Thanks @HermanTX ! The 6” question is about the shell walls, the quote A specify 6” width and some commented earlier it may be too little width? Contractor says code in Florida is 4” minimum, and 6” is enough, but

The original idea (architectural, not from a pool builder) was a 5'x10' sunshelf. See attached. But they came back with the stairs access there. is 5x10 a good size? if so, where should we put the stairs?

Another question/doubt: The original idea was to have something of a 3.5' to 6' in depth. But we are considering two things now: If we go beyond 5', we need to do a reinforcement or sealing in our area because of the phreatic level. Not too expensive, but it adds up. The second is about...

Hi @HermanTX Thank you for the comments. I see how the community comes forward to help. I attached the sketch above, and the depth will probably change to 3' to 5'. I'll add a separate comment here about it, as I have questions. I'll ask about all the lines, great insight. What is your take...

Thank you O.Bull, loved the guidance. Not sure if they have 10" walls; I understood they build a "reinforcement wing" of 10", then they do less. Still, the proposal does not specify how much. I'll check on the 8" and the warranty, sound advice. What is a variable speed pump? Why is it better...

Hi! I'm new to the forum, so hello to all! We've been thinking of building a pool in our backyard, and now we are moving towards it. We know nothing about pools, beyond how to swim in them. We evaluated different providers, mainly using references and reviews, to avoid companies that could...

Hello all! I'm joining today, with a project that is fast approaching, and knowing almost nothing about pools. Its a backyard project that I'll be posting under new to pools, to ask for guidance. Glad to be here to watch and learn! Cheers S
