I am building an 18 x 60 pool. Excavation is done. Now onto plumbing.

Hi All. Pool is dug. Now onto plumbing. For anyone that is reading this as they contemplate doing an owner build pool, I will share tips as I go. Lessons learned after excavation: Know your pool elevation! Confirm that at least one member of the crew sent speaks English. Confirm whether taxes...

Hello. Is there anyone here who can help confirm what the pool elevation should be set to? I have received mixed information. We intend to use 1.5" stone pavers for coping and the same pavers on top of the existing concrete patio. The coping company suggests the elevation should be +1.5" and the...

Hello. I have seen that Pentair Microbrites are most often recommended in this group, but even these can fail frequently and replacing them isn't an easy task as all the wiring back to the transformer needs to be replaced. These Brilliant lights came up in my search for a better product. Has...

Hi Maddie. Right now we have a dirt lot so every window is equally dirty 🤣 I found a website online and just edited my post at the same time you commented. Can you please look at it again and tell me if I am reading it correctly? If my yard (top of the drawing) faces North, where would the ideal...

Hello! I read quite a few posts that talk about prevailing wind in relation to skimmer placement. How would one know what direction that is? Thank you! Edit: I found this website online. If this is my closest airport, does this suggest my prevailing wind is SE?

Hello. I am next door in Queen Creek doing owner build.

Thanks!

Hi Jim, I looked at the Pentair IC60 and it looks to be double the price of this other brand. Do you have any feedback on this? https://www.inyopools.com/Products/44401374084372.htm

Thanks, Jim. I had one plumber recommend 2 of everything (two pumps, two filters, two vac lines, two skimmers). I am not sure if I actually need all that or he is just trying to sell me on stuff. Do you think I need two of everything? I was considering putting in two 4 or 5 ft sheer descents on...

Thank you. @Jimrahbe can you please tell me all the equipment you would recommend with this pool size?

Yes we want to do automation, but I don't know what. I am completely lost when it comes to pool equipment. I have heard Intellicenter a lot.

Thank you! It will be roughly 32k gallons. Do you recommend any specific make and model?

Hi Jim. The pool will have an average depth of around 4 ft so roughly 32k gallons. Is there a SWG that would work for this size? Would I need to get two? I'm really confused on this and pool equipment generally for a pool of this size.

Hello - We are building a 18' x 60' pool. Will a heat pump and chiller be effective for a pool this size? Can you please recommend specific models? Thank you!

Hello - can someone please tell me whether a SWG will work for a 18' x 60' pool? I spoke to a pool plumber today who said she was unsure whether it would be effective. Advice needed. Thank you!

Thank you. Does a bubbler affect ph as much as the sheer descent / scrapper / rainfall?

Thank you! I see you are in the industry. Do you ever recommend a smaller shelf at step 1 with a larger shelf at step 2?

Thanks for sharing! Is the height on the initial 4 ft steps different than the other 3 steps? Did you do a heat pump / chiller combo? Or separate equipment for both? Did you tie your auto fill to softened water? Are your side by side benches at two different depths or is that just showing a...

Honestly - just for resale. We've never had one before so aren't dead set on it. Our pool is big enough that we can lose the space for the baja shelf. In our area everyone recommends one - whether for looks or lounging, not too sure. My kids are middle school age and won't really be playing on...

Please excuse my ignorance. Is the brighter section deeper or more shallow?

Hello, Can you please share the baja shelf depth you have in your pool and whether you are happy with it or regret it? We are mostly swimmers / standers so not entirely sure how much use we will get out of the baja, but it seems to be very much in demand in our area so are getting it added for...

Wow! Those are pricey!! They look awesome though! I haven't inquired yet about the linear fire features I have in my drawing, but I saw some basic linear fire stubs (not sure offficial name) online and figured they might be cheaper to add in than buying separate bowls. Thank you so much for...

Hello! Does anyone know what kind of edge this is?
