Here is Another DFW Build

P,

I'd take a large cartridge filter any day of the week over a DE filter.. I have both and when my DE filters finally go bad, I'm replacing them with cartridge filters.

Loving the valves they used! What is that pipe that goes up beside the one with a cap on it?

Although I’m going with a robot, I had them plumb a line and run power for a booster just in case. If I ever want to run a pressure side cleaner, adding should be fairly easy in the future.

Smart!!

A large cartridge is my personal choice. Best and easiest maintenence wise. Clean once or twice a year easy to do

P,

I did not notice the valves until Kim pointed them out.. What kind are they? I have never seen them before.. I am sure they will work just fine, just different. Will a standard actuator fit? I assume so...

Thanks,

Jim R.

Alrighty! The coping and tile are complete. I’m so ready for a deck.

We love it, and can’t wait until the pool is complete!

Looking good, and oddly familiar

Have they done all of the electrical and bonding yet? If so, you are to the point I was getting frustrated. We had to have 3 separate inspections for the p-trap, electrical, then bonding. They all had to be on separate days and our bonding had to be after the paver base was installed, so a lot of starting and stopping.

Once you get through those, you are in the home stretch.

What is that pvc sticking up on the other side of the coping to the left of your deep end?

The plumbing and electrical are complete. I’m not sure about the bonding inspection. I’ll have to ask the builder. As of late last week, they were expecting to get the deck started this week.

It’s the skimmer. Here is another angle:

LOL I was about to say that it looks pretty familiar...

 

[masterofnone48]

Looks really nice! It makes me excited to start mine!

 

[Prosperjl]

Progress has been a bit slow, but they have the deck laid out and covered patio posts set.

How much dirt did they have to bring in?? Glad they got that done. When do you think they will pour?
