My wife and I have been dreaming of a pool ever since we built our house in 2010. We had a 400 amp electric meter installed and designed our septic tank and leach field so a pool would fit behind our house. In January of this year we finally made the decision to do it. Her parents had a 20x40 vinyl pool that we spent our last high school and all of college years swimming in. We knew we wanted a similar size. Out of 4 pool builders we talked with, only 3 actually gave us quotes, the 4th seemed like we were bothering him and I gave up on him after a month. We finally picked our pool builder based on the design and responsiveness in the design process and so far they have been great. Our sales rep/designer came to our house multiple times with his computer and spent hours with me tweaking the design to our liking. They have been very flexible and have allowed me to make changes pretty much at will. They truly seem to have "the customer is always right" attitude. So here are the details
Pool type: inground free form concrete pool with tanning ledge, all Jandy equipment
Pool Size: 46x22 at its longest and widest 4 ft shallow end, 7 ft deep end 9 in on tanning ledge
Coping: Ivory Travertine
Pool Deck, stamped and colored concrete
Water Features(We went a little overboard here): 3 sheer descents, 2 bubblers on tanning ledge, 3ftx3ftx15ft waterfall with jumping rock in middle
2 gas fire bowls on either side of the waterfall
1 gas fire pit beside pool
4 nichless LED lights(one on the tanning ledge)
Spa: 10ft x 7ft, 14 jets, 13ft spill over, 1 nichless LED light
Pumps: (3) 2.7 HP variable speed pumps, all are model VSSHP270AUT
Spa blower: model PSB220
Filter: Cartridge Filter CV580
Control/Automation: I Aqualink RS-PS12, Power center model number 6614AP-L
Salt System: Fusion Soft 1400
Heater 1: 400k btu propane gas heater model JXI400P (for quickly heating the spa and pool)
Heater 2: 132K btu heat pump model JE3000TR (for maintaining pool during start and end of season)
equipment pad is 14x3.5ft
I think thats about it for the Pool, Now the pool house/pavilion
50x28 total size, metal construction with all metal wrapped in cedar. We are big Disney World fans so if you have ever been we are going for the Wilderness Lodge look/feel.
30x28 sitting / dining area with wood burning fireplace.
20x17 outdoor U shaped kitchen,
20x11 bathroom/storage room/changing room.
Today is Gunite Day! I am watching them work on the tanning ledge right now as I am typing this. I have plenty of pictures during the build process that I will add. If you see anything crazy let me know. We just added the heat pump to the equipment list this week. We just had our 325 gallon propane tank filled this week and it is 2.00 / gallon. Our electric rate is $0.10/kw. From my calculations and the research I have done hear I think the heat pump will be worth it over using the gas heater to maintain the pool during april/may and september/october.
