Just submitted the permit for my owner build, pretty basic pool in Austin, TX, and anxiously anticipating this journey!
Building a play pool for my children as they are little fish, and it's so warm in Austin. Ages: 9, 6, 5, 3
Simple 16k gallon, SWG, 33x19, 490 sq ft freeform pool with 18" raised wall (with sheer) and sun deck (with bubbler).
Designs attached.
Setup:
PebbleSheen
Oklahoma or Quartzite coping
400 sq ft patio with koolcote
Equipment:
Pentair Intelliflo VS 3 HP pump
Hayward 27" sand filter
Aquarite 40k SWG (AQR15)
1 Pentair Intellibright 5G Color LED pool light
Polaris 360
Debating about:
-Filter choice (thinking sand because I'm lazy)
-Whether to pay $3k for a heat pump to extend swim season
-Automation (really only desire here is for color led light to turn on cool colors every night between certain hours - thinking about having electrician hook it up to a standard outlet where I can attach a simple holiday timer)
-Oklahoma vs Quartzite coping (will come down to cost difference)
Thanks for all of the advice and knowledge that you've contributed to this forum as it's helped me a lot so far.
