What kind of pool are you building ? Vinyl,F ibreglass, or Gunite?

Congrates Mr Caciolo.

For tanning shelves I usually go 6"-8" For the skimmers you could just put both on the house side and place the returns on the away side to get e verything moving in the right direction. You could also go with front load skimmers and put them how you want. Doen side of the front load is...

I am not going to take anything away from an engineer. I have met some that I thaought were crazy and their concepts have worked and made me eat me words.. I have also met some that I am astonished that are still in the bussiness. I know one that is spent some time in jail for Reckless...

Afew more!

I don't want to start a flame war here BUT!!!! I would seriously consider looking for a new engineer. As an excavator in the industry for 12 years, I did exactly what you are proposing almost 100 times in my career. I saw a wall built the way your engineer is proposing and that wall is now...

In some places it requires a licence to run sewer lines. That might be the case in your area

Here is my take on A&S anywhere in the country. I am in Atlanta and I worked as a sub for A&S from 96- 06. I hated to dig for them. The lies that were told and the promises made were sometimes borderline criminal. Someone is going to chime in here and say they are different in different...

Take a 5 gal bucket and fill it half full. Mark the waterline with a sharpie and set the bucket next to the pool. Mark your tile inside the pool. check the 2 after a couple of days. If the bucket has lost an inch so should your pool.

If I may, Who is building your pool?

The PCCC is typically anly offered to registered builders. Paramount only allows a small number of builders in an area to install the PCCC. I am not sure about their other models.

On that size of a pool and it being a pool only a 1 hp pump would turn it over in 8 hours. The benefits of a variable or 2 speed pump comes into play if they were to add a water feature or Spa so you can "ramp" up the hp to get good flow out of your jets or sheers or whatever. They are quoting...

With a pool only there is no need for a variable speed pump. Typically Shotcrete or Gunite is around 4,500 psi. That heater is small for a larger pool like that especially for your climate. Is there no deck aorund the pool?

If you were in the North I would say that you may want to investigate the benefits of keeping the 2 separate in order to use the spa in the winter while the pool is winterized. Since you are in Texas I don't see the benefits and would just want 1 set of equipment to run both. Less parts to...
