Hello everyone! Been a while I know (please hold your applause and stay seated) but I have signed for a new build to start soon. Nothing to show as of yet. Details are as follows... 27,000 gallon IG gunite quartz plaster Intelliflo VSF with Intelliconnect Pentair CC520P filter HASA...

Love the slide! :goodjob:

That glass tile is absolutely striking! :goodjob:

That tile is really pretty!

That looks awesome! Enjoy!

I can't really suggest a contractor for you. But I'd like to welcome you to TFP!

Very beautiful!

If your pool is outdoors, you just don't need an ozone system. The sun does all of the work of an ozone system for you for free. :)

I would love to see photos of your progress. Sounds very interesting to me.

Keep the pictures coming!

Re: New Pool Build in Atlanta! (In progress, with pics) Looking good! :goodjob:

Welcome to TFP!

Yep, post pics! I love seeing how much limestone they have to bust through putting those central Texas pools in.

Welcome to TFP! The builder pretty much owns any problems at this point. You haven't made a final payment have you?

I think that it all has to do with how artful one is at landscaping. Done right and it can look like a rainforest. Very tranquil and secluded almost. You might check with some professional landscaping companies. They can draw up some really cool things.

Not sure about the rebar question. We consider pebbletech to be plaster and therefore, no different than any other type of plaster finish. Ozone is not needed with an outdoor pool since the sun does the same thing for free. And yes, in-floor cleaning systems are usually more trouble than they...

Welcome to TFP! Don't tell builders what your budget is and then you won't have to worry about whether your budget is influencing their bid. Write down what you want. Hand it to them and tell them to give you a bid. Once you get the bid, tell them to have a nice day and that you'll contact...

Scale can be removed with a 10:1 water to muriatic acid mixture. Apply it, let it sit for a bit, and then brush it off. Wear gloves and eye protection when doing this. Not sure about regrouting but I don't think that you would need to do that because of algae. Some scrubbing should take care...

An estimate should include everything in the package, broken down as line items. All builders are capable of doing this with little effort. DE or cartridge is up to you. I like my cartridge system and so I'm partial to that. I'd suggest looking at the following thread for information on...

Welcome to TFP! You have a very interesting setup there. I'm interested in seeing what things look like when finished. :goodjob:

Very nice!

Welcome to TFP! That looks very nice!

:bump: Can anybody recommend anything here?

I'm gonna have to do the same thing and I have been worried about it as well. I am a pretty good DIY'er but I have never grouted anything.

I'm going way ahead here but you are probably going to have to watch your calcium hardness out there really close. Super hard water in Midland.

Re: new pool quote- looking to start end of March- opinions? Dolphin robots are good. Love mine!

Nice looking setup!

Welcome to TFP! We look forward to seeing the progress with your pool. Be sure to read Pool School and get a good test kit like the ones we recommend in Pool School. One question, how many return jets are you going to have? You have two skimmers which is excellent. But you do have some...

Looks great! Just in time too. Your summer will be awesome this year!

Re: New pool build finally under way in Tampa Bay! Very nice thus far. :goodjob:
