O/B Pool Henderson Nevada..

Re: O/B Henderson Nevada Pool (starting stage)
For all of you people in Vegas looking at doing a pool build - I'm working with a guy who is doing my excavating. He does pools for a living and only really works with owner/builders. So we have been talking and has a list of people (subs) that he works with and recommends, anyway, the prices he's getting from them are lower than the same quotes I received from the same subs.. Plus he is holding their feet to the fire with the work. So far he seems legit and has been nothing but honest and upfront with me. If you want his name then PM me and I'll sent it to you.

Let's talk Spa jets, what is the most used type of connection. What suggestions should I be looking for?

Re: O/B Henderson Nevada Pool (starting stage)
Hi Chop, are you talking about the plumbing connecting the spa jets or the fittings (which you would see that control spray and/or force)?

Re: O/B Henderson Nevada Pool (starting stage)
That is a good question Suz! Making sure we know what he is asking.
Chop I have a pm into some PO that have built pools with spas asking for their input on this.
Just in case it is the ends of the pipes coming out into the spa I found this product:
JetPaks - Paramount Pool and Spas
I have no idea how good they are. There was one build that used these. I am looking for the thread now to remind myself what their thoughts were or to get them to share their thoughts.

Re: O/B Henderson Nevada Pool (starting stage)
Hey Suz, yea I’m talking both. I’d like to know what connection is used, is it a universal type or are they proprietary to each manufacturer. Also what is the best type for inside the spa and what to avoid.
Any help would be great.

Re: O/B Henderson Nevada Pool (starting stage)
Thanks Kim,
Yea being a neophyte with this stuff I’d like to know options so I know how to proceed with the build.
Thanks again.

Re: O/B Henderson Nevada Pool (starting stage)
I’m not sure the name of my jets but I can check. I do know that the nozzle can change directions so you can change the direction of the streams.
I’m not positive but I think most are similar unless you want a super fancy type of nozzle that has a massage type of stream.
I think bdavis will be the best to chime in on this one.
On another note I would love for you to pm me the name of your sub, I have a lot of people contact me and if he’s solid I wouldn’t mind recommending him

Re: O/B Henderson Nevada Pool (starting stage)
The big dig is started. Should be done by Saturday. Next week I’ll be in Peru so the week after comes Plumber, Elec, and Steel.

Re: O/B Henderson Nevada Pool (starting stage)
Let the MUD (well dirt) begin!! Once they say they are done digging go out and measure it all. Add about 8" for the gunite and plaster.

In pool umbrella holder.. let’s talk what you have used....
I’m looking at this: https://santabarbaradesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/SBD_2015-Tearsheets-POOLTUBE.pdf
Is the holder installed with the rebar?
Any suggestions would be great.

I THINK it is installed with the concrete but have never seen one up close like that on. That is nice. I like the cap to go on it. I will do some poking around and see if I can find out for sure.

Make sure to lock the stuff UP!!!Umbrella holders-goes both ways depending on who does it
Some do it in the rebar making sure to be able to move it up and down to make sure it is flush with the poured decking. Some put them in during the pour but still have to make sure it is flush with the decking. SO to me it would be better to put them in before the pour with a small flag marking them so no one missed them as they pour. My thinking is there would be no way to forget to put them in this way. Where if you wait you might forget to put them in until it is too late.
Kim
My holders went in with gunite and they have caps as well. If you do them in decking then they go in with decking but they can also core drill them later. They had to install one of my after decking was done
Pool build update- Plumbing going in and rebar tomorrow while the plumbing is being finished. Pics of rebar tomorrow..
No way bro! My yard is a disaster..... I have so much dirt to get rid of. Hey you want some dirt I got plenty?
