most concerned as well. thx.

Noticed the following hairline crack in the middle of our lueder coping directly above our sheer descent. Crack continues down back of raised wall nearly to the ground. I've also attached pic of sheer descent so you can see the location. The crack is in the top coping directly above the sheer...

Thanks for all of the advice @kimkats @Newdude @bmoreswim @Cena_sea @BigPapaSmurf The construction manager came out to do the final walkthrough and realized right away that they had used the wrong rock. Removed everything and installed the correct mexican beach pebble within 2 days. Loving the...

Thanks for the advice, everyone! I also agree that the river rock would be better...and we chose it specifically because we wanted the smooth look :roll: sigh...we're getting SO CLOSE to finally being finished!

So, we've finally finished our deck and patio project. The patio was completed while we were out of town. We love the finished look but the rock used is different than what we discussed. The contract calls for 2-3" Mexican Blue River Rock. We wanted a larger size since it would be so close to...

I love the raised look! Very modern and goes well with your paver & rock decking.

We have a CMP Brilliant Wonders 4" LED Bubbler Assembly that serves as the bubbler in our tanning ledge. It's just the housing unit, not the LED module, but the electrical conduit was run so I might as well add the LED module. Does anyone know if a pentair microbrite will fit the CMP housing? My...

This is good information - thank you. Our deck is actually covered and in the shade (won't be right next pool) so I'm hoping it won't be too much of an issue.

@CircaSurvivalist wondering how the AZEK is working out for you? We're also planning to go with AZEK Slate Grey and would love to hear your experience.

We had Blue Surf applied in June. It's a beautiful finish and I haven't noticed any imperfections at all. One of the benefits of going with pebbletec is that only authorized installers can do the work. I would think the experience of the installer would impact the imperfections more than the...

PB has long backorder of pool heaters so I'm looking to purchase myself. Best deal I can find right now seems to be Leslie's online - Raypak - 014941 Digital Cupro-Nickel Natural Gas 406,000 BTU Pool Heater for $2456. Any drawbacks to going with a larger heater for a smaller pool (noise, etc)...

Beautiful! We're in Austin and thinking of doing something similar. Willing to share who you used?

Thanks @jimmythegreek I've been doing some reading and some say that the raypak tends to be quieter than pentair..any truth to this? noise would definitely be a factor in our decision. (I'm assuming we can use any brand with intellicenter)

Ok, looks like I'm going have to invest in some type of heater for the pool sooner rather than later. We went without a spa because we were so tight on impervious cover and didn't want to give up the swimming space. However, our pool is in shade most of the day and doesn't get warm enough to my...

The planters are gorgeous, @JMSMommy ! A perfect complement to your project. Thanks so much for sharing - this is exactly the type we're looking for.

Such a beautiful build! Would love to know what planters you ended up ordering. I've been on the lookout for some but haven't found the right look/material.

Waiting for PB to seal the stone. They will be buffing and cleaning the coping prior to applying sealant (MiraGard Dry Look). Is this a common practice to handle this after the fill? I'm concerned about dust/chemicals going into water. What's the recommended best practice in this situation?

Excited for our new pool buddy! The kids have named him 'Sheldon' :giggle:
