So we are trying to figure out what we want to do with our pool. Tahoe Blue looks grey when outside the pool and looks pretty dark when in the pool. We aren't sure how it will look at night with lights on. Does anyone have this in their pool?

Thanks. Figured if you used them you would know it was a pool builder, but I guess I should have been more specific. Who did you get quotes from and who are you using. We got quotes from 4 PBs and All Seasons was the cheapest and more knowledgeable one. One seemed to also know what he was...

Thanks. I didn't dig into looking at the individual kits that much. I just was starting to read the stuff on here and saw they recommended 3 kits. When we get closer to build and finishing I will research and order one of the kits.

Sounds like in Texas it may not work as well as it will here in Florida. We have higher humidity in Florida and I don't think our nights get as cold in the winter. We do not have a lot of natural gas neighborhoods in central Florida, so that also may be the reason people go more with heat...

Why is a heat pump not the best? That is what we are thinking about doing for heating our pool/spa. Is it the chill part that makes it not good or heat pump in general?

Yes, we were told when spa mode is on (we will do this via our smart phone) it would not over flow. However, we probably will only do that a couple times a week. So most of the time we will have it circulating with the pool. So I would think an ozonator would not be cost effective for us. Or...

Thanks guys. Talked to husband and read off what you guys said and we are going to remove this from our proposal. We are trying to stay under 50k and removing this should help us since we seem to keep making the pool larger and larger :) Trying to only put equipment in we need. On a side...

Thanks. We will have a spa, but I don't think it is going thru any different filters/systems. It will overflow into the pool when we have that part turned on. Do you think we should keep it in the proposal because of that? I don't think there is a way to put it only on that. I think we will...

We are going to be building a SWG pool. Is the ClearO3 recommended by this forum or is this something not needed. We had it in our last pool, but we also had a chlorine feeder. So I know it goes against a lot of what is on here. We did struggle with chemistry at times, so thinking about...

Thanks. This is helpful. Since all the PBs we talked to one except 1 uses Jandy, we are stuck with Jandy. But this will help us compare products within Jandy like the different SWGs.

Looking for opinions on them. The two people who had them done recently around us seem to like them, but wanted to get some other opinions if anyone on here has used them.

Gotcha, so they don't have the chiller part. Yes, I didn't know this was an option until now and I do think this is something I want to talk to our PB about. I agree, in Florida the pools get too hot at times. We are looking at Jandy equipment as that is what our PB uses.

Do you know what they have now in the way of heating (or none) and why they wish they would have gone with a heat pump?

Wow Randy! Thank you so much. This is the information I am looking for. We probably live in similar climates. Our pool will probably be around 13,000 gallons so also not that far off. But we are looking at 140k BTU Jandy Heater, so I am thinking the extra BTU should make up for the extra...

Trying to figure out if we should go thru the trouble of burying a propane tank to do gas for our pool/spa. We are looking to heat the pool in the winter for weekends that are in the 80s. So let's say the temps have been in the high 60s to mid 70s and the upcoming weekend is in the 80s. We...
