Hi, I have been lurking for a few weeks while we get into our potential pool process. I received a quote for a shotcrete 14x28 pool (approx 3.5-5' deep/rectangle) and would love thoughts on equipment/construction method. I know we'd want to do the SWCG which is an upgrade, pb said they suggest the higher efficiency heater upgrade, I don't know what an acid feed system is? Thank you in advance for any thoughts/advice.

2 Pentair Bermuda skimmers
6 Pentair returns
Intellibrate 5G light
Pentair IntelliCenter Smart Pool Control System w/ Mobile App
Pentair Inteliflo VS3 - 3HP pump for pool/spa circulation
Pentair Cartridge Filter (says sized to pool or spa volume which I'm not sure what that means yet)
Pentair Mastertemp 400K BTU Heater
5000 PSI shotcrete mix
9" thick pool floor
#4 Rebar grid 9" O.C. and 3-#5 on top track
3- #5 rebar on top track
3" PVC pool suction lines
2.5" PVC pool return lines
Waterline tile, 6" perimeter row: IPB color group 1
2-VGB compliant 32" unblockable channel drains
3" PVC main drain suction lines
16" poured concrete coping - exposed sand finish
Sunstone (IPB color group #1) plaster pool interior finish

Upgrades would be:
Pentair Eti High Efficiency pool heater
Intellichlor Salt Cell
IntelliChem automatic acid feed system with chlorine control
 
Welcome to TFP.
Overall the equipment looks great.
It is best to get the largest cartridge cleaner that fits your budget. They make 300 sq ft, 400 sq ft and 500 sq ft models.
The IC Salt Cell should be rated to 2x your pool volume, they make an IC 20, IC40 and IC 60 (the numbers refer to 1000 gals). Going bigger is always better.
Have your 2 skimmers independently run back to the equipment pad for best control of the skimming Action.

You can search the IntelliChem system on the forum, there are mixed reviews.
 
thanks for the replies thus far. I had a question for my pb about equipment and he is now quoting me 20k LESS for using Hayward equipment. Does that make sense? the changes from the above would be:
Hayward bermuda skimmers (2)
Hayward returns(6)
Hayward VS Tristar Pump
Hayward Universal H-Series 400k BTU heater
Hayward SwimClear 325 cartridge filter
Hayward Omni Logic Pool Control system

I can upgrade to Hayward Aqua Rite Salt Chlorinator and HydroPur Oxidation Sanitation System.

20k difference seems shocking to me. Does that make sense?

Also our design is super simple - rectangle like I said with corner steps and maybe benches in the deeper end and maximizing swim space, no other bells and whistles. I don't have placement of returns or skimmers yet.

That is a LOT of money!!! I would double check that...............you know the old saying...................if it seems too good to be true it is! aka something is not right here.
HydroPur Oxidation Sanitation System.
drop any idea of this. It is snake oil with no real benefit in the long run.
