Raised walls on new pool not fully tiled.

[cmrusnak]

Is it "standard" in the industry to only tile the front side of raised walls? After being given 3D drawings showing both sides of my raised walls with tile - my PB is now telling me that it is not standard to tile the back side of raised walls and that is not what I was sold.

"Standard" for things like that is local,, not national. You could try registering at one of the larger forums, like Trouble Free Pools, but your chances of getting a knowledgeable and reliable answer to a question like this is poor. The problem is that it IS likely that you WILL get answers, just not ones that are trustworthy local answers.

A better approach: ask your builder to show you a couple of other pools that were built that way. If he can't or won't . . . that's not proof, but it's good enough reason to be suspicious, investigate more, and explore your options for recourse.
