New Pool build in SoCal

[dr.dirty]

Hey guy we finally after 4 months started up our new pool last week. We are pretty excited to get it all balanced out and ready for this summer.

Its a pretty basic Spa/Pool combo. Were are looking into a small automation system as our PB didn't do a great job of offering or selling us upgrades. We have a small amount of concrete work left to be completed them we can have the landscaping done.

Some build pics of the process

Decking complete. I thought I had more photos of the prep for the decking but I seem to have lost them.

Pebble Tec time!

Fill and start up

Had the rest of the concrete poured yesterday. Time to move on to some landscaping.

Few more small updates. We had a small block wall built around the Filter equipment and turf installed. We also added a Pentair EasyTouch system and couldn't be happier.

I should have added the automation during the build but it sadly was just not in the budget. Our pool is very simple so we added the Pentair PSL4 with screen logic installed for right at 1300. So im pretty happy with that and it will fit our needs just fine.

Is that artificial turf or is your grass just that perfect?

Its artificial turf lol. We tried years ago to keep real grass growing here in the desert and quickly realized it was way to difficult to keep green.

Your pool turned out beautiful. I like the hardscape, turf and the fact you have the pool isolated for safety. And absolutely love the drone photo. Well done!

Looks great! You gonna jump in? Water's probably...what...about 50 degrees.

I would build a cover over the equipment also. Maybe something that lifts up when you run the heater. Desert sun can be brutal on equipment.

Congrats!
