Kind of between a rock and a hard place. I have expressed my concern, but have not been handed the keys to the car so to speak....

Great question! We started this project completly debt free including having our house paid off, so we took out a 30 year mortgage for 75k at 4.9%, and pay 3.5 x the minimum payment to have it paid off in 5 years (rocket mortgage). That was our budget for the Pool and landscape project...

So the PB has the filter system up and running, but he only has it programed to run for 2 or 3 hours in the morning. This is a bit concerning to me, so I brought it up to him, he said it was fine... I really wish I knew how to operate the equipment so I could have the pump/filter run more hours...

Chatted with the PB today.. he said 10 days is the max amount of time to allow the water to not have circulation. The electrician was out today and will be back tomorrow, and the water will be circulating on monday, which will be 5 days from the fill date. We have been brushing and the kids...

In the market for solar heater... there is no heater on this build.... it is not a money object, but rather a Georgia 100 degrees with 100% humidity issue... I have been researching the forum and found Issac-1's post... This would be a post build solar heater... is it feasible? Plumbing? I am...

Yes sticking with the Polaris! I read all the intel in pool school and threads on the forum for all the different systems... I like this system for now... time will tell... As far as the valve after SWG... bit greek to me. Is there something I need to address Dirk with the PB? I would rather...

I am ok with compact when it comes to the equipment... I plan to either landscape around it (smaller the better) or put a small shed over the equipment. - - - Updated - - - Yes.. that was my one requirement! LOL

Plumbing is going in today! Pretty awesome to see it all coming together. The pool took about 30 hours to fill from the garden hose! One question I have is how long can the water just sit there without having any chemicals added? I turned the hose off about 20 hours ago.

Water is going in!!

WOW... excellent heads up... None of the pool equipment has been delivered to the property yet. I can call the PB and ask what options I have for vaccum cleaners. What do you recommend I ask the PB? Thanks Dirk

Pebbletec crew came this morning and installed the plaster!!! Wow what a difference, it looks like a real pool! So excited.. This is the Tahoe-Blue for inquiring minds.

Tap Water Test Hi all.. I posted in the members section, but figured I might get a bit more exposure here... We are filling our new construction pool this week, and I received my Taylor K2006C testing kit from Amazon. I wanted to test the tap water as this is how we are filling the pool...

I have received my Taylor 2006C. The new pool will be filled starting Tuesday from the garden hose off the house. I am going to test the tap water with my new kit... Any advice on what to test/look for? Again.. this is just the test of the water before begining the fill process.. Thanks

Start with the big budget items and knock them out. Hard scape/stone work/ landscaping... then start shopping for furniture!

One thing you can do is get a "ring" doorbell/floodlight camera.. .it records everything.. install it in your back yard and have a video and audio record of the progress, what day they work, what time they work, when they show up, when they leave, rain days, nice days, etc... So when you sue...
