That was the first Kickstarter. The most recent one (and the one described in the story regarding $300k raised, etc.), is here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/694835844/pool-tile-by-...

It looks like the first Kickstarter was to find and test an adequate filtration system, and the second is to build a "float lab" test pool. If that succeeds they'll probably have to launch yet another Kickstarter asking for funding of over a million to build the final product.

The article says they raised $300k, but this kickstarter only says $50k. Any ideas where the discrepancy comes from?

That was the first kickstarter; they then ran a second one for the next phase of the project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/694835844/pool-tile-by-...

The Kickstarter ended in 2011, and their web site at http://www.pluspool.org/ has options to buy tiles. It looks like they've pursued other fundraising options after Kickstarter.
