Thanks, I agree. I'm still working with the PB on the cost for an additional skimmer. But, assuming its reasonable I'll most likely add that as well. I appreciate all the help, and I'm very fortunately to have found this forum before it was too late!

Thanks guys. I talked to my PB and the total cost to upgrade 1. the Truclear to Aquapure 1400, 2. RS4 automation to RS6 w/Aquapure link, and 3. increased cartridge size from 200 to 300 is $1100. The automation system needs to be updated to the higher version to be functional with Aquapure...

Hi everyone! We are finally very close to signing a contract for our pool, below is the "final" plan. Here are some the changes that have been made since the initial plan: Increased shallow pool depth from 3 to 3.5", deep end is still 5.5". I personally would have gone 4" in the shallow end...

We are very close to having our pool design locked in but have a question about slope. Per Florida code... 454.1.2.2.3.1 Floor slope shall be uniform. The floor slope shall be a maximum 1 unit vertical in 10 units horizontal and a minimum of 1 unit vertical in 60 units horizontal in areas 5...

Good to know, I'll need to understand the cost differences, which I'm starting realize will add up quite fast!

Ah of course you add some confusion, but I'm happy you did, it makes me think a little more! Yes there most likely will be a tv on the patio, closer to the right side of the patio than the left. Real grass will be around the pool.

I was up late last night thinking about plans, and a couple ideas ran through my head: Move the sun shelf and steps to the bottom right, with all or part of it as a bump out. Shallow and deep ends would be flipped. This would required more flooring around the sun shelf, and with the ground...

Thank you. I see what you are saying regarding the spa. Initially I thought that the area on the right with the waterfall was in fact the coping, but the way the plan is drawn up makes the area connected to the seating area. My hunch is that the area on the right is the coping and that there...

These are all really great questions I wouldn't have thought of without this forum. Will the coping be wider around the spa than the pool? The spa is going to be tight for six adults, knee to knee. No clue. Should the spa coping be wider to allow for people to sit on? The spa drawing has no...

This may be easier than opening the PDF

FYI attached is the initial rendering of the pool set up. My backyard already has a natural elevation, which allows for a step up and potentially some other features. It appears that the main pool as rendered would have the one skimmer and three returns. If my family is going to have any...

Thank you everyone for your suggestions, I'm very grateful that I found you all early in my process. Based on the above, here are the items I need to look at: Consider adding a second skimmer - FYI The pool will not have any coverage, so this seems significant. Confirm the amount of returns -...
