Bumping this to active.

Thank you so much Illuminide Interiors. Really appreciate your advice. We did go with the cuban and once the grouting was done, it literally popped. I couldn't believe it.. Have attached a picture. Still a way to go with pebbling etc and the water!! Thank you again for your thoughts.. Best wishes to you..

We have Paramount in floor pool cleaner with hedge/plants around pool. Infloor pool cleaner is awesome. I vacuum pool 2-3 times a year.

Is this waterline tile the "Luna" tile that you are thinking of? It is more a creamy beige colour? Looks good to me. I have clients who used a pure white pool tile, which is much lighter and brighter than your Luna and the pool looks fantastic and a beautiful blue, so I would not have any concerns with using Luna as a waterline tile.
