What is the size of the pool in gallons?
I am in process of building about the same size double roman (20x46) and was suggested to use IC60 cell.

my math comes out to 33000 gallons. the pool proper is 20x43, with the stairs making it a few inchs shy of 47' long. Haunch to Haunch, the pool is 38', then the roman ends add 2.5' each.

I really liked watching this build. I am in the process of a similar project. I was curious if the one LED light was enough? Any picks with the light on? And when you back filled what did you do to compact the soil before laying the concrete? I am decided on weather I build the pool, back fill, and then wait until spring to do liner and concrete or fill it up and winterize before we get a freeze. Thanks

Sorry so late... No picks with the lights on... Since they have not yet been on. Soon though!

I used a walk behind plate tamper slightly moistening before. I also used a rod right up against the pool walls to make sure there were no voids. Best to use clear gravel if you can... Packs best, no settling. Next is sand then loam. Last would be clay. Avoid using it.

Good luck. I'll post more
Pics soon
