Wish I could help with the equipment. I don't have a heater and just took what they offered with the pool. I have a Jandy stealth pump, a nature 2 Fusion Soft salt chlorinator, and a simple polaris 280 vacuum robot. I really wouldn't recommend the polaris. It messes up all the time. the wheels get hung up and won't turn. I have to pull it out of the water and turn the wheels until it decides to start working on its own. I'll probably have to buy something else this summer. BTW, I still can't get in my pool because the water is still too cold. My friend's pool is warmer and they have already started using theirs. I have shade in my yard and she doesn't. I am drooling every time I look out the back door. I can't wait. The color you picked sounds good and I'm sure it will turn out great.

Betabound has another thermostat testing opportunity available, similar to the one posted here yesterday. They test tons of products (not just thermostats) on the site as well. Worth checking out if you want to try out a new thermostat for free! https://my.betabound.com/callout/?callid=1E6B16507CA24E9D878A3F0F9AD26128

Black rods mounted at ceiling height with rings for curtains. If you are having custom pleated curtains made, talk to the designer about stackback so that the curtains do clear the windows as much as possible.

UPDATE: The foreman came back with his lead plumber and another worker today. They removed the shower trim to check the valves from inside the shower and didn't see anything so they cut into the wall behind the shower to look at the pipes and valves. They found a leak from a loose connection between the pipes. (It was the pipe that goes to the handheld shower.) The plumber soldered the pipe. They are hoping that this is the fix to the leak. The team did not open the ceiling to look at the pan, drain, and plumbing since they found the leak in the other location. The foreman agreed to replace the ceiling though. I'm hopeful, but a couple of things seem odd. The leak happened after almost 6 months of use and the leak is not constant. It's only happened a few times even though we use the shower every day. Once we became aware of it, we noticed that it happens after the shower is turned off. Also, as I mentioned above, I noticed a wet area above the seam in the tiled shower entrance. Today, I noticed another wet area near the previous one and it I noticed it a couple of hours after the shower had been turned off (and after work had been done on the shower). Here are pictures of the plumbing and the new wet spot on the tile.
