First time pool owner and new build. My husband and I have lived in San Diego over 21 years and recently bought a new home on 2 acres but it is about 15 miles inland from the coast and much warmer than living close to the ocean. I have always wanted my own pool since I was a little girl and finally my dream is coming true. We have a pool builder and have signed docs but I have been a lurker here for a while and hoping all of you can review my proposed equipment and design and offer advice or changes if needed.
We have one son that is in college, so it is just the two of us at home that will use the pool (and 4 dogs but doubt they will swim). We have a limited area to put the pool as their is a slope behind our home and we are not interested in spending all our money on a huge retaining wall. The backyard also has a enormous waterfall koi pond that will right next to the pool so we really just want a plain well built pool. We have decided not to add a spa and will get a unattached one eventually.
Here is our specs:
Pool size 18 x 30/ depth 4ft to 7 ft
Plumbing - 2 Skimmers/ 3 returns/ 2 Drains
Coping - Poured Cantilever
1 Pentair Intellibrite5G light
Pebble Sheen finish
Pentair Intelliflo 50/160gpm Circ Pump
Filter: Pentair Clean and Clear 160 gpm
Pentair Intellichlor Salt Chlorine
Pentair Intellichem Chemical Controller
Solar 100% Coverage
I will come back and post pictures soon.
