The Old Grove Compact Coastal Pool
This custom residential pool is located in the established Old Grove neighborhood, offering a modern backyard oasis near downtown New Port Richey and the scenic Cotee River. The design is a functional, compact retreat featuring a bright coastal aesthetic and a comprehensive, energy-efficient Pentair equipment suite.
Functional Design and Water Features
The pool is efficiently sized at 24’ x 12’ , with a depth variation from a shallow 3.5 feet to a deep 6 feet , balancing wading space with dedicated swimming depth.
Sunshelf and Relaxation: The pool includes a generous 6’ x 6’ sunshelf complete with an umbrella holder for comfortable, shaded lounging. This area is enhanced by two LED Bubblers that provide subtle water movement and custom lighting at night.
Clean Coastal Finishes
The finish materials were selected to create a bright, contemporary look that echoes the nearby Gulf Coast environment:
Deck and Coping: The entire surround uses durable Flagstone concrete pavers in a clean white/pewter color blend. The pool edge features matching bullnose concrete paver coping , while the deck uses Flagstone Union pavers laid in a T-pattern , providing a non-slip, cohesive, and cool-to-the-touch surface.
Interior Finish: The interior is finished with a Quartz with blue accent aggregate, which creates a classic, brilliant light-blue water color that contrasts beautifully with the white decking.
Waterline Tile: The waterline is accented with NPT VR679 (Verona Borba Turquoise) tile, adding a sophisticated ribbon of shimmering turquoise color to the pool’s edge.
Energy-Efficient Pentair Equipment
The system is powered entirely by a suite of high-efficiency Pentair components, ensuring ease of use and low operating costs:
Circulation and Efficiency: The pool uses the highly efficient Pentair IntelliFlo3 1.5HP variable speed pump and is filtered by a reliable Pentair CC150 Cartridge Filter .
All-Season Comfort: The Pentair UltraTemp 145k BTU Heat Pump provides year-round usability, capable of both heating the pool during cooler months and chilling it during the peak summer heat.
Sanitization and Lighting: Sanitation is automated with the Pentair I-Chlor30 Salt System , providing soft, luxurious water. The pool’s evening ambiance is illuminated by the compact, powerful Pentair GloBrite LED Lights .
This project delivers a complete, modern, and beautiful backyard resort for the Old Grove homeowner.
