Thank you for the guidance! I realized I might be misunderstanding the (2) x 3" pipe suggestion. My basic configuration would be a 4" line extending about 4-5ft from the pump (to outside of pool wall) and then splitting with a T. Each 2" inlet would branch off this 4" trunk. Do you...

thank you! Here is my CAD file for the elevations involved... I plan to install pumps and valves directly above the basin tank (as insurance). The suction line can be measured in inches vs feet. Distributing return jets from a 4" return manifold/trunk is easy to do. How many wall jets...

Thank you! I previously reviewed your posts with these tables to come up with my default design. I am assuming 1/4" of head is more than acceptable if I am not concerned with the weir as a water feature (instead as a cleaning mechanism and steady-state aesthetic feature from patio above)...

Building a DIY spillover pool in haste and hoping to minimize errors... Starting new tread with overview and request for general guidance. Project: Cast Concrete spillover pool on cliff edge. (not gunite/shotcrete) Offgrid solar electricity, no permitting, no one to save me from myself, etc...

Haha - too many things going on! Yes, the trapezoid is the pool. Finished the rebar last evening - it’s a bit bigger based on where I set the corners. About 1200sqft it appears. The open basement next to the rebar will house the tank. Exterior patio will cover this element. A pool house is...

After the pool is poured, we can remove the cliff overbuild and work our way out (which is why I needed to pour the pool now)
