Well, you are well on the way! I know you are excited! Keep the pics coming!

I am sorry to see the flex pvc used for the suctions (main drain and skimmer) this is a problem that will happen down the road...maybe 1 year maybe 15 years,but sooner or later they will give you fits

I didn't know anyone used flex pvc anymore.

Building a pool? Need some input. Look at my website for ideas www.wallengren.nu The website is still under construction but will be filled with pictures and the story how I built our pool.

Here is a link that might be useful: How I Build A Swimming Pool

We are swimming. I will post new pics and details soon.

11000 gallon free form 85 linear feet
3.5 ft to 5.5 ft to 4 ft
Intelliflow
Intellibrite
Lars Heater
60 sq ft DE Pentair filter
Polaris 280
Challenger Pump for the water feature
Tahoe Blue Diamond Brite
Stamped concrete coping
Cooldeck

Congrats on the new pool.
You"ll soon find out what pool ownership is all about.
It's a lot more than just the swimming.
Almost anything you do indoors is even better poolside!!!
Your mechanicals are the best of the best. I'm certain that you'll achieve maximum performance with a minimum of maintenance

See ya,
Kelly

Thanks Kelly. It is good to hear that from you. I know you are well respected on here. I let the pool builder select everything but the Intelliflo. I had read so many good things about them on this forum that I really pushed for it. We (pool builder and myself) are still learning the Intelliflo. It needs a name since it almost seems human.
I actually enjoy the brushing at the moment. The neighborhood kids love it. My eight year old is a water bug.
Now, the outdoor kitchen needs completing. That is my project on the patio. I hope to have it completed soon. It is nothing like what you have, but it will be sufficient. Yours is a super nice setup.
