Colour families
We hold no photograph of this finish on one of our own projects, so this page does not show one. Everything above is a colour family, not a picture of a material.
Circulation & filtration
Cartridge filter
Pleated cartridges that catch debris and get hosed off a few times a year. No backwashing at all, which in a county that prices water the way this one does is the argument that usually wins.
Essential cost band
The workhorse option. Does the job, lasts, and is what most of a yard is made of.
