Hello all, our pool build has officially started. This forum has been such a tremendous help I don’t know how I ever would have done this without it! This is our first “REAL” pool. I’ve put up a few smaller above ground pools over the years to get my feet wet (pun intended) and learn pool...

Anyone have the Pentair ColorCascade LED bubblers in 12"+ of water? The specs call for depths of 2-10". Was planning on doing my sun shelf at 12" deep with a bubbler or 2. Not sure it will be worth it if I'm too deep.

All, I have been extremely busy at the office and with business travel so have been unable to start my pool build thread. Plan to get to it tonight (I hope), with lots of pics. I just hit a point where they've framed skimmers in a location I felt was not optimal. Before they start plumbing...

Hello all, snow season is ending here in New England. We had a rough winter so we're really looking forward to spring/summer. We're hoping to start our pool project as soon as the yard is dry enough for heavy equipment. I've spent a lot of time interviewing multiple pool builders and think...

Hello all, we have been contemplating an in-ground pool for quite some time and are almost ready to commit. Our desire was to have a 20x40 gunite pool with elevated spa. It would be nice to use the spa in the winter months as there are way too many freezing cold months in New England...
