    Maintaining Glass Mosaic Tile

    It costs more to bead blast glass tile. I got quotes between 800-1100$. But all of my tile is glass tile. I guess they use a different (more expensive) medium when blasting glass tile to not damage the glass and take away the gloss

    Maintaining Glass Mosaic Tile

    I have tried everything to keep my glass tile free of calcium build up, but it’s impossible if you have a water feature such as a spillway which I do from the spa to the pool (which I can’t turn off). I don’t have any calcium build up at the water line or anywhere else, just the spill way. I...

    Vacuum frequency

    Hi neighbor! This year the winds have been unbelievable. I live in north Palm Springs area so we get a good grunt of it.

    Pool deck resurfacing and cleaning the pool

It’s not a job I’d ever wanna have done again unless I was getting my...

    Pool deck resurfacing and cleaning the pool

    I had my pool resurfaced and retiled last October. We now need to resurface the deck (concrete) as the previous owners just painted it and the paint is peeling everywhere. The concrete company admits that the process is messy and will make a mess in the pool due to the dust during the grinding...

    Just received my warrior SI! Question about weekly running cycle

    Hey everyone! I am so excited my warrior SI just got delivered! I was reading through the instructions and I read about the settings that has the robot run either daily, every other day or every 3 days which seems handy! However it also says in the instructions to not leave the robot in the pool...

    Warrior SI and in ground spa?

    Hi all! I’m very excited I just ordered a warrior SI from marina! I was just wondering though, can I put this robot in my in ground spa or are the steps too steep for it to clean in there? I’ll attach a pic of my pool for reference.

    Warrior SI and glass tile

    I am thinking of ordering the warrior SI cleaner and I know it scrubs the waterline tile. Should I be worried that it could scratch my waterline tile if it’s all glass tile? Thank you!
