I'd second the chiller. I had the same mindset you do and my wife convinced me, and I'm glad she did. Our pool here in Houston got up to 91 a few weeks back. The chiller got it down to low 80s overnight. I don't like the water much over 86 when it's hot out. I actually have it on now since it...

Our contract only included sod around the pool, so I just worked with the landscaper on the side to add rocks and pavers. It was super cheap, but they didn't use enough sand and we're going to have to level and straighten the pavers a bit. No big deal. I added the plants myself. They'll grow...

Finally, I have time to do a full update. Right as I was getting the pool balanced, issues started popping up. 1st they connected the gas to the heater, but couldn't get the heater to fire. Finally find out they never turned on the switch inside, but the panel where it is was on the...

Not sure how you feel about them, but consider not having the spa raised and making it pool level. With the design from the baseball not picture, it would flow great and not have the spillover bothering the table seating. Also makes conversations easier between the 2 sections. I've noticed with...

Man, I've gotten so busy at home being a teacher and enjoying the pool that I forgot to update this. We hit a couple snags and landscape additions that threw my updates off. I've attached some updated pics so you can see the color now that everything is balanced. The french grey does have a...

The sun is just starting to come over the neighbors tree and it's clear out, so I took bling pic for you! The shells are looking amazing!

Yep! I've been sitting on my patio working from home since we started the equipment! Going to test again at lunch to see where I am, but it's pretty clear. They're coming to finish the sprinklers today and do landscapingt tomorrow(sod) and Monday (gravel/pavestones) I think. They were...

A little over a day later and the pool is already getting pretty clear. PH is low, but has been coming up pretty steadily. Here were my initial test results this morning. Just finished brushing the 2nd time today. FC - 2.5 CC - 0.5 CH - 150 TA - 60 PH - 6.3 CYA is pretty close to zero

43 hours later and finally full! Builder is coming to turn the equipment on shortly. Kim - I didn't see your message since I took the kid to the park to keep the stir craziness at bay and didn't check back. Good thing is there are no streaks or stains. The returns barely had any wetness...

I wish I had a second hose. My second one busted about 2 weeks ago and I haven't replaced it yet. Just gonna hope for the best and deal with whatever happens at that time

24 hrs and still and a little less than 2 feet away! Will probably be done around midnight. It's a whole lot of water!
