Yes it's salt water. Still loving the pool! - - - Updated - - - I can't remember the exact name of the colors....but the rim is a rust color and the main paid is a light grey.

The pool has had zero issues since installed. We love it and would have the same PB install another one should we move. I still highly recommend our PB.

I highly recommend the guys out of Chickasha..... They did a great job on mine. I have had no trouble with our pool all year. I would recommend not just installing the electrical wiring needed for external lighting around the decking....but would also go the extra mile and have the light...

jgarner- We believe we ended up paying about 43k for everything. We are very happy with our setup. It's made this summer one of our best ones ever. We went with the following as far as equipment and options: 16' x 40' Viking Caribbean fiberglass pool - Perfect size for our purposes...

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Yes. We still love the pool! It's been a great summer so far. The maintenance has been as easy as promised. There is nothing I would have done differently.

I bought this about 2 weeks ago for my FG pool. The MX8 has eliminated the time I spend vacuuming and has drastically reduced the time I spend brushing the walls and stairs. It's been extremely windy here in OK...coupled with a new build that has left the area around the pool nothing but dirt...

Our pool project is pretty much complete! Time for me to move on and start hanging around the Pool School forums. I'm really happy that I found this resource.....it has been very helpful. Really looking forward to the summer! Still trying to decide what to do for a water feature....we had...

Finally getting around to updating. Our PB poured our deck on 30 Dec. We went over our estimate by about 300 square feet. Really glad I negotiated a good price in the contract phase for per square foot. I believe we got just the right amount of decking for us. Our electrician is supposed...

I did run extra conduit. I'll be putting in some kind of music system next year. It may be 60 here in OKC...but that well water in the pool is hovering just above freezing still! A bit too cold for my blood! The electrician called this morning and said he'd be out this afternoon to get all...

Well it's finally dried out enough for some more work on the pool. The last two days have been plumbing, installing the LED lights, and setting up the equipment pad. Things are finally coming together! jhav: I will be making a few of those umbrella holders.....what a brilliant idea! A few...

Re: New FG Pool - SE Pennsylvania Heya jhav! Looks great! I'm hoping you can post some information on the umbrella holders you made for your deck? I think that's a great idea....and would love to do the same thing.

I bought mine from Amazon for about $400. Here's a link to the information on it. http://www.svat.com/productDisplay.php? ... ryNumber=2

Wow! It's been an exciting past few days. I have figured out how to stop the drought that has been gripping us here in Oklahoma this past year. All you have to do is install a pool and voila! All the rain you can stand. Work continues on our pool....but it's been in between periods of...

And so it begins.......finally!

Finally! Dig tomorrow. Pics ASAP.

I figured we would be swimming by now as well.....but this Oklahoma weather is not cooperating. Looks like next week now. Your's looks like it went well. Anything you'd do different if you had to do it again?

I like your pergola! Can you give me specifics on it? Looks great!

Re: New Pool - SE Pennsylvania Looking good!

jhav: I'm ready to write those checks.... I bought the SVAT CV502-4CH-002 Web Ready 4 Channel H.264 500GB HDD DVR Security System with Smart Phone Access and 4 Indoor/Outdoor Hi-Res Night Vision CCD Surveillance Cameras system. It took me a few hours to set it it all up....but now I can watch...

We're about 2 weeks from the beginning of our dig. Our pool builder seems to be on track with the promised "mid-November" time-frame. The weather has cooled down drastically here....and my neighbors have closed their pools for the season. Still, we couldn't be more excited! I'm liking the...

Re: New Pool - SE Pennsylvania How's it going? Was hoping to see some completion photos!

Ouch!

Welp.....just a few weeks away from our install. My small town requires a pool permit now (a new requirement) so I have applied for that on behalf of the builder....It's free and I wanted no chance of a work stoppage once we get started. I should have permit in hand by middle of next week...

Looks great! My wife is from Kemp. Class of '82.

Re: New Pool - SE Pennsylvania Lucky! We get our pool installed in November and cannot wait! Following your build as it is very similar to my own.

Gorgeous! Grats on the finished pool!

Our pool builder suggested the sand filter. I'm still researching our equipment options....and will look into cartridge filters. I believe in getting what you want the first time.....that way you'll have no regrets down the road. Thanks for the input....so much to consider!

I'm completely sold now! Thanks for the input!

Brushpup. Thanks for the welcome! My wife has been wanting a pool for about 10 years now.....and like you....I spent a bunch of time researching. It's amazing how much is involved. It came down to fiberglass and gunite for us....and we just like the ease of care for the fiberglass (plus...

Welcome armywife1996! I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Please forgive me in advance for the content of some of this thread.....I'm using it mostly as a personal blog and to document our project.....so some of the details may be of no interest to anyone but myself....like our...
