Which tile contractor did you use? Want to make sure I steer clear. I’m also in the west valley. MOD note: Take the answer to PM please.

This is the pump model/make used in the Glacier. The graph is what came up when I did a search.

@JamesW This was good info to read. Just a follow up question. The glacier chiller uses a sump pump to return the chilled water. So in their new build installation manual they have you install a dedicated chiller return line at deepest part of pool floor bottom. It’s actually the power of the...

@sll0037 Hey there! I am the individual @Schwimmbad mentioned in the previous posts about Glacier chiller. Here is a snippet of text from my email correspondence with them “Account for 5 feet in head loss for each 90 degree turn. Which means the flow will not totally get there. Every turn you...

It’s come a long way and looking great. Sending well wishes your way for your surgery!

@ajw22 I’ll likely take a drive out again to examine more closely under the lip of the overhang. If it ends up being poured could the overhang part be formed at the time of shotcrete since it’s all going to be tiled?

Could anyone out there that is more familiar with pool construction techniques be able to tell me how this raised patio is constructed. This is a pool at a model home that I really liked a lot and I want to replicate the raised patio with my OB. The raised patio has an overhang of 3-4” on the...
