Is that Port Jefferson? Are you in Belle Terre?

Good eye! Although my neighborhood is technically harbor hills.

Yes, Bethel. They did a great job for us. When I heard they hit the line I said UGH! Never knowing it was a someone from TFP's. Well I'm glad it worked out. Pool and back yard look great. Best of luck and enjoy. You should be ready for a great summer!

Congrats.....looks great! I can't wait to see it full....I also picked that exact liner with no boarder

 

[darrylg]

Filled! I really like the color

 

[kimkats]

The color DOES look great! It will only get better as the water gets balanced!

Pool and liner look great! You have an awesome property. What are you doing around the pool?

Covering the pool & closing for the winter? Leaves in there need to go or else they'll leave tannin stains on your new liner. Oak leaves and acorns are not "pool/liner friendly". Maybe add some straw wattles around the pool perimeter to control erosion?

Thanks for the tip. The pump will be wired up this week. Then I need to let it run for about a week to get the water chemistry right, and check for leaks.
I'm thinking about just ordering a loop loc, and stake it into the ground for this season.

Our landscape plan is pretty elaborate and calls for a ton of hardsaping. I'm thinking next year we might just plant grass until the budget allows for the patio.

The electricians are coming tomorrow. Is there anything I should request? Anything you guys wish you had at your filter site? I'm probably just going to ask for a spare conduit.

A light over it for when you need to work on it on a dark and rainy night!

A pool code, spare GFCI outlet. Definitely the light like Kim says. And a margarita machine....everyone that owns a pool needs one.

Grey pool surfaces lead to awesome steel blue [emoji97]. Sweet!

 

[darrylg]

I think they did a pretty good job. Their basic "package" includes a sub panel with timer, receptacle for pump and spare GFCI, and breaker for pool lights, and pool light switch.

The SWG unit is on the left.

Spray paint the PVC pipes to match the color of the equipment. Pentair has their own special "Pentair Tan" and Hayward is a dark grey. It looks a lot more professional when the PVC is painted.
