Parallelogram Sport style pool
32’ x 16’
Depth: 3.5’ – 5.5’ – 3.5’
500 something Sq Ft
15,000 Gal (guestimate)
Tanning ledge, full length steps at one end, love seat, swim out at far end

Details:
• Hayward 1 1/2 hp Super II pump
• Hayward Cartridge Filter C17502(S)
• Hayward TC-15 Salt Gen.
• Polaris 360 vaccum
• Easy Touch Wireless control with Remote
• One bubbler/fountain, four returns
• Hayward Multi-color LED Pool Light
• Single Skimmer
• Shot-Crete
• Krystal Krete black pepper finish
• 1000 Sq Ft Decking – Pavers (2nds I picked up from a local mfg. at about $1/ft and installed myself)
• Travertine Coping

We were rather stymied by a ton of rain in late August, early September which delayed digging by about four weeks. Our water table is a whopping 2.5-3 feet from the surface. The house has been here since the 1920's and apparently someone decided to use the yard as their own personal dump at some point. Found medicine bottles, rusted pipe pliers and assorted junk during the dig.

We were able to get the water temp. up to over 90 degrees in a couple of days using a solar blanket. Since then, the night temp. has dropped and it's more like 86 degrees. It's rained this weekend, so I'm taking time to post.

First time I've seen that! Might as well try it I guess; how many chances does one get?

Looks great! What pool builder did you use? I'm from Saint Pete and just signed with Tri-County pools!

Larsen's Pool and Spa in Oldsmar, FL. They're about a mile from my house and I've been happy with them. In fact, I gotta get around to writing a thank-you.
