We too got a couple of big Pygmys (4 and 5 stem) from Home Depot for about the same price and also thought it was a good deal. Unfortunately they are more susceptible to cold temps and high winds so their palms turned brown on the ends from a couple nights of cold temps and Santa Ana winds back in December but they are coming back now.

A great trick to protect them from cold temperatures is putting Christmas lights in them. Not the LED but the 'old fashioned' ones that emit heat.

Couple of updated pictures from last summer. The boys and the dog love the pool! Well, we all do!
Some fun with the gushers. Variable speed pump at full speed and plugging two of the three jets = HUGE fountain
Yeah we're happy! I'll try to remember to update this thread every summer!

How many galloons is your pool? Also, how many LED lights do you have?
It looks great!
It looks great!
I estimate it around 37K gallons. We have 2 LED lights.

I love the color of your pool. It has that natural spring Hamilton Pool TX look to the water.
Ah yes I remember this pool... This is the one that made me fall in love with sand coloured pools.... I just love the water colour....
Thanks everyone! We can't wait for the warmer weather!

Gorgeous rendering! What program are you using?
From a design perspective I would soften the curves on the right side( as seen on the of the screen) of the pool. Maybe instead of those 2 small curves, make it one larger softer curve... I think that would look more natural. They are too symetrical to each other. Does that make sense???

Kind of.. The pool was completed almost a year ago [emoji23]

Love the pic looking out of your bedroom at paradise!! Great job! Is that a Rhodesian Ridgeback I see in a couple of the pics? If so, how does he/she like the water? Mine despises it. lol
Thanks. Yeah that's our Ridgeback! He used to hate the water. But over the season he started to go into the water more and more. He also uses it as his water bowl! We also have two miniature dachshunds who jump onto the sun shelf to cool off.
