As others have mentioned, you shouldn't need to shock. However, if your water is in the 55-65F range, you will likely see reduced Chlorine production out of your SWG. That said, there are no issues augmenting with liquid Chlorine to raise your FC to target levels until your SWG is at full...

I don't think many installers will touch fiberglass in Georgia, due to the significant expansion and contraction of the clay soil, for fear of it developing cracks. They usually do extra thick gunite/shotcrete here as well for that reason.

In that price range, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Georgia Classic Pool in Milton, GA.

I haven't been happy with the reliability of the Jandy WaterColor lights either. 3 out of 4 of our lights have gone bad since our pool was completed 2 summer's ago. Luckily our builder is a preferred Jandy installer and has an extended warranty on them, so they're all being covered under...

A foot of elevation absolutely should be doable, and in fact you'll have plenty of dirt available from the dig itself to build up the area for the decking. Just make sure that it is properly compacted for whatever decking material you use and has appropriate drainage. You could also consider a...

I love it! Just the right color for the tile, and the bling adds elegance vs looking tacky. Nailed it! I can feel the excitement, and am excited for you. We use our pool pretty much daily, and since finishing up last year, our only regret has also been, "why didn't we do this sooner!"

The abalone based products are real shells and shouldn't fade over time, unless maybe they get worn or your water balance gets way out of whack for an extended period. Interestingly, the Shimmering Sea in my Ocean Blue has actually become more vivid after a year. It may have just been residual...

Uniformity looks pretty good now, and will only get better after they acid wash it! A lot of the smurf color will disappear, and you willl see even more of the pebble. It looks like they did a nice job! This is going to be the longest weekend on record waiting for that pool to fill! :LOL:

I think we spent a good month pressure washing the Georgia clay residue off of everything after our build was completed last year. :oops: The good news is that you're nearing completion, and it will be SO worth it when it's all done!

I like this one, because it looks like the reflections are coming from the bottom of the pool. The drains are 9' deep for reference.

Our PB used the same grout as where the waterline tile meets the coping and it has held up well. I wouldn't want it submerged while it's curing, but it should handle splashing and some absorbtion just fine. I would try and keep the skimmer at the lower level for the first 30 days, but I don't...

I agree. Hardscapes really add to the feel. I can't wait to see it finished!

I'm willing to bet that it's because you're wifi is going in and out. That's the only time I've ever seen it behave like that. Either way, if it shows the time on the unit display, you are good to go, and it's still working as it should!

Hmmm, I think mine took about 3 full cycles until it populated that info. Do you know if it got interrupted before it finished one of the cycles? Does it have a strong Wifi connection and are both the cleaner and your Jandy automation showing green dots in the app? You may want to try...

We considered doing a slide, but settled on a jumping rock, as our waterfall was being built into the side of a hill and already had a 4' drop. The all in cost for materials and labor was right at $18K. Not cheap, but the fact that it really has become a focal point in our yard, I think it was...

Thanks! We're still working on the landscaping, adding a lot of plants, but are very happy with the way it turned out. It is PebbleSheen, and the color is Ocean Blue.

I was initially worried about the boulder shelf for our waterfall extending all the way into the pool water, as I also thought it might be a cleaning nightmare. I figured I'd likely be scrubbing with a dive mask, but I haven't had to clean it yet. It's been almost a year since water was added...

We also had to do 2 full levels, because of our daylight basement and deck. Our PB provided our alarms, as he knew exactly what would pass and what would not in our jurisdiction. The inspector did ask to see the UL Paperwork for the alarms, and tested some but not all of them. All were battery...

My music taste pretty much covers the entire spectrum. I typically use Spotify premium with the HEOS app to my Denon Receiver (wifi streaming so don't have to deal with bluetooth range). I run a dedicated zone for Outdoors with 6 Yamaha outdoor rated speakers (2 each Pool, Patio and Deck)...

First off, the lighted bubblers turned out awesome! Very cool effect at night. Can you also turn them on just for light, or do the bubblers have to be running when lit? I agree with everything the gurus here have stated regarding the water testing and care. Water chemistry will seem very...

She lives! :cool: Note, the ducky floater is just to ensure constant CL until my SWG is fully operational and can be dialed back to normal settings. Water is currently 63F and may see the heater this weekend.

Thanks for being my voice of reason HermanTX. I put the plugs in, added enough water to the basket area to prime them, and both pumps are up and running. Other than some pine needles from the waterfall washing into the pool. All looks good!

The thaw in Georgia has given way to spring. I never fully "winterized" the pool, as it remained uncovered with the filter running throughout the winter. Freeze protection worked very well in the overnight periods where it stayed below freezing to keep the main filter pump safe. However, I...

The design is beautiful, but will it be functional for what you want? I know you mentioned that swim lanes were important to you. As a lap swimmer, I would not want to be swimming into benches or a tanning ledge. From a safety perspective, it's an accident waiting to happen, especially if you...

Got both pumps winterized, and the water is not draining back into the lines. (y) I did have one other question. I just left the plugs out in the dry pump baskets, and turned off the individual panel breakers for the pumps. I pulled them off the list for freeze protection, but my regular...

Thanks guys! The water level for the pool is just below the level of the pad, and the suction for both pumps is well below that (wall and floor vs skimmers). I think I should be okay with water not draining back into the lines.

First year pool owner here... So with the cold weather in Georgia (below freezing temps this week), I now understand how Jandy's Freeze Protect works. It's great for the variable speed circulation pump, but I really don't like having my bubblers and waterfall running the entire time that the...

Shopping pool builders is a difficult process to begin with, but I wouldn't let price alone dictate your decision. References and reputation mean so much in terms of the overall outcome! Did they start and finish on time? Did they have on-site presence throughout the process, or was it mainly...
