Are you kidding? This is one of the coolest threads going! It will not be forgotten until there is crystal water lapping the edges again.I was kinda hoping you guys forgot about it for like another month or so before anyone asked again.
We had the same issue-we are going with the Globrites, but our dig just started so I have no first hand experience. I spoke to rep as well as PBs and a friend who has a pool maint company--all said go with the Globrites--lets see . . .For some reason, I don't get emails when anyone posts to this thread even though all of my alert settings are checked. I only get emails when someone posts to a different thread that I commented on but didn't start.

We have a home addition going on at the same time and I've been pretty tied up with that.
Pool Guy #4 that the guy who sold us the house referred us to has come through. We've been in talks with him and we settled on a plan and a price and he will be fixing the pool for us. So it is definitely not getting re-buried.
We're going with all Pentair. IC40 SWG, Intelliflo variable speed pump, heat pump, DE filter, etc. Adding a tanning ledge, hot tub converted to adult seating area, 2 benches in the deep end, and a waterfall wall.
Right now we are hung up on the lights. His current plan is to install the Globrite LEDs.I have been reading some horror stories about them. I called Pentair yesterday and the lady I talked to on the phone said that the Globrites had a problem but that they changed the way they were made and shouldn't have the same leaking problem. Even so, I still kinda want to switch to Microbrites since I believe they are around the same price and don't have the proprietary niche, so we could replace them later if something happens with other brands instead of being stuck with Globrite. Regardless, we will have at least 2 Globrites because my wife asked him to put the LED bubblers in the tanning ledge.
Has anyone else heard/know if the Globrites have really been changed?
Did the builder give you drawings of what it will look like with the renovation? If so, we love pics!
Check your notifications in the thread settings. I think they are separate from the global notifications in your profile.
We are in hot, hot west central Florida, and we use the spa all winter long. Sit out there and watch movies. We don't use it much in the summer, unless we have had a bunch of rain and the pool cools down too much (85 is cold for us, unless the air is mid 90's). We also have a sunshelf that we love all year round.That's our thought process. I don't really see much use for a hot tub in South Louisiana unless it's a full spa with bubbles, etc. So we wanted to keep the seat there as it is and just let it be part of the pool. I assume it still needs good circulation, etc, so I figured we just take the wall down. Perhaps we can just take it down partially and still have adequate flow? Like cut a strip down the center and leave ~75% of the wall up?

From inside your own thread, in the upper right corner of the thread window there is an option to watch/unwatch and an email notification option. I once created a new thread and then inadvertently unwatched my own thread... duh.Not sure where to do that. It says I'm watching this thread, but that's the only setting I see.
