    Just starting to refinish a 20+ year old pool - trying to decide on finishes - how has your finish held up over the years? - was that the Stonescape Mini Pebble Aqua White? Did you add Abalone to the finish? Does it still sparkle? Have heard so many different opinions on everything your feedback would be appreciated, thanking you in advance.

      Aqua Blue is also a color under the Stonescapes brand.
      It's called "Aqua White" because it uses White Pebble with no other colors of Pebble in the recipe.

    can you advise how much that cost? I am also looking at Aquawhite Stonescapes. 14X30 pool. Plese advise size of pool. I see video posted 6 years ago so it's probably doubled.

    The blue looks awesome! I've seen other images where this color looks much duller. Is it really that vibrant in real life, or is that a result of how these phone cameras saturate everything? I take photos of subdued blue pools, and they come out like this. We want vibrant blue, but not dark. Teetering between aqua white and aqua blue, like seemingly EVERYONE!

    You’re pool looks awesome. I’m in the process of designing my pool. It’s going to be 15x28. Trying to decide on sun-shelf size. What size is your sun-shelf? It seems like a great size. Trying to decide between CLI aqua white and aqua pearl. Have you seen the difference in the two Colors in person?

    • @JimmyEpolito
      @JimmyEpolito  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Donya. My sunshelf is 12ft x 8ft. It starts 3 feet into the pool deck and pushes out 5ft into the pool. My pool is also 15ft wide and it seems like a perfect distance. Many people bring the sun shelf further into the pool deck to take up less space in the pool but this design allowed me to place steps on each side of the shelf and my kids love playing in them. I have not seen Aqua Pearl in person but I found it online through CL Industries. Looks like it would produce a nice water color. Has a bit more brown and more white than Aqua White. Despite the name aqua white has mostly blue as the base color. Hope this helps.

    • @JimmyEpolito
      @JimmyEpolito  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @ruthlessluder
    @ruthlessluder 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My pool has a similar shape as yours and I'm going to go with Aqua White as well. I'm debating if I should put in step tiles. I like the clean look of no tiles but also wonder if tiles increase safety. I see you have no tiles on your steps. Do you have any issues with mis-steps and do you regret not getting step tiles? Thanks very nice house BTW.

    • @JimmyEpolito
      @JimmyEpolito  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you for the compliment. I considered putting tiles on the steps and benches but I am glad I did not. I put them on the edge of the sun shelf for aesthetic reasons. I have not had any mis-steps or issues. The steps are very visible as well as the benches on each side of the pool. Good luck on your build and hope we get to see it when finished!!

    Hi Jimmy.
    So happy you made this video. I was finding the selection of pool color very stressful. The NPT color selection book is not helpful at all. I see no reference to abalone shell is it called somithing else ? very confusing and doesn’t show an end result to all colors. Have you noticed the shells or pebbles coming out. Which waterline tile did you use ? I didn’t want to use the traditional blue glass mosaics.
    I was considering of doing a white mother of pearl glass pool tile. Any thoughts if would impede the finished color or compliment the abalone shell ? Was hoping to end up with a soft powder baby blue
    Tranquil color. But it seems no one can tell me how to accomplish that.

    • @JimmyEpolito
      @JimmyEpolito  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You're welcome! I do not know of another name for the abalone shell. You could check with a local pool builder. I do not have any issues with loose pebble or shells. For the final water color it is tough to predict because there is much more to it than just the surface of the pool. The surrounding environment matters a lot. I think the water line you are mentioning could enhance it nicely., I used a tile called Martinique. Good Luck!

  • @tigertran01
    @tigertran01 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the video Jimmy! We're also going with Stonescapes Aqua White w/abalone. You mentioned that you scrubbed it for 2 weeks after the plaster was applied. I'm assuming this was after it was filled? Did you use any special brush? Did you scrub everywhere (walls and bottom)? Beautiful pool!

    Hey Jimmy--just wanted to say THANKS for uploading your video of the NPT Aqua White pool finish! I know that it has been a few years, but know that it is still being a valuable resource for those who are building/refinishing their pools today. The video quality is excellent, and gives a very good feel for the water color generated by this surface. As you probably still know, there are not many accessible photos/ videos of the AW pool finish around, so it really helped us to settle on a new pool color. Gracias!!

    Hi Jimmy,
    We just had the Mini Pebble Aqua White installed based on how great it looked in your video. Resurface finished 2 days ago, acid wash yesterday, and fill complete late last night. Did you notice the water color change over the first month after resurfacing? Right now the water has more of a blue/green hue and was just wondering if you noticed the same thing initially. Did the water color take a while to settle in to its current and final color for you?

    • @JimmyEpolito
      @JimmyEpolito  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey David, I did not have any green tint at all. Someone else commented the same thing. I am wondering if your surroundings have influenced the green. My waterline tile and the wall on the hot tub are blue. I also added Abolone Shell into the mix to add some sparkle. I would ask your installer. I also brushed mine 2 times per day for the first 2 weeks and it brightened it up a bit.

We almost choose Aqua Cool for a light blue but it's on the light side. Gonna go with Aqua White and of course add abalone shells but skip the glass beads. Also adding seat and step markers for safety reasons just in case plus they're pretty tiles. We should have it finished in about a week.

    Question, looking at your sun exposure, it appears you get alot of direct sun all day. My pool gets sun from 10AM to end of day, all across the south from east to west. I have had a summer or two that it got pretty warm in the pool in the Texas heat. I am debating between Aqua White and Aqua Cool. Do you experience more heat absorption from the aqua blue? I would never do a grey or black plaster, since it would just boil during the summer. I get ALOT of sun.

    Don’t be fooled by the “mini pebble isn’t as rough as the regular”. It absolutely is equally as rough.

I have had the hardest time picking a color. I want a true blue (No green or grey) with a medium tone. Do you think this fits the bill? Sometimes it's hard with video to truly see the true color.

    • @JimmyEpolito
      @JimmyEpolito  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Angela! It truly is very difficult to find good images to help with the decision. I was torn between Aqua White and Aqua Blue but it boiled down to the fact that Aqua Blue is very similar but contained a lot more brown and black pebbles which I did not want. I was shooting the exact same look you just mentioned and got it. I wanted the water to look refreshing and inviting. When I am outside and the sun is overhead it is hard not to jump in! Keep in mind that your surroundings also play a huge part in the color of your water. The waterline tile, the pool deck, the landscaping, the positioning of the sun, etc. The abalone shell was also a big win. They really cause the water to sparkle on the surface. Let me know if I can help you further!

      integratomr2 hey there, I am 100% satisfied with the stonescapes Aqua white. My pool is finished in October of 2017 so I believe it has fully cured by now and it looks great. I get a lot of compliments on it from those who visit. I went with the mini pebble and I had them add the abalone shell which gives it a really good Sparkle. I hope this helps good luck on your build
