Thank you Swampwoman and Kimkats. Those jetpacks are an interesting idea! I'll check them out. And the fiberglass drop ins make a lot of sense. That really is the best of both worlds, clever! I do see the benefit of a dedicated therapy spa, but I doubt I have any say at this point. She's...

Thank you, that is important. I'd like it to be comfortable for 6 to lounge and spread out a bit, but also fit eight on occasion. Maybe we need to go a bit bigger. But I also know that bumping the diameter even a little grows the circle pretty fast... And I am stuck with the circular shape...

Ok, so six jets is a reasonable limit. Thank you!

Hi everyone, we are finalizing our pool/spa/yard build plan, and I am struggling with our PB designer's final answers/advice about the spa. He has been great overall, but his answers are not technical enough for me. I'd like to hear from TFP'ers! We are a family of four w/ kids aged 8 & 10...

Thanks Jim, I appreciate the heads up on the bleach quantities. I will investigate some more. I also agree 100% that a SWG is the best solution . That's what we will end up with. But I'm stuck right now. I really don't know how large of a system I will need, but it's larger than the...

Thank you Bama. Of course. The injection point would never be before the diversion valve to the spa, would it? Duh! I'm getting wrapped around the axle on the details, and missing the obvious. I better ask the PB for a plumbing plan. I hope that is the case with the Omnilogic. Looking at...

Hi Everyone, We are just finalizing our build, and going to pull our permit. The 3am wake up questions are coming fast and steady now! So far, with help from this forum, I'm gaining a lot of confidence about the plan. I've decided to go with a Stenner pump for our new 50k gallon pool build...

Thank you BYLP! I have actually given the Stenner pump option a lot of thought. I'm comfortable with setting them up myself, and I like the level of control it affords. I wasn't sure about the scale of the project, but after viewing your amazing thread, I feel more confident with it. Your...

Thank you Jim. Yes, I do understand that and agree with you. I'd like to go "all Hayward", as that's what my PB knows. Then it should "just work". Hopefully. I really like their OnmiLogic control so far, and the Ecostar VS pump supposedly plays really nice with it. But I also already have...

Philo, Agreed about the Ozone and UV system. Its out. I was tempted to keep the tablet feeder, just as a back up. But if I go with dual SWGs, I really shouldn't need that. I'll check out the Pentairs. Thanks! Shanebo, Thanks for all the comments! Those are all considerations I am stewing...

Thanks Jim. That is also a good point. I've read so much about the Stenners, I'm pretty keen on the concept. But you are right. I will make sure there is space for the install to be convenient, but might as well wait and see what is really needed. PoolGate, thanks for the comment. I like...

Thank you Jim! I really appreciate the feedback. The SWG makes the most sense to me too. I'll research what would best supply the 100k+ of sanitation. I never even considered a Stenner pump for adding acid, but that does make a lot of sense too. I am not nearly as familiar with the PH...

Hi Everyone. If you had a chance to do it all over again, knowing what you know now, how would you do it? We are very close to starting our pool build, as part of a major landscape project. Our builder has been awesome so far on the design side. I have been noodling on my dream pool for a...
