Thank you for all the comments, we're very happy!
OK to answer some questions..
We do like the tri jet very much! The only thing I'd do differently on the spa is put the seats down about 3" more.
We did not seal our travertine. Perhaps we will later but in speaking to several masons, all said it's not needed with the amount of salt in a residential pool.
Our sun shelf is roughly 4" deep, perhaps 5". Works great for us and our Shepherd/lab mix loves it. The bubblers are turned down. I have a 2hp pump for the bubblers and fountain in spa. I can adjust the flow and we have it up about halfway. We can get them about 14" above the water line if we choose.

Thanks for the info on the sun shelf, Brian. It seems the winning formula to really get some power to the bubblers is a standalone water feature pump.

Again thanks for the compliments!! Yes we have actually used it quite a bit since it's been fairly warm here. Water temperature has been between 72-77. We had the ok to turn on heater on the 8th but waited a few days and did heat the pool this weekend. It surprisingly did not take long to reach 85.
I've since turned it off. We just wanted to do it once

Pool looks GREAT. Aren't the jets in the hot tub powerful as all? Super strong, I wish I went with 8 jets instead of 6.
Ditto on the sealing the travertine. Have a great Turkey day.
