Install went well yesterday. Walked by a few minutes ago and heard water dripping. It’s cracked through and through. I text PB pics. Waiting for a response. Anyone else been down this road? Advice? We’re trying to remain calm. Wondering what’s next.

Trying to decide on Jandy vs Pentair for equipment and automation, as well as how much automation I really “need”. Do i “need” a VSP pump or will 2 speed be ok? 3 Jandy bubblers and 3 spa jets on the bench seat are the only water features and dont need to run at the same time. I’m ok with ET...

Got it set right after dark. Packed in some sand and started filling so it wouldn't float up. Rained hard all around us last night but very little here thankfully.

PB says splash pad will be 4-6” deep depending on how we prefer it. He puts his skimmers as high as possible. Its a challenge to keep kids out of the pit! Church last night, so no mountain climbing, but tonight will be a free for all I’m sure. Looking for confirmation/suggestions on...

Made some progress today.

The yard slopes ~24" from existing patio to end of pool and we're planning to something like this with cantilever concrete coping and concrete deck; stone to match the existing walls in the yard. Wife wants at least 3' walkway around pool, I think narrower would accentuate the length and balance...

Few more site pics.

Check out Eiklor Flames. We have the Ultimate 5 inside and are very pleased. Looks fantastic and puts out good heat. They are not cheap, but they are the best. You will not be disappointed.

Will a robot cleaner be able to climb to the splash pad? And will one run in 5-6" (top step depth) water? We love our Roomba inside and would like to simplify the pool cleaning process. I'm concerned that it may not work for our pool. Any experience or advice? This is not our actual pool, but...

I'll check on the Taylor kit and insist on the 2006. I got the basic $20 kit from CWS, mostly just out of curiosity a while back but haven't used it yet.

I resized pics, but it would only let me post 1. PB and I had discussed VS pumps previously but it's been a while. We plan to keep the pool open year round, since we have moderate cold and very few freezing days. The 3050vs coupled with the automation seems like a solid choice, correct? Any...

Thanks Kim! The splash pad and pool are attached to each other at the factory. It will be interesting to see how they dig and set it. I can't recall about the pump, but will check. This PB installed a small freeform fiberglass pool for my inlaws a few years ago and they have been very pleased...

I've been lurking here for several months, gleaning as much information as possible. Planning to go the TFP route, as I've seen my FIL go through all kinds of hassles with his methods. PB is to begin digging next week. Planned specs are in my signature. Wife is really wanting to add a heat...
