Hi, we are in the quote process of an inground pool build. So far, each build is just listing generic equipment like Hayward salt chlorinater or Pentair cartridge which is making it difficult to compare apples to apples. I'm hoping to get help with what is the best recommended equipment I should ask for. With the heat and COVID our builders are very busy and I want to try to streamline the process as much as possible, by giving them the exact list of what I want and see what feedback/quotes I get from the builders. The pool will be:
- L shaped, with stairs across the entire shallow end , diving well will be the short part of the L, we do not want a baja shelf or attached spa
- Size, I have two quotes already for: from company A- 16' x 36' with 16' 16' diving well, company B - just stated 16' x 40' without measurements for the small part of the L
- depths will be from Co A - 4' to 5' long part of L and short part will be 8' diving well. Co B - 3'6" - 5' - 8' and 8' -8'6"
-gallons A -19,500. B- 24,000
I do know we want:
Pentair equipment
Salt water generator. I know recommendation is twice the size of pool, but if we go with 24,000 gallons do we really need to go up to the IC60 or will IC 40 work since it's just a slightly over 20,000 gallons?
Cartridge filter - provide recommendation please
Variable speed pump - again what model would be best to ask for?
Heater recommendations?
Pool lights, we know we want two color changing lights
Automation - but what do I ask for? Pentair IntelliCenter? is there a specific model?
Things we have quoted which we may or may not add are pool slide and a couple of deck jets. I'm wondering since we are going with stairs along the width, could we put a couple of bubblers there like people put on a baja shelf?
I know I'm asking for a lot of help and I really appreciate any feedback provided. This is an awesome source of information and I do plan on supporting.
