I've been reading through countless threads in this forum for a couple years, joining the forum almost a year ago to post a few questions. This site has been great and has helped me sort through what we want and do not want on our dream pool. It has also been entertaining to watch everyone's pool builds over the years. I will try do my part and post lots of pictures and updates of the progress on our pool so others can enjoy and learn from our experience.
So Here We Go!
Short Background story:
My wife and I met on our high school swim team and got married shortly there-after.
After 15 years of talking about a pool and 12 years playing with different designs / saving up our pennies - we are FINALLY beginning our "Back Yard Lap Pool" - (in about 6 hours to be precise).
(I just sent in a supporter donation so hopefully I will be able to start posting pictures before too long once my account gets configured.)
General Specs on the Pool:
Length: 82 Ft. (25 M)
Width: Between 18.5 Ft. and 33.5 Ft.
Depth: Between 1 Ft. 8 In. and 10 Ft.
Volume: ~85K Gal.
Features
Equipment:
2 x Pentair Intelliflo VS Pumps
2 x Pentair Quad DE 100 Filters
2 x Pentair MasterTemp 400K BTU Cupro-Nickel Heaters
1 x Pentair Intelliflo XF Booster Pump (Spa)
1 x QT 2HP Blower (Spa)
1 x Pentair Intellitouch i10+3D
1 x Pentair Mobile-touch Wireless Control
1 x Pentair Screen Logic 2 Wireless Interface
2 x Pentair Valve Actuators
1 x Pentair Intellivalve Actuator
4 x Color Match Superflo 360 Driains
1 x Paramount ParaLevel Auto-Fill
4 x Paramount Venturi Skimmers
7 x Paramount 6" ParaGlo P-Type Color LED Lights
That's it for now. Pictures to follow. Gotta catch some sleep before the excavators are knocking on the door.
