I am interested in using aquaBRIGHT if I refinish my pool and one of the benefits is that it is much more maintenance free and chemically inert as well as forming a continuous watertight surface. You will lose a lot of those benefits if you tile part of the surface.
Running water features cools pools.
Our solar panels and solar cover do a great job of warming our pool water. Good solar panels are robust and most have 10 year warranties. Mine only had one minor leak the first spring when I restarted the solar. Leaks are pretty obvious both because of water coming off the roof and also the water level dropping in the pool. A quick check each spring should cover it.
SWG should be the same brand if you plan to add pool automation like an easytouch panel. Otherwise it doesn't matter.
Oh pool D.C. *Sigh* I was afraid someone would say this about the tile. It's just so PRETTY. But I've recently been dealing with mold and mildew because of this pool - and can't spend all this money to have yet another problem because of my silly tile wants. *Sigh again*
If our roof is flat, would we necessarily know if a panel leaks? I understand (all too well, unfortunately) that a change in water level would also indicate this, but worry a lot about these crazy flat roofs.
On a positive note, we are very impressed with our pool builder who specializes in AB!
Thank you for your advice!
