sounds like I may have gotten some bad advice, :( now I'm starting to rethink my choice to not go SWG:unsure:

Hey Jim, At first I was not using the TFP method. It wasn't until my SWG went out the 1st time and I developed algee, went on the net to find out how to cure it that I found this awesome site. I'm not saying that SWG's are not great, they are, but just wanted to let the OP know there are...

It's a personal preference to me. I've had 2 new pools built and done them each way. 1st pool built with SWG, it was great as far as maintaining the pool. However after 3 years of service you start to realize the effects that salt has on equipment and any stone work you have. I had to replace...

Thanks Flippy We are really happy with the color. The blue with the tan tile seemed to go together in samples but you never know until you see the finished product. We are really happy we went that direction.

The kids used it for the first time this weekend and loved it!!! We don't get to turn on the heater for another two weeks so with A water temp of 68 degrees the wife and I are going to wait. I know what a wuss!

Thanks and NO!! My kids bug me every day!!!! The plaster went in on Friday and the pool finished filing Sunday night. PB told us to wait a week and the plaster guys told us to wait two weeks!!!! The kids are going with the PB so we have a couple more days to go :(

Re: New Nor Cal pool build*updated slide pics* Plaster~! Bermuda Blue Quartz

Re: New Nor Cal pool build*updated slide pics* The slide color did get changed but they had problems with the clear coat again. We went ahead and plastered and they will be out again to make it right.

Re: New Nor Cal pool build*updated slide pics* Thanks Buddy, Now if i can just get the slide close to the same color as yours i will be happy. I showed PB yours yesterday, so hopefully when i get home today it will be close. Then we can finally plaster and fill. :whoot:

Re: New Nor Cal pool build*updated slide pics* Thanks I am in the same boat, i would have started with a pile of gunite and ended up with a pile of gunite! It was pretty crazy to watch him hand carve everthing. I was impressed with just the gunite, once he smoothed everthing out and colored...

Stick to your guns on it if you're not happy. I was fortunate my PB also agreed it didn't look right. I'm really happy it was refinished as it now looks like what I was expecting. Are your issues to do with aesthetics or to do with slickness/smoothness? Both... My forman and i were on the...

We have also had some problems with the finish of our slide. Hopefully today will be the day it comes out right. I hope mine looks as good as yours in the end. I think if you keep posting pic's of the slide Ken will be adding one before long. Ha!

Re: New Nor Cal pool build*updated slide pic's* Rocks are complete just have to finish slide color and top coat.

Re: New Nor Cal pool build carving

Re: New Nor Cal pool build hand carving of the rock's. I can't say enough good things about the pool builder: Premier Pool's They truly have some great craftsman! The guy who hand crafted the waterfall and slide (all by himself) I might add was an artist.

Re: New Nor Cal pool build finished gunite

Re: New Nor Cal pool build Gunite for slide

cbink, I followed your build all they way through. Just can't believe how amazing everything turned out, bet you and the family are thrilled. Every new picture you post makes me want to get to the finish line that much faster! Thanks for sharing the journey with us.

Re: New Nor Cal pool build slide ready for gunite

Re: New Nor Cal pool build Start of the slide. :-D

look's as good at night as it does during the day!!! :goodjob: So cool

Re: New Nor Cal pool build We ended up going with all Jandy equipment. From what I can tell all of the big brands seem prety equal. Although I'm sure they all have their plus and minuses.

Re: New Nor Cal pool build decking

Re: New Nor Cal pool build tile

That's great to hear. I was curious as to what the speed would be. I'm sure there is going to have to be many more water "tweaks" this week!!

Re: New Nor Cal pool build Will do. Thanks for the heads up on all the equipment.

Your pool came out soooo nice!!!! About how tall is your slide. We are doing a slide also ours is six feet in height but seems so much shorter in length than yours. Anyway awesome build!! Congrats
