Today we signed the papers to begin the swimming pool construction. I'll be sure to update with pictures often, so for now let's everyone wish for lots of sunshine and dry weather. They will start excavation as soon as it's dry enough not to tear up the rest of the yard. For those of you who just can't wait for the details, here's the specs:
18'x36' in ground, rectangle, vinyl liner pool (I know, I hate vinyl, but gunite bids came in at nearly 1/3 the cost of our house!)
Liner will be a dark blue/black to look like a lagoon
cantilever concrete deck - either colored or textured
diving board
variable speed pump which saves 30%-90% energy over a standard pump
DE filter which allows for water savings - no backwashing of filter required
LED color changing underwater light
and a Mineral Purification System called Smart Green - which means no burning eyes from chlorine!
Check back soon for links to all of these eco-pool options!
