Hi, I need to choose 8 jets for my Spa that I am building - built in gunite spa. Looking for something tried and tested but more upmarket than the original styled ones. I know this is very subjective but any guidance would be appreciated. I now understand that there is a housing that is built...

Leaning towards Waterway poly jet body assemblies - Waterway Poly Jet Body - 211-5860 I believe I can then choose the jet insert and change them out.

Thanks Mark. Just to follow from your advice -I will be getting a new single speed 1.5Hp pump for the 8 jets. Will this suffice ?

I hear you. It is going to have to wait. 2 months wait ! Thanks BigE.

Any pool builders that can advise whether it is possible to expose the side of the pool in the photo while it is still full: I know it may sound crazy. I am waiting for winter here (kids want to swim until the last of the season) to drain the pool and do the necessary changes. However I...

Thanks for the comments. That design is actually a US design and is 2 32" opposing channel outlets with 3 ports per channel. Thought it may be overkill though. Triptyx - I hear you. Did not think about cleaning and algae. Would be a problem. Think I will do away with the 2 drains and maybe put...

I am building in a spa bath with overflow into the pool. I started my discussion in the under construction forum ( https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/132853-Update-of-Pool-and-Surround-in-Africa ) but did not get too much comment so was directed over here. Hopefully I am in the right place...

Phew. That would have saved me some time. Thought I was getting too old for technology like my Dad !! Thanks Kim - - - Updated - - - Is there anyone to weight in on the Spa bath ideas or are they just crazy ?

Thanks for the response and advice pooldv. I am normally very good with computer related stuff but for the life of me I cannot get this picture thing right here. I have tried so many options. Tried another photo in Photobucket and used "Insert Image". When I am logged in to my profile it works...

Maybe another question would get some help : I am building in a spa bath with overflow into the pool. I have found a website http://aquamagazine.com/builder/state-of-the-art-spa-details.html There are some interesting ideas here with the tow kick and recessed suction outlets. I would...

Have tried to post the pics for viewing inside this post but to no success. Here is a pic of the build site : As you can see the pool is old. Pretty much the same perspective as in the first pic on this thread. You can see behind the potted plants the blocks I am using to mock up for the spa...

My first question would be about 1 pump or 2 pumps. As can be seen from this screen shot from below the equipment is on one end of the pool while the solar collector plumbing is on the other end all together. Approximately 80 feet apart and because the room sits below the pool the bottom of the...

Very nice lay out. Congrats.

Thank you all ! Thanks for the suggestion Jim but the pool is actually not a new build. It is existing as per the shallow end and deep end. I will be adding the 2 side steps and re-guniting or fiberglassing over the old gunite :confused: I have tried to read as much about the choice of gunite vs...

Hi All, Never built a pool before but have put a lot of research into ideas and plumbing. This site has been the best source with lots of detail, discussion and photos. Thanks to all that post their problems, questions and solutions. It is a source of learning for all far and wide. Like I...

I want to lay down some pipe for future installation of solar roof panels. Please can I have advice on whether these pipes should be 2" or 2 1/2" ? The heated water will primarily be pumped into the spa with overflow into the pool when spa not in use. The installation of the panels will be on...

In the process of rebuilding my pool that was originally built in the 70's I presume. Was searching the web for guidance and this forum kept popping up with great results, photos and technical detail. I have joined and I think this forum is really going to help me work with my limited skill PB...
