Zac Don’t be discouraged!! I remember thinking that at first too. You have to give it a few days but the most important thing is to make sure all of the debris is cleared out and also be sure to check PH and chemical levels (chlorine and phosphates levels). Make sure you run the pump long enough also. Turn the water over once a day. All these things should help. It should turn into a nice blue! Hang in there

Hi Zac, have you had any luck getting rid of the green tint? They're supposed to be installing Aqua Blue mini pebble in my pool and I'm concerned about having any green tint. I definitely would like a blue finish. Thanks for your help.

@@jprado1123 yes they added some numeric acid and chlorine to balance the water and it is perfect blue color now. We love it

@@zacdavis7 that's great news, glad it worked out and makes me feel better about our decision :)

Hi! We haven’t had any issues with chipping or cracking. We installed a year ago, so far so good. I can’t recall the name of the tile but I believe I did post the name in the comments section. It is from NPT and it’s a blue blend. I’m sure you’ll love what you choose! Best of luck!

Thanks! One more question for you - does your shallow end start at 3ft? You pointed out the section for your kids, is that roughly 3-3.5ft initially? Thanks again!

@@yasminumani1273 Yes, it begins at 3 feet, then it’s 4 feet in middle and 5 feet at the end.

Yes, glass tiles are a little pricier than the basic ceramic tiles. If you can afford the little extra cost it’s worth it, it gives the pool a nicer appeal. Best of luck!

I’m sure you will love whatever you pick! We still love our Aqua Blue 💙

You’ll love Aqua Blue! I don’t believe ours was in the opal collection. I do recall that it was the sky blue blend. NPT could have different brochures/packets or maybe changed their products. Best of luck!

It is by NPT and I believe it’s in the blue blend.

I love Jimmy’s pool, and he seems like a nice guy. Yes, it can be stressful selecting the color and materials. One thing I finally accepted to not lose sleep over it is no matter what choices you make, it will still look awesome! It will be more than than what your backyard was before and everyone will have fun!

how do you like your Blue Surf? It is a contender for my soon to happen refinish. Thx

@@derbygirle66 I went with the blue surf and I am happy with the choice, The blue sky and plants around the pool make it look really nice. I have some KZbin videos on my channel that I uploaded of my pool.

You can’t go wrong with either color. In person, our water is more blue than aqua. The waterline tile is a glass tile blend called, Sky Blue Blend. I know NPT (national pool tile) carries it. Best of luck!

It is smooth with texture, if that makes sense. The first few days my kids did get minor scratches on fingers and bottoms of feet. I was concerned at first. So we brushed more and have a vacuum running at the bottom. It may have been debris at the bottom from all the construction work. You’ll see a lot of debris when you’re cleaning it the first few days. So maybe wait a few days, if you can contain the excitement. But not a single problem since! We’ve been using it for months now and not one of my kids has gotten any more scrapes! One of my kids didn’t want to take chances and was always wearing water shoes. She eventually forgot to put them on and has gotten in without them.

@@ruthiescabana3155 that's great to hear. I'm getting mine done now with that same finish.

What color are your pop outs ? They blend in so well they almost look invisible.

Thank you, we did not add any glass to the mini pebble. However the tile is glass tile and has all those brilliant colors that help to reflect that glassy effect.

We requested white grout in order for the color of the tile to pop and show through more brilliantly. We wanted the tile to be the star of the show.

Hi, our tile has no white. It’s all blue hues. We only have two lights in the entire pool and one light in the spa. It’s enough to illuminate. But if you like to swim at night you may consider more lights. I hope this helps :-)

Wonderful, best of luck!!

It is 15 x 30. Starts at 3 feet, 4 feet in the middle and 5 feet at the end.

Thank you!!

@@ruthiescabana3155 Thank you for your response! Very helpful.

Glad it helped! Enjoy it :-)

@@ruthiescabana3155 Is there still no issue to date?

@@sldarb1 No issues to date. The kids have been fine, no injuries. In general it is a rougher (yet smooth) finish. I just asked 2 of my kids again to make sure, since as adults were more careful. They said they haven’t had had a problem since the first initial week which I mentioned above was due to debris. My boy even said he has scraped his knuckles at the bottom and it doesn’t hurt. Hope that helps :-)

Thanks! The waterline tile is a glass tile blend called, Sky Blue Blend. I know NPT (national pool tile) carries it. Good luck!

Thanks! The video just does not do the color justice. It’s much more beautiful in person. I will try to make another video when it’s sunnier and less windy.

Thank you! From the bottom up to the waterline it’s 18 inches of water. Hope that helps!!
