you keep looking! You never know what will show up some where.....are you on Next Door or such for your area? You might think about asking anyone if they have some of the color you want laying around.

We had the Blue Square Q-360 In-floor Cleaning System installed when our pool went in. Lifetime warranty...
After about 5 years, some of the heads weren't working correctly, ie; they wouldn't go back down 100% which is what you need them to do so they can rotate to the next position next time that head gets water.
Anyway - I showed the pool co while they were looking at something else ... and they ended up replacing ALL the heads - under the lifetime warranty - no cost. The new heads are built WAY better than the originals (stainless steel moving parts vs all plastic).
The heads are great - keeps the bottom of the pool pretty clean.
In AZ, we do get lots of dirt on the bottom of the pools, the heads push it down to the main drains and is then caught by the filter just like it's supposed to do.
Toward the end of life of the original heads, I was constantly sweeping dirt clouds toward the drain. Now the brush doesn't seem to be sweeping anything but a clean floor.
Definitely worth getting the pop-ups - ESP in AZ

That's what we ended up having to do and wish we had done it weeks ago, the faded red and terracotta were not that far apart to worry and mixed right in just fine.
Yes the previous owner had it to cool that garage as he liked to do stained glass work and left a few in 2 of the windows.
Finally got around to getting a few night shots of the pool, the wife realized I still had potting soil on the retaining walls but we're getting there.
Don? Is that REALLY a pic you took of your pool and view??? I hope you know just how lucky you are!!! Man that is like a picture out of a magazine!!!

sigh..............that is SO pretty!! Guess you have more than a phone camera at your use! Do you print them out and hang them?
Yes I print a lot and they're hung in my house and many more as I do art shows on the side to sell my photography.. Fun hobby..

Great photos! I’ll have to make it out to your next showing. Love those Milky Way shots.
Great Images Don!
Consider yourself blessed!!
BTW, do you have any left over 3/8 minus? I have a small area I need to prep for Turf.
Cheers!

Hmmm, I wonder what kind of bribe would be needed to get you to come down to Tucson when mine's finished...
