Rebar in progress and start of shoot.

What 8 returns, on a very small pool, does to back pressure? This is with all plaster dust removed. 200 sq ft cartridge filter. SWAG we’re flowing 75-100 gpm in a 4,400 gallon pool. Will put in smaller eyeballs to increase velocity and better wash the bottom.

Sorry no good pic of rebar, mistake, thought I had taken it.

Lessons learned, while fresh in my head. Unique build We can’t dig, it’s solid limestone where we live. Unless you want to jackhammer ... for a long time, it’s going to be an above ground pool. Clear loose rocks and dirt, bobcat work, paint the area to clear, don’t tell him where you...

Lots of hard lessons learned. I now have lots of respect for pool builders. Two contractors not so good, had to fire and a little rework. A few little things to do, finishing touches Thanks TFP and it’s members for all the help and ideas.

More returns! I agree 4 would be a minimum. If your running 100gpm / 4 jets, your 25 gal/min, that’s quite a bit. I’m a bit on the over engineering side, I’m targeting 75gpm and putting in 8 jets. Easy to change hole size for more velocity out of the jets.

Rebar next, found a good man to help on craigs list. looking for a Gunite company in San Antonio Build a forms vs fill and compact ... shoveling is hard on this old man. Wood work, not so bad.
