Seems to me that the filter is on the small side.

Alright that should be big enough. Try to track the water meter before and after filling so you get a good number on what the pool volume really is - otherwise you may have some trouble getting the chemistry balanced until you figure this out.

Thought I would post the "almost" completed pictures of the pool. Have not been in it yet or even been down to FL yet. Have to wait until 12/9 and then perhaps use the spa.

Pool looks great, and what a great view you have behind the house.

It might be too late, but hand rails at the steps to both the pool and spa would be nice. At least, anchors for rails so that you could insert rails later. Even if you don't need them now, there might come a time when you would welcome them.

Was told by the builder who is also servicing the pool on an annual basis, that rails can be installed at any time down the road since the decking is pavers. Might post additional pictures when the painting is completed where the previous screening for the lanai was removed and the plantings from the landscaper is completed.
Thanks for the compliment.
Right now the only swimmers will be myself, wife and 2 golden retrievers.

Beautiful Pool. Really nice deck and water features. The screened in enclosure is great!
BTW - did you ever get a final measurement on the pools volume?

I guess if I ever move permently down, I will ask but as cheap as FL weekly pool maintence costs, I will probably keep a maintenace company full time forever.

Looks great, some tables and chairs and it will be gorgeous. Sand and pool....I seem to recall the pleasure in that as I look out at horrid freezing Dec rain. Great job
