DIY 20 x 40 in Watson Louisiana

[Sseaman]

I did not use any vac on mine and filled off the house water, and we didn't have liner over the steps. I only ran the water when I was around so we could keep the wrinkles out.

Yes a regular shop vac. No steps and just used a water hose.

Pool is filled and plumbing is done. Working on getting the water right and back fill next week.

No the fill pic was taken yesterday. I get a pic of the pump pad and then as I go ill add anything I do. I still need to plumb the deck jests before I can back fill. Thank you all for the positive comments

Good job b! More pics!!!

When does your decking go in and what are you going to do with it? Stamped? Kooldeck?

JJ Im going to back fill next week when I have a few days off then Im going to let it settle for a month of so. Ill pour concrete with a broom finish. Kool deck may be down the road but we will see what the wifey wants to do.

Pool looks great. One pointer on the deck jets is make sure you are there when the concrete is poured, mark the location of each and make sure they are uncovered when deck is finished. One of mine got stepped on the day of the pour and ended up an inch below the concrete deck. We got two done then the broken pool return line in the middle of the deck pour focused our attention in another direction. Keep up the great job. I start work on the pool house this week.

Rented a bobcat and did the back fill. I'm planning on letting it settle for a few months then pouring the deck. View attachment 32739View attachment 32740

I like the deck jets we did those as well. I was surprised how noisy the water was.

 

[bckcx2]

Yea seaman they are a lot louder than I thought they would be

Back filled with gravel? Dirt?

How'd you do your deck jets...did Royal sell you a kit? Or you just plumbed it yourself? I assume they're plumbed into your return line and just switch a valve and bring them on line?

Pool looking good...can't wait for the decks!

 

[bckcx2]

Back filled with dirt and I'm going to let it set for a couple months. I bought the jets separately and used a 3 way jandy valve for them and the returns. I ran a complete loop around the pool and put one in each corner that way they all have the same pressure.
