Nice project! Pools have many uses and would be ideal for the WaterRipper and RipperSkip games.

Try the WaterRipper and some RipperBall.com Sports is your client pools. - www.Ripperball.com

This is one of the most amazing pools I've seen.! Are the edges rounded? Did you use the bullnose 3X12 tiles as well? Did you use a different tile for the waterline?

We are now using Wet Edge products. Either Luna Quartz, or Primera Stone for an upgraded finish. They have several dealers in California. Their website is wetedgetechnologies.com. You can go to the website and it will provide a list of dealers. Good Luck!

Pool - First I would like to say this pool is beautiful! I have a few questions I was hoping you could answer. I am looking for a black tile to use for a raised spill over spa and a pool with an infinity edge at the end of pool. -how was the raised perimeter edge on pool achieved with this tile? Did you use bullnose trim piece or does the top tile meet the verticle tile to create th edge? Did you use and epoxy grout in black? -has there been any issues with chemicals or salt water with the tile? Thank you in advance for any guidance you can give me!

Thank you! The tile on this project came from
DalTile. It is a 12x24 tile with a bullnose, finished edge, set with
black epoxy grout. We utilize an Ozonator on our pools (rather than a
saline system), which helps reduce the amount of chemicals in the water, but
with dark tile, especially, care must be taken, to keep the tile clean.

One size does not fit all! We advise consulting with a custom pool cover specialist.

The pool water flows into a hidden trough, under the Mexican beach pebble. That trough, then empties into an underground surge tank, for recycling into the pool filtration system.

Spillover edge - Hi - love your spillover edge. Is that a marble edge, or some other material? I am being told this is unbelievably expensive to do, any chance you can give me some guidance on that? Thanks very much.

Thank you! The edges are tile, not marble. Perimeter overflows do require a skilled contractor as the finish of the edge has to be perfectly level in order to create the clean, crisp overspill. This project was in the 120K range. I hope this helps!

To what do you attribute the nice reflection in the pool . . . What is the depth? What is the material?

Generally speaking, the darker the appearance of the water, the better the reflective quality of the vessel. This pool has a DiamondBrite interior surface that is almost black, giving us a great reflection of its’ surroundings. Additionally, you want the water to be a calm and glass-like as possible. So, if your desire is to have a reflecting pool, you should stay away from any fountains, waterfalls, etc., to keep the reflection sharp!

Zero Edge Trough - Hi PE, Inc...Did you use a steel grate or similar to hold the rock/pebble at the surface and then tile or plaster the inside of the trough? Or does the rock/pebble fill up your entire trough with plaster or waterproof material applied at the inside of the trough?
