Your pool and yard Looks great. We have a heat pump/solar cover and swam on Sunday. But when I saw the temperature forecast for the week, I turned the heat pump off. If I see any forecast of temps close to 80's in the near future, I will fire it up but no one wants to swim/float/play...

That looks good and I am sure you are excited about not having a dirt yard! Especially when this has been the wettest October in Arizona history.

I have no plaster dust and the pool water looks fantastic. I always figured I would supplement my liquid chlorine with pucks, but the startup guy had that reversed. He wants me to supplement the pucks with liquid "shock" which is just 10% chlorine labeled as shock because nothing else was in...

Thanks!

I agree on the pucks, I don't plan to use them once my initial CYA is in range. I don't know what he used for CYA; they had everything added before I got there and when I asked about stabilizer he said that he already took care of it. :( He did mention that the pucks would help "stabilize...

I tested with my kit and was pleasantly surprised. (The temp is not 84). The CYA was low, but that should be expected since it was just added today. If anything, I worry it will be too high in 48 hours. I will check the pool daily for awhile. my startup guy was pretty good. he said to avoid...

If I had unlimited space and unlimited budget, heck yeah I would want a slide, diving board and also plenty of shallow end to play volleyball. But I had to prioritize how we want to use our limited space and budget. I think in many cases, space and budget can make people decide between...

I appreciate opinions of others, but I prefer a "sports pool". I had a sports pool before that we liked that was 3-4-3 and recently built another sports pool but just a little deeper (3-5-4). We have two friends with deep pools and most of us congregate around the shallow end or benches. Our...

I brushed all weekend. But had no pump or skimmer. The startup is scheduled for this afternoon and I can start working on balancing the water and getting it clean. I will post elsewhere if I have questions on that. I will be less frequent in this thread until I get some landscaping and other...

Pool was done filling at midnight :) pictures taken this morning (none of my equipment is on; scheduled for tomorrow).

We started filling the pool today. Exciting!! To remind any curious: we did radiant fusion with the blue frost color. We paid at time of application for some abalone shells to be hand spread at end. It looks good, but I am not sure it shows up with my phone pics.

I have not met the start up guy. My PB has someone hired that does it. The pool finish is sprayed and will be done tomorrow. It is hard to picture this will look good tomorrow, but I know from reading here and listening to PB it is normal. I am posting some pictures so people can see pre-acid wash

aham, I was only there a few minutes of spray (their setup was from 6:30am-7:30am and I needed to roll). Where I was standing taking the picture, a few pieces splashed by me, but not a lot. When I get home, I can let you know how much is on plastic covering deck. That said, they didn't tarp my...

The pool is 28'6" long and 15'6" wide except at the baja shelf where it is roughly 18' wide at that point. We are excited to see with water. The PB stressed that we need to wait a month if we want to complain about the water color. I had already read that on the forum, but it was nice to hear...

I was there for the start of the process, but had to leave for work. They are supposed to come back tomorrow to acid wash and they begin filling the same day. I will follow PB direction on everything with start up for warranty. Basic direction was once they start filling, don’t let it stop until...

We passed the inspection but have too much mud in the side yard to proceed today, so we have moved the finish back to Friday.

Final inspection scheduled for tomorrow and if it all goes well, pebble finish on 10/17 and start filling Thursday, 10/18.

Everything was wrapped up today. Just waiting on final inspection and then it is time to plaster. I’ll have to do some extensive landscaping this winter and into spring, but that was expected. Closer picture of the travertine and what my future landscaping needs to address.
