Aqua Blue Stonescapes Mini Pebble color - interior pool finish

[@TulsaPoolBoys]

That really does look beautiful

[@MrRenogue]

Thanks a lot for the video. We were undecided just like you and we’re so glad we found your video and with the results

[@79bnice]

Wow, this and aqua white are very close in looks and very nice looking.

[@ruthiescabana3155]

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.

[@twinklemarsh]

Love the color, we are trying to decide now. This was super helpful!

[@ruthiescabana3155]

Wonderful, best of luck!!

[@ruthiescabana3155]

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

[@sc1881]

Great video, very informative and the pool is Beautiful!!

[@ruthiescabana3155]

Thank you!!

I watched the same video he put up, right now my pool is getting close for the pebble Tec finish. I went with blue surf, but my grandkids picked a whole bunch of Mosaics for the bottom of the pool and I don't think you can see the Mosaics that good in blue surf. I'm thinking of going to the pool company tomorrow and changing to aqua white. I am in Phoenix Arizona so I will be getting plenty of blue skies. I didn't think the color of the pool would be stressing me out as much as it is. I'll be happy when it's done so I can't keep changing my mind. The color you went with is also pretty nice.

[@ruthiescabana3155]

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!

[@derbygirle66]

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

[@patd4u2]

@@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.

Thank you! This was so helpful! :)

[@juliagonzales-manton1412]

Gorgeous color! We are currently trying to decide between Aqua blue and Caribbean blue.

[@ruthiescabana3155]

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

[@jessicaedelberg7722]

Thank you for the great video! We've just selected aqua blue also. What is your glass waterline tile?

[@ruthiescabana3155]

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

[@shawncarter6053]

Love the color !!!!! We are getting ready to start our build. I was just wondering the depth of your tanning ledge ????? Thanks

[@ruthiescabana3155]

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

[@jennifersmith7603]

Love it, I am rying to pick now bewteen the aqua blue and aqua white. I also love the glass waterline tile , can you tell me what color and brand it is ?

[@ruthiescabana3155]

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!

[@jaimebracero3887]

Thanks for the video. I noticed you have a small step on to your sunshelf, How deep is it with regards to the water level?

[@Clippers805]

Thank you for the video. Is the finish smooth? Any issues with scratching your toes or knees? Thank you

[@ruthiescabana3155]

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 3 full 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. No scratches! Hope that helps :-)

[@sldarb1]

@@ruthiescabana3155 Is there still no issue to date?

[@ruthiescabana3155]

@@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 :-)

[@jessicacalvano8949]

hi! love love love this pool. so what glass tiles did you use? i think it fits perfectly!

[@donnamarievalles3961]

Hello :) thank you so much for the video. Does your tile have like an omni white? We are thinking to do the same with 1 bag of colbalt glass in mix. Also you said 15x30 if you dont mind how many lights do you have? we are thinking 4 Globrites

[@ruthiescabana3155]

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 :-)

[@suziesims6984]

Trying to decide on mini pebble color and also decided to go with the Aqua Blue. I love your tile selection and you said it was the sky blue blend. On NPT they the only sky blue blend offered in glass tile is the opal collection sky blue blend. Is this the same tile you have? Currently they do not show it in the 1”x2” tile.

[@ruthiescabana3155]

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!

[@MarissaF-b4v]

How many bags did you do? We have a choice of 1,2, or three bags. We also have a choice of Puerto Rican blend and or touch of glass.

[@zacdavis7]

I went with aqua blue mini pebble and the tanning ledge looks great, it’s blue but the rest of the pool a has teal green tint. It’s only been a few days since install but I hope it looks as blue as yours soon or I’m getting back with pool contractor because it really is on the green side and it’s depressing.

[@ruthiescabana3155]

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

[@jprado1123]

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.

[@zacdavis7]

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

[@jprado1123]

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

[@yasminumani1273]

Hi there - thank you for posting this. Have you had any issues with your glass tile - chipping or cracking? Do you recall the name of the tile? Thank you!

[@ruthiescabana3155]

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!

[@yasminumani1273]

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!

[@ruthiescabana3155]

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

[@rogerdanao4827]

Hello, your pool is beautiful. Did you add glass to the mini pebble?

[@ruthiescabana3155]

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.

[@JoseValdez-iz1ic]

What’s the Color name of the glass tile u put looks good I want to see if I can find local in Bay Area

[@ruthiescabana3155]

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

[@hhinvest2819]

Is the glass tile by the water line more expensive

[@ruthiescabana3155]

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!

[@SPINDORK]

What color was tour glass tile?

[@brucebenner8314]

what color of grout did you pick Ms. Cabana?

[@ruthiescabana3155]

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.
