This is the pump model/make used in the Glacier. The graph is what came up when I did a search.

@JamesW This was good info to read. Just a follow up question. The glacier chiller uses a sump pump to return the chilled water. So in their new build installation manual they have you install a dedicated chiller return line at deepest part of pool floor bottom. It’s actually the power of the...

@sll0037 Hey there! I am the individual @Schwimmbad mentioned in the previous posts about Glacier chiller. Here is a snippet of text from my email correspondence with them “Account for 5 feet in head loss for each 90 degree turn. Which means the flow will not totally get there. Every turn you...

It’s come a long way and looking great. Sending well wishes your way for your surgery!

Monster Power is the name that consistently pops up in the Phoenix area for best pricing on pool equipment. So what you have is probably going to be the best.

@AZRider for most the cities in Phoenix metro electric work that will need to be done for the pool equipment will have a separate permit that the electrician will file (if required)

@bdavis466 thanks so much for this and the pool eng link! What is usually used as a bond breaker or slip joint for cantilevered deck applications?

I appreciate you taking the time to chime in. I don’t yet have my pool plans. I’m still finalizing my design but continue to go back to this raised deck with overhang as a want to have. I also don’t know if I should expect the individual that I would be using for my pool plans to have this...

Referring to the deck structure overhanging the bond beam and covered in wood look tile. Just trying to see if anyone knows how that would be constructed.

@ajw22 I’ll likely take a drive out again to examine more closely under the lip of the overhang. If it ends up being poured could the overhang part be formed at the time of shotcrete since it’s all going to be tiled?

Could anyone out there that is more familiar with pool construction techniques be able to tell me how this raised patio is constructed. This is a pool at a model home that I really liked a lot and I want to replicate the raised patio with my OB. The raised patio has an overhang of 3-4” on the...

Hey AZ Rider! If you are interested in having a set of pool plans completed I would highly recommend Justin Rockwell. He uses the professional pool design software and the plans are perfect for submitting permits and giving to the trades for price quoting and building (includes CAD, plumbing...

The age parameter looks to fall under an Arizona Revised Statute 36-1681 under D7 https://www.azleg.gov/ars/36/01681.htm#:~:text=A%20swimming%20pool%2C%20or%20other,as%20provided%20in%20this%20section.

@Schwimmbad Keep the photos coming. Love the progress. I’m not sure the specific city of Buckeye pool fence/barrier code but in Goodyear if you don’t have a child under the age of 6 living in the home you do bot need the sliding door/window self latching/alarms Gate into the back yard either...

Consider going deeper for the shallow and deep ends. If you’re going owner build route it’s really not much more expensive. 3.5’ you can’t really swim/wade in without scraping your knees as an adult. Your body is also more than halfway out the water when standing. Recommendation is 4’ minimum...

Question for my own curiosity. I know R is likely return and SK for skimmer but what are the pipes for the ones labeled INF, the two between both SK, and the two to the right of the second SK (looks maybe like a V and F)? Thank you!

I’m excited to watch this build progress

Also in Phoenix. What were your quotes in the range of? For your baja shelf the 5’ length would not accommodate a lounge ledger if that is something you might want in the future. It would work on the 7’ side but then there would be zero spacing between if you have two of them. If you can make...

Very exciting. Also in Goodyear. Looking forward to the updates.

Dig looks nice! Can’t wait to see this progress

Hey Time2Relax, Fellow West Valley’er. The pool building market has shifted quite a bit in the last few months. The subs are actually sitting around for work. Your ability to get them scheduled shouldn’t be a problem in the fall. I think fears of where the economy is going have people...

Stay away from Lakeside Pools. There are current horror stories going around with that specific company. Might also consider going the owner build route and saving $$$$

They should pre-grade the entire yard so that when it’s finished and all hard scape surfaces installed it’s level with the opening to the backyard.

If you go the owner build route you will find you can get a lot more pool for a lot less. I wouldn’t splurge on in floor cleaning. A robotic pool cleaner will be superior to in floor cleaning. Since you’re in AZ there are a handful of local CAD designers who you can hire to put together your...

Commenting to follow along your build.

Hi there, Here are some excavating companies in Phx area that I recently had quotes. Tom Nichols actually did a site visit for theirs Curiel (does rebar and excavating) https://curielrebar.com/ Tom Nicohols https://tomnicholsexcavating.com/ Google is also super helpful to get other companies...
