With my SWG, I’ve ramped my CYA up to 90. Pool essentially gets 100% sun all day. At this level I’m losing 1-2 ppm/day of chlorine with light use.

Thanks! Didn’t pay for him extra abalone, assuming this is the standard mix. - - - Updated - - - Thanks!

Here are some updated photos of the tropics blue. I’ve noticed it really does change in shade depending on the time of day. First picture was this am, second late afternoon. Loving our intelibrite! Now it’s time to put the yard back together.....

Equipment was fired up today, so far so good. Brushing twice a day based on what I’ve seen here.

And we are FULL!

And we have PLASTER! It seems to be on the darker side, pending acid wash and H2O tomorrow

Re: New pool build Far North Dallas Suburb (Photos linked) Having stonescapes tropics blue minipebble installed as I type this, check out my build link for pics later today

It’s been awhile TPF crew, time for an update. Plaster going in today!

Going with a dark gray, I'll post some pics once they wrap it up

Been a few weeks since last posts, time for an update.... We've been equipped And tiling underway!

Update... Well the 14x28 mud hole was finally rebarred last week. After voicing my concerns with my builder over Hurricane Irma, I officially have a cement pond!

Plan is for them to be back at it tomorrow am....::fingers crossed::

Well the excavation company showed up bright and early to get this dig done, but three hours in the track to the excavator popped, no more digging today :(

Finally starting to look more like a pool and less like the surface of Mars in our backyard!

Not mine, was just an example of the tile, mine still a dirt pile in my backyard! We're located off Lake Louisa Drive, essentially a stones throw away.

......just when I thought we were good to go! Thanks for the input :)

Hey Epster, Fellow Clermont resident with a build underway as well. I had a similar debate with the wife, and we went natural, going with NPTs sierra blue slate. Considering you're planning on a raised bond wall, I'd go natural, for what it's worth. Hoping it comes together similar to this:

Design has been finalized! Decided on NPT tropics blue mini pebble, NPT sierra blue slate for our waterline tile as well as extended bond wall, with some glass tile worked into the design. For our decking, we're going with sand colored pavers with matching coping.

And with the sun and moon in proper alignment....time to DIG!

Nice setup!

.....this just might be the excuse I need (for wife approval) to go with direct tv and get that NFL Sunday ticket.

Brentr, I saw in another thread you have an outdoor tv setup. How did you go about getting cable access outside? Always been a dream of mine to lounge in the pool catching the games with football season fast approaching.

As suggested, some views of my backyard space prior to excavation. Excuse the jungle as I've refused to mow back there considering the dig should be starting up in the next few days... - - - Updated - - - Fence is down, permit is posted and fingers crossed that we will be underway sometime...

After following along with the countless builds on the forum, it's finally time to start my own. I'm currently awaiting ground breaking on a 14x28 classic rectangle, delayed nearly two months due to "engineering delays" per the pool builder. Our pool will have a significantly raised bond beam...

Central Florida here. Under contract on a 14x28 gunite, pentair equipment, heater with cage and I'm slightly over 50k; granted this is with upgrades like mini pebble, pavers, swg and color changing LEDs with a 2ft high bond beam. For just a basic pool, no decking I was quoted between 25-30k...
