The lines. The dots are the pebble I can give that a try

Water is looking fantastic, overnight levels are holding and cc is where it needs to be. Before I officially close out my slam I need to know if this is black Algae or not. These spots only appear on the sun shelf and no where else. Thanks for all of the help! Pools been filled for less then a...

Algae is only visible when I sweep. I don’t know if that counts as visible or not. The water clouds up a bit after a sweep each morning. Pre sweep the water is fairly clear.

So I am nearing the end of my slam I hope. Water is getting fairly clear , I only see Algee or dead algee when I brush the sun shelf. Cc is between .5-1.0 next test will use the more precise measuring method. Overnight loss seems to be in a good place levels went up overnight instead of...

We are picking out our deck. We have decided that it will be travertine. We have 2 choices sandblasted or honed. Really like the feel of the honed but worried about how slick it may become when it’s wet. Got some samples of sandblasted and they feel really gritty when you walk on the them...

The question is do you plan to have or want automation and do you want a heater. If the answer to those questions is yes. Get the spa . Most of the cost goes into those 2 items. The actual spa doesn’t add too much cost above those items. It also gives you a water feature from doing it to. So...

Depends on what is included. How much deck, what type of deck, tile options (glass or 6x6), and is propane included? I can tell you we are building a pool with 1550 sqft of travertine, a screen and its 10 feet smaller for about 20K less. One thing you need to consider is getting the 400K...

Just started with our dig. We were told at least 22 weeks. Pool builders are taking a beating right now trying to get supplies. Likely cause of the lengthy timeline

It would be pre fab non permeant, install. Probably a lot like what you are describing. Biggest fear is go to bed after a fire rains a bit over night and super stained deck in the morning.

So we are having and pool and screen enclosure built for us. We want to have a non permanent wood burning fire pit. It would be located on the deck, which will be travertine. I am wondering if a pit with drain holes will damage or discolor the deck if it were to rain in it. Would we need to take...

Thanks for the pictures. It helps to see a real install and not a crazy marketing video when they surround the waterfalls with fire bowls.

We currently have 2 18 inch sheer decent waterfalls in our pool design. Thinking about switching those out for some Color changing led waterfalls Led water falls Cost is not much more so we are wondering if these are worth it for adding extra light to the pool or more of a party trick.

In Orlando just signed a contract 455 sqft pool, 38sqft spa, 1250 soft of decking with some water features, sun shelf, roof extension, and screen came in at just under 90K that is with pebble interior , some glass tile, and upgraded automation. Before all of the upgrades we were in the mid 70...

I think color changing sheers. We considered Magic bowls but were a bit worried kids might try and do some crazy stuff with them sitting on deck level.

We are just about to start the build process. Some work stuff delayed us. We are going with color changing waterfalls. Fire Bowls sounded fantastic but each one, with out water was $2500 plus gas hookup and the need for a propane tank. If we wanted water they were $5000 each. Far too expensive...

Price seems like what would be expected. Keep in mind with the propane heater you will need to either rent or buy a propane tank plus pay separate for hookup. Most builders told us it is about a wash with the cost of an electric heater but be ready. Also need to think about cost of upgrades at...

What is the value of adding glass beads? We are putting stone scapes and wondering why you would add glass

Weber summit series might be the answer. They are super dependable long lasting frills.

Assuming that grass by the pool would be fake? If so be warned it gets crazy hot in Florida. Like unbearable to put your foot on durning the summer.

If the builder screwed up it is their liability to fix it. Those tiles are not just for looks they also provide safety elements. I would talk to your builder about your concerns and make sure they fix it for you.

We are in the process of finalizing a pool contract with a spa, in Orlando. Trying to figure out if we should put a gas or electric heater in. Big questions I have: If we put in a 400K gas heater with a 100 pound propane tank, how may hours of heating can we expect to get? What kind of a life...

For level 1 pebble finish from non pebble it was 6.50 per sqft Level 2 was 8.50 per sq foot I think level 3 was 10.50 or 12.50 so that seems high or they are giving you pricing to go from quartz to level 3 pebble

We are in the process of biding for a pool right now and our cost for automation using an RS8 is 3K above the base automation price, which is included in the spa price. Its not cheap but very nice to have. You basically never have to go out to the pad to do anything besides clean. I would say go...

It depends on where you live and what you want in your house/outdoor space. When we bought our home 5 years ago we could not find a house that met our needs with a pool. Every home with a pool was crammed into the lot with 0 entertainment space or room for expansion. So we bought a house with a...

WE took the approach of telling the builder the major things and non-negotiable items. So we told them we want a fairly large swim lane, freeform pool, over flow horse shoe shaped spa, large deck, screen, and as much automation as possible.. The spa was added after another builder did it and we...

Bump

So we have been meeting with pool builders like crazy and think we have settled and design and want some feedback on upgrades and finishes we have selected. The specs 34x16 pool with spa and screen enclosed. 1230 feet of concrete decking plus we have another 225 sqft of covered patio space...
