    New inground: Solar cover reel question for kidney / mountain lake style pool

    Hey guys! I have a new inground pool and I need some advise on installing the solar cover. The pool is a humpback kidney or a mountain lake style pool. It is 41 feet in length 25 wide in shallow end and 18 feet wide in the deep end. I was thinking that I should use two solar covers and two...

    Can't decide on a liner...it's driving me mad! Opinions??

    Thanks for all the reply's! I ended up picking the greystone. Our PB has a video of a pool that he built and it was in greystone and I really liked the look so that sealed the deal for us. I hope we like it?! I would find it much easier picking out a color for a new vehicle than a pool...

    Can't decide on a liner...it's driving me mad! Opinions??

    Hi guys! Our concrete bottom has been poured on our new pool. The pool is 41x25x18, called a humpback haven from Megna pools (manufacturer). So we are stumped on a liner options. We like the turquoise (ish) look but we don't want it to be too light or clear in color. That said we do like the...

    New build in North Atlanta

    We are in the process of a build! I love your pool deck? Is it a certain type of patio stone or a tile? It looks great! Trying to decide on this now.

    One skimmers or two?? for new build

    Thanks for the reply! It's a funky liver shaped pool. I don't have many trees close to the pool but there are some on the edge of the property. $550 for the second skimmer...I need to decide soon. If its not really needed, I would rather spend the $550 somewhere else! Cheers

    New build Rockwall, TX

    The whole job looks amazing! We are about to break ground in a few weeks on a 41x25x18 similar to a mountain lake design. Can you tell me some of the details of your concrete deck? Is it acid washed? Do you know the color name and brand or any details like that? If you could post a good shot of...

    Pool Build - Baltimore

    Your project looks great! I have some questions about your fence. What brand is the black mesh that helps make up your fence? The fence boards are round in the middle and then square when it plugs in to the fence post? Any info on your fence would be appreciated...it looks great! Thanks! Matt

    My Pool - Houston TX

    Thanks! I'll keep that in mind down the road! This will be a new pool build starting in April. Thought about tinting the first 3 feet (bullnose) and continuing the concrete out or using pavers after the first three feet? Does tinted concrete fade?

    My Pool - Houston TX

    Love the pool! We are talking with a PB right now and I'm grabbing ideas such as the pool decking. So your concrete is acid etched and tinted? Do you know how many sq ft you have of decking other than the portion covered by the house? It looks great! We are looking at a 18x25x41 steel wall pool...

    What is the recommended size solar system for a 20x40 pool?

    Wow that is cool! Yes this sounds like a no brainer!!! I didn't think it was that easy? I thought you had to monitor the temp on your phone and then turn it on using your phone? Looking at a pool like yours? Were looking at a steel 18x41x25

    What is the recommended size solar system for a 20x40 pool?

    Thanks for the info! This did cross my mind! So you mean with a controller like a cell phone app? So you can turn it on and off when your away?

    What is the recommended size solar system for a 20x40 pool?

    Yes the plan is to go with a clear solar cover. I also think that my area would see sun 9+ hours a day in the summer months.

    What is the recommended size solar system for a 20x40 pool?

    We are in the Pacific Northwest near Seattle - Vancouver region. We have a lot of sun in the spot where the panels would go. We would just use the pool in the summer months and not in the spring or fall. Just hoping to get the pool as warm as possible in the summer but as cost effective as...
