First, thank you to the folks in this community who so willingly share information and pictures. I have been lurking here and educating myself. I am in located in the middle part of Georgia and have decided on a pool builder, who is in the process of sending me a contract. I am more than comfortable with the company and have received lots of positive feedback from several people who have used them.
I welcome any helpful suggestions as we move forward. I will be posting pictures of the build, which we expect to begin the end of February. Here are the basics:
• 700 sq ft Shotcrete Pool - Saltwater
• Wet Edge Pearl Matrix Pebble finish (asked for a different sand-colored finish on tanning ledge)
• 6x6 Basic Ceramic Tile
• 14in flagstone coping around perimeter of pool (I know it requires sealing each year but want a natural look)
• 25' long 18in tall drystack wall w 3 2' sheer descents
• Tanning ledge – 16’7” long & 5’10” wide (at its widest point)
• 3 steps total – 2 off of each side of the tanning ledge and one in deep-end off of in-pool bench
• 2 in-pool benches – a 7’2” bench coming off of the tanning ledge and another in the deep end of the pool (with the steps)
• 3 led bubblers in tanning ledge (+ 2 umbrella holes)
• 1000 sq ft salt rock concrete or spraydeck around pool perimeter
• jumping rock
• remote for pool
• Pentair Sand Filter and Pool Pump – ***We ultimately decided to go with one main variable speed pump with an additional booster pump for the water features***
• 2 Pentair Iintellabrite LED pool lights (choosing not to have additional LED lights on tanning ledge or elsewhere. I want color-changing ambience, but I am concerned that too much nighttime light will attract the bugs we have in this part of Georgia)
• 2 sets of Shallow End Steps and Deep End Swimout
• Pentair Legend Pressure Side Cleaner with Booster Pump
• Vacuuming Equipment (Includes: Vacuum, Vac Pole, Vac Plate and Hose)
• Maintenance and Vacuuming Equipment & Start-Up Chemicals
• 30 AMP Hookup from existing service from house up to 50 ft (placed on a concrete pad)
I am happy to post an initial picture of the backyard (currently in a light blanket of snow) and the design, but want to make sure I 1) conform to forum norms - do I add to Photobucket or attach to post?, and 2) and be respectful of the PB and his creating a design (think it’s OK to publish his Pool Studio design, but not dimensions? I don’t know.)
