    New O/B build in Las Vegas

    This is a LARGE pool and will be fun to follow! The only thing that catches my eye is the 7 lights. My pool is right under 20k gallons and I have 5 lights, with a pool your size I would definitely add 3 lights on the back side so you have full coverage and no dark spots. Trust me when I tell you...

    Owner Build NW Las Vegas. ... Quartz installed ... Build completed

    Congrats on the build, everything looks great! I would, I will say I was concerned during my build about my water getting to hot but I have yet to have it over 86 degrees . Sometimes I even heat it a little in the summer to get it to 85 degrees because my pool will hover around 80-82 degrees.

    Is this reasonably priced? New pool in Vegas

    Sorry for the delay, we switched out a few blue bags for some black bags and eliminated any brown colors and that gave us the darker blue. Also the tiles for the steps were glass and I can’t quite remember the name but it’s definitely in my thread. Feel free to message me for more details

    Man joyful hindsight is 20/20 lol. In the last 3 years my wife and I have used the spa under 10 times ,however I will say it has provided a nice area for smaller kids to get in the pool and has been dubbed a special baby sitter lol. And with a cover the rectangle is the best way to go AND it’s...

    We all start here to get there - LV New IG Build

    So I agree with a SWG first! My neighbor had a puck feeder and I just had to help him turn his off and now he is replacing with SWG and his cya is already over 120 and his pool is under a year old :/ Second you have to remember the kids keep getting bigger so 4ft is not that deep plus your pool...

    Thanks!! I got fantastic neighbors but they did make a lot of nice comments on the space and how we used it. I must say I also have the neatest neighbors because the only thing left to clean up was 3 soda cans so I can’t complain

    Do you dip for each test OR fill a jar and do tests with a single container of pool w

    I also use the free bottle Leslie pool store will give you if you tell them you want to bring in water to test. Once they give me the free bottle I never return to the store ever again hahahaha
