excellent work, thanks for sharing!

guilty! we finally have all of our boraxo in (37 boxes) and chems just right, what an amazing difference! I was leery that our already clean water could get better. The "Sparkle" is very evident and the water feels great. When we jump in it's like diving into velvet. Hello my name is Michael...

Ok, well it's done! and beautiful. the SWCG are working great although over the last couple of days I have noticed some calcium build up on the plates. I took the plunge and starting adding borax. I am using the pool calculator and have added twice the amount of acid it asked for and still...

looks great

Thanks Bama, will do. I have a feeling with a pool of this size it will take me a few minutes to get the hang of keeping it balanced.

well it is finally starting to look like a pool. It has been a lot of hard work and have had to work around rain and mud. Filter and pumps showed up yesterday. The float line tile started going up and we should be applying the Florida Gem by Monday. I have had 180lbs. of 20 mule team boraxo...

we fill at least 6,000 gallons of water a day around here in the dry season. The pump is fine I just have to keep an eye on the level of water in the well. I can pump 2,500 gallons in about 1.5 hours, then I have to let the well recover. LisaM I would be more worried about the creek water...

thanks, I do know our water is very hard. At 60,000 gallons I am assuming that keeping the pool topped off with the well should be fine, giving the system time to bring the water in line.

hello again, so we are slowly approach the time to fill the new pool. The PB has said that we should not use the well water for the initial fill. He said that the minerals in the water will stain or discolor the Florida Gem finish. Does this sound right to yall? I am looking at $1,000 to...

trying to add several pictures here...... http://s826.photobucket.com/albums/zz18 ... 20May%207/

Well we beat the rain, just barely. The walls are being poured today! It amazes me how hard the guys work in this country. 16 guys, two mixers, 200 bags of cement and one day. Should only be another couple of weeks before we are swimming. Some pictures below...

floor is poured and walls are being formed!

yep, that's what we call it too. it was intended to be a "beach" entry, still I think it will be fun for the kids. Trying to figure out how to make a splash park on the side using the same filtration system.

http://s826.photobucket.com/albums/zz18 ... =slideshow There is a link to a few more pictures. The family is starting to get the vision. 2 SWG units on their way from the States. Starting to get excited. The guys building the bathrooms and pump house are doing a great job, as always.

we are actually sent out from our home church in Central Oregon. This is home now, we have three amazing kids the youngest of which was born here. They have no memory of living in the States. And now, if we ever get the pool done, we will be able to vacation in our own yard! The pool is...

here are a few more pictures. This makes about two weeks worth of work to a semi existing hole. http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/zz18 ... 094158.jpg

yeah, I am a bit overwhelmed by the size and have a really bad habit of going too far. It fits the size and scope of the property and we often can have 30+ people using the pool. My main concern is the fact that I can't just run down to the pool supply store and pick up whatever I need. Many...

Hello, noob here, my family and I are full time missionaries in Nicaragua. Over the last 5 years we have developed a missions house to house teams that come to serve the people of Nicaragua. We have finally gotten to the point where we are able to build the pool. Everything here is done by...
