    New Pool Build in SoCal

    I had this come up recently. We have very expansive clay soil and although the pool builder excavated a ton of the clay out and brought in a couple of feet of non-expansive soil before pouring the deck it seems to still be causing issues. In the pictures you can see that one corner of the deck...

    New Pool Build in SoCal

    Quick little update to the backyard progress. Got some grass in the backyard. Ordered some tall fescue for the side yard. Also got electrical hooked up to the gazebos and some fans installed as well. Took advantage of the new electrical run and hooked up some landscape lighting too. Not bad...

    New Pool Build in SoCal

    Will do! I have seen some of the ones on here and they look great! I just need to figure out a way of making them easily removable and effective without having to add too many (or any) tall poles around the backyard. I

    New Pool Build in SoCal

    Shade is definitely needed. Bakersfield gets hot and stays hot all summer. I am already noticing that my pool temps shoot up as soon as the temps start getting over 90. I am going to be looking into installing a removable shade sail or two over the pool to keep the water temperature down...

    New Pool Build in SoCal

    Life has gotten busy, but I want to post a few updates. The pool is coming along, I ended up having and extra 3ft of concrete decking poured around the perimeter. It just wasn't enough space to be able to comfortably walk around the pool. I built an enclosure to keep the pool equipment out of...

    New Pool Build in SoCal

    The pool was plastered this last weekend. We chose a pearl white quartz as I like how the white plaster looks. This quartz has blue speckles in it that gives the water a slightly deeper color but doesn't overdo it. Very happy with it all now I can focus on getting the rest of the backyard done...

    New Pool Build in SoCal

    This is exactly the information I was looking for. Thank You! This makes a lot of sense to how it works. Also, yes it is an intermatic pool timer but I do not know what model it is.

    New Pool Build in SoCal

    I was looking at my pool pump and noticed it doesn't really have many buttons or even a screen to see what's going on. So I looked into the model and it seems I have an intelliflo 3 pump which is wirelessly controlled via bluetooth/wifi. But now I am confused as I also see that I have a pool...
