If the floor return was switched to a wall return.... The water depth is 10" so what do you mean by "running it a little deeper"? What wall of the shelf would you put the wall return?

The difference in our shelf is that it is offset from the main body of the pool. We think the circulation of the main pool may bypass the sun shelf or only clear the portion within a few feet of the main circulation pattern.

Prevailing wind is from the southeast....I added a wind arrow on the plan view. If skimmer should not be in the corner where would you put it? Our primary concern is keeping the sun shelf clear of debris. Should a wall return be used instead of a floor return? Is one return enough to clear the...

Please comment on the plans below for the placement of the following on this proposed pool: Three wall returns One floor return 1 proposed skimmer (N) 1 optional skimmer (S) One concern is how to keep the sun shelf clear. Water depth on the sun shelf is 10". Any other comments are welcome.

Thanks for the input Drew. How would you determine flow rates if not by turnover calcs? Also, any comments on the Intelliflo3 VSF instead of the IntellifloXF VSF? What Pentair equipment qualify for the Intelli-bundles?

AJW, thanks for the response. There is no spa. Would you know the model numbers of the pumps you recommended?

Please help me determine the best combination of Pentair products, especially the natural gas heater and the variable speed pump, for the following new pool build. Here is some data: Pool Volume 14,604 gallons Flow Rates 14,604 Total gallons with 2 Turnovers per day. 24hr/Day run time - Flow...

I have have a Zero salt reading on automation but all other lights are green and good to go. Called my pool builder and they sent the following troubleshooting info form Pentair. INTELLICHLOR TROUBLESHOOTING No Lights on Cell – First check fuse. Second check power going to the transformer you...

Here are some specs I received from Pentair on the Lumens, color temperature, and beam shape for their various lights.

Here is the latest revision to the plumbing design. The pump is a variable speed. The bubblers bypass the SWCG because of the high flow required (30 GPM per bubbler). Each bubbler is individually supplied to control the plume. The suction side is one skimmer (2 1/2"), one main drain (2...

Walking up the steep slope of preparing a construction contract for an in-ground pool in Florida, I encountered Florida's Construction Lien Law. I am not a lawyer, however I have been a general building contractor for many years and have some practical experience with lien laws, albeit not in...

Mark, Could you respond to the remarks below? Here is the data for the bubblers, in my case, with 6" of cover. What do you think happens at 20 GPM with a 1/2" nozzle? [attachment=0:14hgd05n]Capture.JPG[/attachment:14hgd05n]

Is it worth the expense to put the solar fittings in as part of the original design or can it be added easily later? I suppose one disadvantage of installing it initially is the additional head loss without the benefit of the solar heat. I have seen conflicting opinions on splitting the...

Below is my attempt at detailing the pump pad diagram for the pool in this thread. Comments are welcome and appreciated.

According to wind roses for historical data they are. The following led me to use two skimmers and a main drain. There is a wide disparity in potential flow rates The sun shelf combined with the stairs and bubblers may create unusual circulation patterns. Main drain may enhance more even...
