Adding a few more photos that show off how clear the pool is. Also, 2 months in to weekly service and I can add that Blue Water's weekly service program is excellent. Our pool is consistently crystal clear.

Phil and the team at Blue Water Pools are the ultimate experts when it comes to all things pool & spa and to a person the members of the team are phenomenal craftsmen. Blue Water Pools did a complete overhaul of our pool. This included replastering our pool with a pebble finish, adding new waterline tile, adding benches to the deep end, adding all new plumbing, all new lights, adding a new spillover spa, and upgrading all of our equipment including making the switch over to salt and adding automation. We couldn't be happier with the results and the work has provided a vast improvement to our backyard

Turned out beautifully- better than we envisioned-and I liked working with Phil. They were recommended by a couple of my friends who also had great experiences. Did exactly what we agreed upon And being a bit of an engineering geek, I had a pool builder friend who does very high end work in Los Angeles inspect the hydraulics and overall materials and workmanship; he said it was
