Anyone?

I have a pool and a spa each on their own CAT system. The customer wants to integrate both into 1 complete automation system. They each have a gas heater and obviously filter pumps. The hot tub has 2 jet motors and a blower motor. The lights are not wired into the filter room so they will not...

I'm discussing it with a customer. I don't think money is too much of an issue. I'm just looking for bullet points I guess. Something like... Intex pool last x years Brand x pool last x years Or other distinct differences.

Is it worth the money you save to buy an intex ultra frame pool from Walmart or should I go to my pool store and get one from there? This is for an 18' round above ground

UPDATE: This guy is dead set on a uv system because he was reading that chlorine is a carcinogen. He understands there is still a need for a small amount of chlorine. Since there is no changing his mind... Does anyone have experience with uv systems that can give me some suggestions on what to...

Any SWG recommended more than others? 25,000 in ground pool. Sand filter and heat pump installed

Sorry I jumbled 2 answers in 1 post. The place I work is commercial (a resort). That's where I need to maintain 3ppm. The guy that wants the uv system is residential.
