They had a crew of 4 to 5 over two days. There is just a ton of tile.

We’re not sure if we love how much yellow is in the spillway, I think if we could do it over again we would have done more silver or clear so it just looks like a natural waterfall.

Alright equipment is in and deck going down! Anyone see anything bad with the equipment setup? Thank you so much.

 

[floridapoolfan]

Decking.

No clue on the equipment, but that deck is beautiful!

The system is backward from most systems where the pipes are in front of the pad.

Seems unnecessarily awkward.

Was looking at that myself and thought if you were to have to dig down to get to more pipe for a fix down the road you'd have 2 problems. Do you move the wall or the pad.

Looking at the plumbing, is there a reason they didn't use 2" to plumb everything?

I had to go out and check and all of the plumbing says 2 inch on it. Maybe the picture angle threw it off. Thank goodness because they quoted 2 inch for everything.

I will have to ask why they did it that way. Thanks for all of the feedback!

It looks nicer from the front and less intruding but that is what I call stuck between a rock and a hard place. Very unconventional to say the least.

Looking good!

Intelli center going in. How’s it looking for the experts out there? He said they put a surge protector in for the equipment. The pool company comes after and does the low voltage items. I also had them run an Ethernet cord just for whatever I may need later. Thanks!!

Personally, I love that yellow! Makes the pool look bright and festive!

Thank you! It is really starting to grow on us now that it is grouted and the deck is down.

 

[JamesW]

Any word on why the plumbing was done like it is?

 

[floridapoolfan]

Today is plaster day! They will be Back tomorrow to acid wash.

 

[kimkats]

SWEET! Now run out there and put a couple of socks on the ends of the hoses. This keeps the metal off the plaster and also filters the water as it comes in. You want the hoses ends to be at the lowest part of the pool to keep channels from forming as it flows out.

Once the water starts to NOT stop it. If you stop it this could cause a ring in the plaster.
