Getting quotes in Peoria AZ, new build

[Titan7]

So I moved a couple months ago from So. CA, put in a pool there back in 2016. Looking to do it again here.

So things I learned, it’s not cheaper here, lol. First quote was $86k for a relatively basic pool, surface area about 430 sf. No spa, 3-5ft 30x 12. With a 9x7 Baja shelf. much higher than back in 2016 in SoCA.

Questions
1. Q-360 in floor cleaning system and returns vs vac line and regular returns? $3600
2. Pure Blue Ozone system $1500
3. Heat pump vs heater, $7300

Of course limited access Means small equipment and $4400 more.

I was just gonna do pentair equip, with automation, SWG, cartridge filter.

thoughts on the items 1-3. They sell the heat pump for its ab to cool the water to like 85, otherwise it’s gonna be a big spa.

the fire pit and BBQ island and travertine decking are already here.

Pure Blue Ozone system $1500

7,

So, you have been a member of TFP since 2015 and you think having an Ozone system is ok???
Certainly not needed if you get a SWCG, which is really the only way to go, in my opinion.

I am not a fan of In Floor Cleaning Systems (IFCS) in general, but we have several member who are. If you get one, make sure you have the ability to turn it off or on as wanted. Some IFCS are plumbed in such a way that you have to use it just for normal pool sanitization.

A heat pump is like have an second air conditioning system on your house, cost wise.. Seems like a chiller would work well in AZ.

Thanks,

Jim R.

I know ozone was not a good thing in 2015, but times and technology changes, I have not kept up.

Well not sure a heater would get used much here, just thought the chiller option of the heat pump made sense?

You could try Tily Pools, or Dolphin as well. Not sure if you are up for it, but you could build that yourself for a whole lot cheaper than $83k. I am building a very similar pool as we speak, and I will be all in under $40k.

Stay away from Lakeside Pools. There are current horror stories going around with that specific company.

Might also consider going the owner build route and saving $$$$
