Hello Everyone at TFP,
I want to introduce myself. I’m Tony and I live in the Baldwin Hills area of Los Angeles. I’ve been on TFP for about a month just soaking in as much knowledge as possible, looking at the amazing pool builds, and trying to get ideas for my upcoming build. Every single neighbor on my block has a pool, so I’ve had a lot of “pool envy” for the 4 years I’ve lived in this neighborhood. And now it’s official, I am finally getting my own pool! I’ve signed my contract and I’m waiting for my Grading Pre-Inspection, since I live in the hills. Fortunately, I am at the top of the crest of the hill and my backyard is relatively flat, so my PB doesn’t think that will be an issue. Once GPI is signed off, I should get my permit within a week, and start digging within 10 days of that. With that said, I should have a big hole in my backyard before the first of May.
My pool is an IG 17k gallons, 12’ x 38’ rectangle (mainly for swimming laps) with a raised Spa (7 Jets and 1 GloBrite) with Spillway and gas fire feature at one end, and a small reef shelf (with lighted Bubbler) for my dogs. The depth is 4-6-4. My proposed equipment is as follows:
Pentair IntelliFlo VS Pump
Pentair 420 Clean and Clear Filter
Pentair 400K BTU Master Temp
Pentair IntelliChlor IC 40 w/Easy Touch PSL4 Bundle
ScreenLogic 2 Interface and Wireless Kit
Pentair IntelliPH Acid Delivery
3 GloBrite LED Color Changing Lights in pool
White Plaster Finish
Natural Grey Pre-cast Coping
1 Waterway Skimmer
2 Drains
I am seriously considering artificial turf instead of concrete or pavers. Since my pool will take up 75% of my backyard, I don’t want to fill it with a lot of hardscape. (A small yard is one of the drawbacks of living in the city.)
I already made the change with my PB from the IC 20 to the IC 40 based on what I’ve learned here. Any other recommendations or considerations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
