Here's my pool layout:
B = seim out ench (no stairs), r and R = returns, s = skimmer, w = waterfall, the bump out is a swim out bench. The waterfall is not usually on.
The wind runs West->East 75% of the time and East->West the rest of the time.
Today I have the return closest to the skimmer pointing at the deep end (the middle) slightly to the left of itself. The return next to it is angled towards the wall just past the swim out bench, just low enough to see surface flow without breaking the water too much. The far return (R) I have pointing straight ahead, flat.
I want to put a return skimmer at R. But which way should I point the out flow? I don't think I get very good flow to the NE corner of the pool. So my initial thought is to point the return skimmer's output in that direction. Is this right? What about the other returns?
I'd love to get suggestions for how to configure these with and without a return skimmer too.
Thanks in advance
Edited a whole bunch of times to get the pool layout right in the post; looked fine in the editor window; not anymore.
