@PoolPaul - sounds like fountain and rill will be well lit as I assume this will be a key focal point for your build and the view from inside the house. I would definitely try to get more details from your builder about the fountain and rill lights to see how they will all be integrated together...

To get back on topic (Sorry for the side conversation), I do wish the Microbrites came in different wattage like the Jandy. With your layout and design you may want different brightness for different areas, for example the tanning ledge compared to the pool. Especially the rill in your design...

Haha, it’s like a disease. My family and friends don’t understand why I’ve ripped out all the wiring in my closet and built a server cabinet. I’ve got the home network figured out and even added a wireless access point on the patio so we’ll have plenty of signal around the pool. I’ve also got...

It really is ridiculous how behind these pool lights are, especially for the cost. The Microbrites aren’t as bad as the Intellibrites cost wise when you start to add the niches. In fact in the grand scheme of my post above, changing from Intellibrites to more Microbrites wasn’t much of an...

Dirk has already posted lots of good options so I’ll speak to my setup a little more. Our pool is still under construction so unfortunately I can’t provide actual pictures or anything. Originally we had the larger Intellibrites planned for the pool and Spa with a microbrite for the tanning...

I’m not sure about the jandy lights. Are they the smaller nicheless lights that fit in 1.5” PVC? I’m putting that type in my pool, Pentair MicroBrites. Since they are smaller with less output, and because we want better control options (multiple lighting “zones”), we are putting 8 in our pool...

I typically select the “medium” or”large” picture size on my iPhone when uploading them to keep the picture at 1.5MB or less and it’s been working but know I can’t even do that or upload a 500mb picture. Perhaps there is some kind of limit per time period? I guess I could upload the pics and...

I’m having trouble uploading pics from my phone. Maybe I’m hitting some kind of limit... I’ll add more some other time

Finally getting around to updating this thread and adding pictures. I sure wish I knew more about the excavation process which I learned here after the fact. The 2 tree stumps on the left side of the first picture are right in line with the wall of the pool and part of our pergola which became...

I never really posted pictures of the start of this project so here we go... Before - it was really tough to cut down so many beautiful, tall pine trees

I think I’m going to need a larger equipment pad, or to add another pad further down the side of the house just for the Glacier Chiller. This thing is huge, about 3’6” wide and 5’ tall

Hello Fellow Longhorn, @ajw22 has been giving you great advice and I’m a novice, but you may want to confirm with the plumber if he put a single spa return in line with you pool returns, similar to @HermanTX. If so, then you will always have water going to your spa in pool mode regardless of...

I’m not an expert by any means and have just been learning about pool related pumps for the last month or 2 in preparation for my pool. I’m not trying to be a downer either but I doubt you will get that find of flow from a water feature pump (especially if the flow is split to bubblers and...

Hopefully it’s an easy addition to the automation platform. I’m not familiar with your equipment.

I forgot to show off the water bowls we got to go on top of the columns... [

We’re going with Blue Surf as well! We only have about 500sqft of decking as we have a large ~600sqft existing patio that is stained concrete which doesn’t have enough room for an overlay unless the current concrete was ground down a inch or two. I think it was about $5K to upgrade to...
