Welcome to TFP! Like you, I'm a new pool owner and I'm just a few hours northwest. Being a new pool owner / operator, I don't make a habit of dishing out advice because there are far more knowledgeable people around here than me. But, just this once, I'll make an exception. My advice? Don't...

dmb, I know nothing of the Reva. I own a Hayward SharkVac XL, so I'll just comment on it. We had a 14' x 34' fiberglass pool installed in August of 2022. The pool builder used Hayward equipment, so the SharkVac was included in my start-up package. I've used this vac at least 2 times per week...

I don't post much, but Dang, that deck is beautiful. I've been following this build from the beginning and I'm impressed with your patience, vision and persistence. It's all coming together now and you truly have a backyard to be proud of. Good on you, my friend.

Much respect, my friend. An owner build is one thing, an owner build of the magnitude that you tackled is in a whole other category. And it looks fantastic. Much, much respect.

Thanks for the feedback. And will do.

Good morning all, Yesterday, I made my introduction, here. This is my first set of test results. I'm not very confident in these results, because it is my first attempt at something that I've never done before. This is a new pool and the only thing that I witnessed the PB add to the pool was...

Gaylesville, AL, huh? I grew up in Jacksonville, AL and my parents lived in Cedar Bluff for about 10 years before relocating to Gatlinburg, TN. I know your area well. I've spent many hours Crappie fishing on Weiss Lake. Beautiful area up there. And thank you for the kind comments.

Thank you, my friend.

You people… You magnificent, beautiful people. We were handed the keys to our new pool yesterday and thankfully I have “you people” as my backup. When the notion of installing a pool first came up, I quickly found this site and absorbed every bit of information that my over-the-hill brain...

So impressive. Great job. Keep the pictures of your progress coming. You nailed the leveling. That would be the part that made me most anxious, but you nailed it.

Gorgeous pool. I am very happy for your family - especially those little ones. I think that I will contact your pool builder soon to have a pool installed before the swim season of 2019. I am very impressed with their efficiency. Start to finish in about 2 weeks (considering their workload)...

I'm amazed at how quickly this build has progressed. I don't want to rush you but please share updated picks when you have them. Other than the communication lacking a little, have you been pleased overall with the pool builder?

neosolace, I'm a little north of you in Alabaster. I will be paying particular attention to this thread because we are about a year, or so, out from starting this same process. I'm still unsure whether we'll go with a liner or fiberglass. Looking forward to following your build and learning...
