My wife and I built a new home four years ago and have wanted to build a pool since we moved in. Around the same time we were building the house we were referred to a pool builder and have since developed a solid relationship and we really like them. We almost pulled the trigger a couple years ago, but wanted to pay off some debt and save up some cash. Having done that, we decided to move ahead with the pool. We have pretty much nailed down our design and are planning on digging and shooting it in the fall and then finishing it as soon as possible in the spring.
We are going with a 20x40 rectangle with a 9x18 sun shelf on the side and a 9x7 raised hot tub. This will give us a lazy L shaped pool totalling 1,025 square feet. We like the clean, straight lines of the rectangle and feel it matches the architecture of our house well and fits our backyard and the side entry of the sun shelf will work well with the flow of our yard in regards to how we will be using the space. When researching design, we found one pool that we really liked and we kept coming back to that concept so that is what we are basing our design on. I have included some photos.
Our builder uses Hayward equipment and also the Paramount in floor cleaning system or the Eco Pool system if the customer chooses to go that route. We definitely want to go with the full compliment of automation and are considering the in floor cleaning system. We also would like to use the most energy efficient pump we can and are considering an ozone system on top of the salt chlorine generator.
Does anyone have any experience with the Paramount in floor cleaning system, ozone purification, or the Eco Pool system? If so, honest feedback would be appreciated. We are leaning towards the Wet Edge signature matrix finish and would be interested in hearing feedback on that as well. Any other tips, and info would be greatly appreciated as well.
Here are some pics of our inspiration pool. We are staying true to the general concept but making some changes. The hot tub in this pool is 12x10 and is way too big for our needs so we made ours 9x7. We put some steps in the sun shelf, but otherwise our design is very similar.
