Comments on the shallow end depth noted. I will probably go to 3.5 like someone else suggested. I have a 6 year old so I don't want to make it too deep. Thanks for your input on the equipment and SWCG. Great description of the stair design too...never heard it called wedding cake, but it...

Thanks. Your deep end is 9'? I'll check into seeing how much going to 10k deep would cost. Thanks for the input on lights on the side. Are your lights small (maybe a couple of inches) or big (like 10")? I think that would tell me if they are hydrocools or watercolors. How long have you had...

Thanks. Both builders quoted Jandy, but I can see if they can offer pentair. I did browse through apple app store reviews and their were a lot of complaints about the app being buggy... I was already warned about insurance so I checked with my company (USAA) and they said they are good with...

Mainly just for entry and maybe a spot to sit. My wife said she wasn't interested in putting chairs there. We actually had the builder take the umbrella holder out of the design too.

Thanks. I did ask for the diving board. I'll make sure it gets good use! CircuPool RJ-60 is the largest SWCG that I've seen. Doesn't appear to support automation though. Most of the pool owners that I've spoken with that have wifi controls really like that feature. I plan to close the...

I noticed in the "How to Select Pool Equipment" guide, it says that you should have a minimum of 200SF/10,000 gallons. That would be 652 sq ft for me. Doesn't look like Jandy even makes a cartridge filter that big. Since the quoted 340 is half that, I guess I should tell them that we need to...

I've never owned a pool before, so I don't know what I don't know. Hoping that some experienced folks can offer good input. Here is the deign: Pool size: 20’w x 40’ L Shape: Rectangular Depth: 3’ to 9’ Volume: 32,600 gallons Main Drains: two (2) main drains with anti-vortex covers Skimmer...

Thanks. If I went with Amerlite and swapped in LED bulbs, would I be able to change the colors somehow? Maybe from a phone app? Are there any that work with iAquaLink?

I am am working on a new pool design. One builder is recommending niche lights (Jandy Watercolor RGBW). He said the small, nicheless lights are a pain if you ever have a failure -- you have to pull an entirely new wire back to the transformer. He said with the large Watercolors, you can just...
