Hello All! Getting ready to start a new IG pool build in Jacksonville, FL. This will be our first pool and TFP has been a terrific resource so far. It took us a while to interview a number of PB in our area but we finally settled on one we're comfortable with. Same PB did pools for a couple of friends plus they gave me contact info for a couple other previous customers that we were able to go visit to see their work. Local family business for about the past 30 plus years. They do most of the work in-house with few sub-contractors other than plasterer and electric. Currently waiting on county permitting which could be a couple more weeks. In the meantime I thought I would throw out the details of the build and welcome any feedback.
Design: Freeform shape (No spa)
Size: Roughly 30 x 20 at the longest and widest points), approximately 400sq ft. PB estimates about 12K gallons
Depth: 3.5 to 5.5
Shell: 5500 Shotcrete , Steel Reinforced
Interior Finish: CLI Sunstone Pearl pebble (Blue Pearl color)
Tile: 6"x6" waterline, 2"x6" trim caps on steps (not sold on the trim caps yet so those are TBD)
Deck: Pavers, Tremron Stonehurst (Color still TBD)
Equipment:
- Pentair Cartridge Filter
- Pentair Intelliflo VS pump
- Pentair Intellichlor SWG
- Hayward Pool Vac cleaner with designated line
U3 Skimmer
3 - 1" directional eyeball returns
2x Pentair Intellibrite 5G LED lights with controller
Maintenance equip: Telescopic pole, net, brush, vacuum head and test kit
Water Feature: 1 concrete scupper fountain bowl
Screen enclosure 18/14, Mansard roof, two 4ft doors (one on each side)
I plan to have the electrician also add additional receptacles on the rear corners of the deck inside the enclosure. Where I can add them I'm pretty sure will depend on the specific electrical codes but based on my research it looks like I should be OK at both back corners at least since I have more than 6' of deck between the water and the back of the deck. Aside from this, the only other things I've upgraded so far are the VS pump and the LED lights. So there it is for now! Looking forward to sharing the progress here once it gets started. All feedback is welcome. Thanks!
