Thanks for the suggestions!

Hi! We are days away from plaster and need to order a test kit. The builder will be maintaining the pool for the first 30 days, but we'd still like to get a head start on testing and understanding the chemistry. Based on what I've read, the TF-100 seems like the best option for a new pool...

I'm also in Fort Lauderdale - we have a regular fence as well, but were required by code to either install a baby fence, or loud alarms on every door and window. The alarms were the cheaper option, and could certainly be disabled after the fact if you didn't have children. Not sure if Miami...

His explanation is that it would require a separate transformer and switch, I honestly don't know much (or anything) about electricity - so not really sure if that makes sense. Basically, everything throughout this entire build has been an upcharge. Very frustrating, but hopefully approaching...

They are color changing - I think that answers my question. Thanks for the replies!

We are just finishing up (fingers crossed) a build in Fort Lauderdale! We have a similar size/design, although we made ours L-shaped with the sunshelf on the side rather than part of the main pool. For reference, our sunshelf is 10 wide x 8 long - which is plenty of space for 2 loungers, plus...

My pool builder is asking whether we want to wire the pool lighting so that we can control the main pool light and the bubbler light (which is on the sunshelf) separately. It's an additional $600+ to do this, on top of so many other countless add-ons along the way....so while it's tempting to...

Thanks to you both! Feeling much better after your comments. Now to get the yard cleaned up....

We are in South Florida and unfortunately started building our pool a few weeks prior to Hurricane Irma. They were able to shoot the pool 2 days before the storm started, to prevent a cave in, and upon returning from evacuating it seemed fine although was filled with at least 4 feet of water...

Whoops - disregard, I see the attached design now (wasn't showing up until I refreshed). Thank you!! Really excited to follow your build as ours will be very similar - we will hopefully be about 1-2 months behind you. Looking forward to lots of pictures!

Thank you! I see the steps now, clever. This is our first pool, so I appreciate the information - the process is overwhelming! If you don't mind one more question - how many LED lights are you installing? And where?

Can I ask the dimensions of your pool? We are in the final stages of planning our L shaped and trying to figure out length and width. Our Baja shelf is the same as yours. You don't have steps? Or I'm just not seeing them? Thanks!

Thank you!! That guide is exactly what I was looking for. I searched all over the Jandy site, don't know how I missed that. The pool picture is very helpful too, I think one light would look similar in ours. We are also adding umbrella sleeves, right now thinking one in the sunshelf and one...

Hi! We are in the engineering/planning stages of building our first pool, would love some feedback! We are in Florida and have a decent sized yard for our neighborhood - but not big compared to many I have seen on this site. So the proposed pool dimensions fit our yard, but we could...
