Hi, and thank you for your kind comments. The inside of this pool is actually an exposed-aggregate pool finish. The only tile is the 6" x 6" around the perimeter of the pool. The sun can make some beautiful reflections on the water even without ceramics!

oh dear, my pool is inside so I guess this exposed aggregate finish would not work. It is so beautiful though.....Is there anything you could recommend?

Sure. There is no reason why an exposed aggregate pool finish wouldn't work on an inside pool. If your concern is that you wouldn't get brilliant reflection, then this can be addressed with a lighting professional to ensure that the water has excellent reflectivity. Additionally, you can add brilliance to a pool finish by changing or augmenting the aggregate to something that would accentuate the environment, such as glass beads. You should talk to your swimming pool professional and lighting expert on these matters, and hopefully you will be able to achieve the look that you desire.

wow what great advice. Thanks so much.

you are very right thanks so much for reminding me

Do u have a deep end in this pool? Also, at what depth did u place in ground basket ball hoop? Do u have slopes with gradual drop off? Beautiful pool.

This pool starts at 3'6" deep and slopes to 8'0" deep. We do adhere to the national standards for shallow and deep end slopes. The shallow end slopes gradually (does not exceed 1 foot vertical for every 7 feet horizontal) to accommodate volleyball, basketball, and other activities that are much easier in shallower water. The deep end slope does break slightly more aggressively (does not exceed 1 foot vertical for every 3 feet horizontal). The basketball hoop is generally placed in an area that is generally flat and shallow to facilitate game play. Thank you for your kind comments!

The tile brightens the pool up nicely!

Thanks again, centralprk3b!

What tile color was used?

Hello, and thank you for your inquiry @fttcollier. The tile utilized on this project is from Noble Tile. On the swimming pool, the color is called "Gothic Blue". On the hot tub, the color is "Titanium Dark Blue".
