DiamondBrite Tahoe Blue

12 years ago

Is there anyone in Ft Bend Co, TX that will show me their pool with DB Tahoe Blue? I'm torn between Super Blue and Tahoe Blue. I'm concerned that the blue color of Tahoe Blue might look unnatural, like blue paint. My PB showed me a pool with Super Blue but has none to show me with the Tahoe Blue. I've got about 3-4 days til plaster. Your sharing with me will be greatly appreciated and DH and I will be at your place a few minutes and will be gone fast!

Here's some pic's of a waterfall/slide pool/spa with an outdoor fireplace that has tahoe blue D-brite

To be completely honest with you I'm not a big fan of either of these D-brite colors.
The tahoe blue color looks to fake to me and gives the color look of a bottle of windex in the kitchen window on a sunny day, It is also VERY SENSITIVE to poor water chemistry and will show discoloration rapidly in these conditions.
The super blue is just to busy for me, that comes from lots quartz aggregate in the mix. However it does much better in longevity with poor water chemistry.
Here's some pic's of a super blue pool/spa with a rased spa and back wall with sconces.

Congrats on your new pool!!!

See ya,
Kelly

Bossyvossy...I think you would like Tahoe Blue better. It's a richer look

Ladies, thank you so much for your input. We got lucky on Sunday and got to see a couple of pools with Tahoe Blue plaster. We are comfortable with this selection though I totally agree that it can look like a bottle of windex by the window, LOL. Things are going well the 2nd time around with our pool rebuild, I will post pics later. Husband is quite disciplined about pool chemicals so don't think that will be an issue.

Sounds like you're all set, but I thought I'd throw these in here in case anyone else is looking for pictures of Tahoe Blue DB. There aren't a lot of pictures out there, so this might be helpful in the future. (BTW, I don't think ours looks like Windex -- ours appears quite a bit lighter than Kelly's and more along the lines of womanowned's):

jmpeterson, you have a big pool, very nice! I love your Tahoe blue color. I'm wondering if Kellys color looks darker because of clouds or time of day.

My pool area gets brutal sun all day long so I'm hoping I'll get a crystalline blue color like yours. thanks for posting.
