Thank you for sharing CUTiger, I am in the middle of my pool build and I am putting in (in-floor) returns as well. I was just checking around just to make sure I wasn't half crazy for placing them there on the bottom as well. I am feeling a tad more confident I am doing the correct configuration...

Your Pool Is looking amazing and is going to be Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing all your pictures with us, especially your plumbing. I love looking at them it looks like a work of art. Very well done.

No I am not committed to having three skimmers, Rudy said I needed 3 at the begging so I said okay! But you bring up an excellent point, and i will certainly reconsider. - - - Updated - - - lol! Just for You!

Well after after the 4th day of digging out dirt and clay they were finally ready to start pulling on the buried rebar from under all that mud! My LANDs! It budged just a little, we will be working on it more today! One step at a time! Thank you all for your care and thoughts honesty it's...

I am so thrilled to have Daniel, He knows everything about pools. He is so Stuck with me! lol We have a little language barrier to the point we almost speak in sigh language! But his wife is our amazing go between! We get along so well! Rudy was so hot- headed all the time he zapped the joy out...

Your so right, I will go over everything and have the gunite crew do the same so hopefully we will catch any and all errors. As far as plumbing, I am working on it I was a little destracted and I know tomorrow they want to start working on the plumbing. Rudy who was ignoring the whole issue (so...

So are you running two completely separate systems? One for your pool and then one for your water features? I am in the midst of figuring mine out, so I am just wondering. Thanks

Yes it is, or will be eventually ~ - - - Updated - - - I think You are correct~ I went with the equalizer!

Well I have been facing a few challenges to say the least. Where the wall was caving in, it finally went rebar and all! It is a mess. My sub-contractor was more then disappointing, I think it was so overwhelming for him, he said, "well I am done with my rebar that's your mess to figure out"...

Minimonster, I appreciate you taking the time and passing on the information on that website~ what a great wealth of information! I'm relishing in all his knowledge, I know it will be an excellent benefit to me in my build. You are certainly correct pertaining to the pro's and con's of o/b and...

Hi Minimonster17, Just out of curiosity, what was the pvc pipe running through the excavation site? An irrigation line? That pipe was exactly as you thought, a pipe from the sprinkler system. Well what use to be our irrigation system, lol! Have you jumped into the future pool yet, lol...

Congratulations! I too have a Big hole in my backyard!! LOL We did rebar over the past week we have been in and out of rain. Which has been a total bummer for us! And more rain in the forecast coming tomorrow! Hope the weather holds up for you and you get your gunite done as soon as possible if...

Very Cool! Thanks for taking the time to share this with me in a big way~ I am on my way to read it right now, I am so captivated to see how that system was put together~ and thank you for the vote of confidence on the pool! : )

ComputerGuy, Thank you immensely for providing that link to the Hayward C-6. Hmmm That sounded good until I read your second comment, lol. You make a great point regarding having the two, if one fails I would always have a back up. Okay now what?? - - - Updated - - - Jblizzle, So you think...

Glock, You crack me up~~~ since I am being the o/b my husband just keeps letting it grow. And truthfully it's grown since I have posted ~ my lands I have three kids, with two of them being Teenagers in High School I think they have already invited the whole school over! I am not even kidding...

gwegan, Thank you immensely for mentioning the pump in the kitchen area! Ugh! I never thought of place one in the their before! It has indeed been added on the to do list unequivocally. What a lifesaver you were 100% on that suggestion. Especially when it's raining outside I would have been...

Re: Didn't learn how to build Pool's in Law School but I'm going to give it my Best! Hi Computer Guy, I'm trusting now you can see my pictures alas, it took a meager trial and error but I eventually figured out the magic. Anyway, I have a question for you regarding the IC60 plumbing set...

Our Excavation ~was a Three Day adventure.! I am not really sure how many pictures you all want to see, don't want to overload anyone. I think my son has talked her in to coming in! The cut out for the grotto, slide area~ It's SO BIG AND DEEP!! It's a tad...

Re: What kind of Skimmer's do I need to put in my Gunite Pool? Equalizer or Not? Thank you Mark for your reply, Yes I am putting in two main drains. And We have no trees to speak of in our backyard! It's pretty bare in the backyard. I feel at least now with all this information I can move on...

Re: What kind of Skimmer's do I need to put in my Gunite Pool? Equalizer or Not? Thank you Corleone, I have seen those covers that your taking about and they are so attractive looking. I can see why you would stay away from the Pentair skimmers, just for that reason alone. That in itself is...

Re: What kind of Skimmer's do I need to put in my Gunite Pool? Equalizer or Not? Got it! : )

What kind of Skimmer's do I need to put in my Gunite Pool? Equalizer or Not? I asked this in plumbing but I think that was the wrong forum. I am hoping it's okay to ask here where I should be.? However my issue is and I am feeling so desperate about it since I can't seem to figure it out on my...

Help! Please, I am kinda behind the eight ball and need to place my order and would love some more of your input if anyone has any thoughts??

Jason, I am so sorry to hear that both of these events have happened to you. Yikes!! So, hearing that it makes me think your advise would be to get both an auto water level and a skimmer with as equalizer. Is that correct? I have a another question Jason if it's not preferred to connect it to...

I am in the middle of my o/b build and I am in the process ordering my skimmers, and I'm not sure if I should buy the skimmers that come with the equalizers? Especially since I will be adding a separate water lever. I am thinking they both serve the same purpose but obviously I am a little...

jhav I know it's been awhile since you have built your pool but I wanted to thank you for sharing your story. It's Beautiful, you did an fantastic job! I love it! I am in the middle of my first and only pool build and of course up late still gathering information making sure I am not missing...

Divin Dave, Wise advice, especially with placing jets on the steps! I have diagragmed in 3 skimmers they are hidden somewhere in there or on a different piece of paper. I'm attempting to stay organized throughout this process. With several different bids and dates at least for me it's...

JJWalker Just when I thought I figured it out! hahhaha I will do the photo bucket! I am thinking it just shouldn't be that hard, or I am just really tired.
