Re: New St. Louis Pool
thanks, they are finishing the deck today, cleaning the pool tomorrow and Pebblesheen on Wednesday. I called a company to fill it from the hydrant on Thursday and it should be ready for the weekend!

Re: New St. Louis Pool
I'll update with Pebble Sheen pictures tonight, they are working on it now... looks awesome!
I have a water hauling company that is going to tap into the fire hydrant on my street, anyone have any thoughts or experience with this? PB said the water might be cloudy, should i have them run the hydrant for 15 minutes and let it "clean out"?

You must be so excited! Awesome pool!
BTW, I did not kill your father, but I am prepared to die! I loved that movie when I was younger, and I have enjoyed watching it with the next generation!
The water guys should have some experience w/ this. Most of the "junk" in the lines should flush out pretty quick. I wouldn't worry about it, too much.

Re: New St. Louis Pool
We are very excited this hasn't been the easiest project and finally we'll be able to swim!
That movie kills me it's so funny! "I do not think it means what you think it means"

Haha, I'm actually traveling for work which really sucks bc my wife was sending pics all day! I'll try and upload a few more!
Beautiful!!! I didn't know that companies were allowed to tap into fire hydrants! GIves me ideas to find out if they do that here!
The pool looks great, hopefully the rain we've been getting didn't affect you guys. We had 7 inches in 2 days.
Even homeowners can tap into a hydrant in some areas of the country. Call the fire department or water department, they will rent you a meter and when you ring it back you pay the water rate for what you used.

The water hauling was fantastic, filled it fast and they charged me roughly what my water bill would have been.
Our landscaping is finished tomorrow, so I'll update with a bunch of pictures. Unfortunately I am coming here for some advice.
We received a huge and unexpected final invoice that I am contesting at least half of, as well they gave us a Rheem heat cool pump instead of the contract Pentair. Any advice on which unit is better? I'll look up the Rheem unit number they gave us. The Pentair is a 120 R H/C UltraTemp. Also any advice for fighting numbers that were never given or agreed to is appreciated.

The Tampa area doesn't allow us to tap into fire hydrants 
and water trucked in is $400 per 6000G SO looks like I will be using the hose!
