Hey Everyone,
Building a pool out here in muggy Louisiana as it’s just too hot here not to have a pool. We started looking in July and settled on an independent builder and pulled the trigger mid November on our build. We decided on a pool/spa with the following specs:

Aprox 100 Linear feet perimeter for pool
7’ ft diameter spa raised 1 foot with spillover
Depth 3.5 ft down to 7 ft

#4 rebar on beam
Shotcrete construction
Tanning ledge with umbrella holder and two bubblers
Quartz plaster
Glass mosaic waterline tile
Flagstone Coping
Waterfall feature
915 sq ft of concrete decking with deck drains
Pump and Equipment
Pentair VSF pump
Pentair Challenger Pump 1HP to run waterfall and bubblers.
Pentair 400K BTU Gas Heater
Pentair EasyTouch 8 with ScreenLogic
Pentair Cartridge Filter
In-line chlorinator
Sch. 40 plumbing
2 surface skimmers plummed independently to pad
