Will try to keep it short. Have been lurking for a long time and posting on another site. This one seems to have more action.....so here it goes!
Original Estimate:
Dallas, Texas
Pool/Spa
Surface Sq ft: 450
Perimeter: 90
Pool Size: 30' x 15' (straight line)
Depth: 3.5'-5'-4' (sport)
16,031 Gallons
Gunite
1 bench, 1 sun deck
Filter: Jandy 48 sq ft DE filter
Circulation Pump: Stealth Pump 2 hp
Chlorine Dispenser: Rainbow 320
Computer Center: Jandy PDA PS4 (pool/spa)
Heater Size and Electronic Ignition: Jandy LRZ400 Natural Heater
Cleaning System: Polaris 280
Spa: 8 Jets, 1 fountain, Polaris 220V 1.5HP QT blower included
2 skimmers, 5 returns, 2 safety main drains
1 500W pool light, 1 100W spa light
Coping: OK Flagstone
Estimate: 40k
We upgraded to SWCG and switched to Tennessee Flagstone. Also changed to a 2 speed pump.
Took it to just under 43K.
I've now asked the PB if we should look at LED's and extending the Tenn Flag coping from 12" to 18" - the pool is surrounded by grass with no decking except the front.
He said the LED's are pretty nice, but only I would know if it was worth the nearly 2k upgrade for 3 of them (1 spa, 2 pool).
He also said to go from the 12" to 18" would cost an extra $1,400, but he didn't comment on wether he thought it was necessary.
What are your thoughts? Are LED's worth it and should I switch to the 18" coping?
Here is a youtube render of the pool so you can see layout and yard. The mountains in the 3d render are MUCH nicer than the mountains in my backyard here in Dallas Texas! :lol:

Thanks for any and all advice!
