@Newdude - you think it would be unadvised to just run a hill down the 3ft over 15ft and have a pathway doing the same?

Haha thanks! I might just have to raise the yard up. That’s the look we wanted. This pool should have been put another ft lower.

That shipped has sailed. Fence going across the yard after the pool is the way it needs to be. If we split out patio by cutting the fence into the house - it really hinders the patio usage and the fence has to but up right against the double slide you can see. But yes for the time being...

Nice screenshot worked! I think I’m closer to 2.5 on the left side and 3ft on the right side - directions based on if I’m in the backyard looking at my house. The pool is essentially 4-6 inches above the height of the patio table in the yard.

@Newdude - thank you sharing. Very cool to see the evolution you went through there. It looks like you have a similar height change to deal as I do. How much do you think you raised your yard by? Unfortunately for us the house and pool Are all contained with the fence so you cannot go...

I’m really just looking for advice to traverse a 2.5-3ft height change over a small distance to not lose backyard space. There is a wall idea but that’s quite costly. And if we do it too quickly we need steps instead of a sloped path? Maybe like 15ft hill where you drop down the 3 ft?

Pool is already in. It’s Gunite and the it’s the height of the slab you can see poured in the picture. The pool is next to the house. I tried uploading more pics but it says the files are too large…

Hey guys, Curious to gather some opinions on how to finish this product off. The pool and patio coming off the house is about 2.5, max 3ft higher elevation than my yard. This entire time I pictured feathering down to the yard but am not realizing that would yield a larger sloped portion of...

That’s what I thought. My Pb said it was an equivalent upgrade / similar product to pebble fina , which maybe he’s right but I’m still being ballparked astronomical costs to upgrade. My goal - since we want a dark finish - I am looking to spend a little bit more money for a better plaster...

Does anyone have a ballpark additional cost for a diamondbrite install compared to standard marble dust on a 40x20? I believe diamondbrite can be acid washed after for additional exposure, we would avoid doing this. Thanks

Was told - White Portland cement and Georgia marble

I don’t have all the specifics here as I am only just starting to explore other products. My PB has given me marble dust as the priced in option right now. They offered a light, medium or dark grey marble dust. Wife and I want a dark finish, dark water. dark grey marble dust would...

Bump - anyone have advice here? Im starting to think marble dust as a whole is the wrong choice due to the mottling that will occur on my top step and 2nd step sun shelf.. My PB is claiming pebble tec products to be at least 3x the cost of marble dust and that routinely repairing these top...

Been reading up on this as this part of the decision has finally come up and I figured be great to get a fresh opinion from the experts. We are a rectangle 22x40. On the deep end we will have a 25ft L shaped dolphin water slide in a rock waterfall feature. So despite being a rectangle we are...

Thank you everyone. I have an overwhelming fear of spending all this money and not optimizing everything!

Thank you!! so there is no issue with this setup? I just really don’t like if they are skimping on me either. I read some prior posts about electric gains and less head loss by using a 2inch pipe all the way and just 1.5 connectors at each return. Otherwise plumbing looks great…

Hey guys - need TFP to come to rescue one again. My PB just put the plumbing in. All the return heads are 1.5in and they are all on basically a single loop. They have an initial 2 inch line that is split into 2 1.5in lines. One of the 1.5in lines feeds 3 returns. The other feeds 2 returns...

Another area in question is the deep end floor. They installed some singular floor unit with 3 pipes attached to it. I was originally told I’d have 4 suctions as I am feeding 2 pumps (1 for pool and 1 for water slide / waterfall combo). 2 suctions per pump. Each set of 2 would Y together...

Thank you Jim. It’s kinda too late for the skimmers. The rebar is in. I’m being Gunited in a few days. Given the 2 skimmers on the long wall do you know what would be an optimal return setup? I do see how the is would be the easiest and now question the original suggestion. That being said...

Hey guys, Does this design make any sense? PB wanted to put both skimmers on the side of the pool nearest my house so that when you look out from my house you don’t see the skimmers which I appreciated but not so certain in the return design? Uploading pictures not working. So pool is 40x...

Definitely getting the inteliflo. Grrr not sure why this is so hard for me to understand lol

Hey Guys, Cannot thank you guys enough. This information is like pulling teeth to get anywhere else. I wanted to confirm my understanding here… 1) Pentair Home App - simple app for phone that my intelliflo variable speed pump can be added to and controlled from WITHOUT needing the...

Haven’t seen anyone do that before. Smart. Will give that some thought

Thank you. That sounds like a good compromise
