New pool specs...any tips appreciated

[Afluv]

Here's what I'm looking at. It's a freeform style. Can anyone see anything I should add or that doesn't look right? I know some will say to lose the ozonator, which I may do.

What sized filter? Recommend color LEDs for pool lights. Umbrella and volleyball sleeves can be handy.

Drop the Ozone does'nt do much for an outdoor pool. I would get LED lighting and have them add a 3rd light. Make sure you get the light shows, we love our jandy LED lighting.

You can never have to much decking maybe increase the sq. ft.
If you plan an outdoor kitchen/poolhouse now is the time to run electrical,gas, sewage.

Same as said above:

- Ditch the Ozonator (probably gets kickback from company)
- Find out the size of the filter
- Try to upgrade your Master Temp to the Cupro-Nickel Heat Exchanger model.. this will extend its life since you are planning a salt water pool.
- Make sure you pre-determine the depth of your tanning shelf. 18" is too deep. We had to change it while they were doing the shotcrete and settled with 12", which is nice. 6" is not deep enough.
- Umbrella tubes
- LED lights

What is the inline chlorinator? Is it an SWG or is it a puck feeder? If it is a puck feeder, I recommend dropping it, or at least don't plan on using it on a regular basis.

They can come in handy on vacations if you plan to use liquid chlorination, they aso come in handy if you plan to inject via a stenner or similar automation. If you plan to do SWG, skip it. Skip the Ozonator.

Thanks everyone. Keep 'em coming. Actually, I am not doing a SWG - too much soft stone in the plans? Plan is to do straight Chlorine. I'll ask about tanning ledge depth but it definitely isn't "18. That's the spa height. I'll also check on inline chlorinator. I wondered if I should have gotten some sort of name brand chlorine dispenser.

Skip the salt since your using stone. You can easily add a liquid chlorine dispenser later

 

[karmabiker]

They all install the same inline chlorinator. Don't sweat it and just switch to liquid ASAP. Ie bleach.
