Thank you 1poolman1 - "as the in-floor distribution valve opens and closes ports, the flow can vary considerably (actually nearly a dead-dead condition very briefly) and would, likely, cause the heater to cycle on and off continually" I am not sure I follow. So the in floor cleaning system has...

Thank ajw22 - So adding additional flow of heated water will not = faster heating time as BTU remain the same. I think I follow. So the current pop up valves although they are not putting out hot water it still circulates the water in the pool for an even ten across the pool ?

Hello DavidArmenB - actually that is exactly what he said but I am not sure I understand why the issue with filtered water. Would it not be the same ? Is it because unfiltered water will damage the pool heater?

Here are additional pics Hello HermanTX - appreciate the response. I am not an expert but will do my beat to answer. I am not sure on why the BP used two different pumps to draw suction from the same pipe or why the waterfall is connected to the main filter pump. Does it make a difference if I...

I recently purchased and had a new heater install. My question is, I have two pumps. One feeds the pool and the other the infloor cleaning system. The pool heater sends hot water to the wall jets and the water falls. I asked the pool builder why I do not have the in floor pop up valves throw hot...

I am about to start construction on new pool. While going over details with PB we came across the light swicth location. The options are to run conduit to a column or wall the sits on the outside porch. I am concern about the look and functionality. If I want to turn my pool light I need to go...

I appreciate the feedback. I will talk to PB and see what would be the cost of extending. What do you think is the ideal length?

We are on the initial phase. Could I get your opinion on the lay out? This is a simple build with some water feature. Gunite construction and I included dimensions.

Appelbe, I am building in Katy tx- could you give an insight to you builder and cost. You have a beautiful pool. Could you inbox me? Thank you!

ozdiver, No tree removal. It is a flat surface. Gunite would be my choice with pebble sheen. Depth 31/2 to 51/2. The area around the pool would be small. No heating needed. The rest I am flexible. No fire pit .
