Oh so very smart to make your ledge 9" deep! You can't enjoy the whole concept of the ledge with only your ankles in the water! And although they are more expensive, I am really glad we went with the pop-up cleaners vs. the creepy unit, so very simple, nothing we have to do with them, stow away...

IMHO, you may want the ability to select which lights you have on (personally I would find this to be too much light) When we swim in the evening, our one light is enough to see and not blinding as we swim along. Definitely have wiring for future lighting, outlets run now when you can. We are...

Oh, and at night we put the LED candles on it and the pool lights on...such ambiance!

We didn't feel that an umbrella would be feasible on our sun ledge, as we went with the designer's spot on suggestion to put in our first step (9" high") then the ledge, so that our bums are actually in the water cooling off while we sit there in our resin ADK chairs vs. just our ankles. So I...

Hi Matt, Just a thought based on something we learned about yesterday. Our water is very hard here, and we were told scale was probably the reason our salt cell wasn't producing chlorine - and that we should clean it monthly! We have a Pentair Intellichlor IC40. Sure enough, once we did that...

Kim - thank you for the kudos! I wanted to spread the love, and quell the frustration such as that which I went through to get this info! More to follow if Pentair ever responds to my email. :D

I am very, very new to pools and this forum helped me get a basic understanding of pool equipment operation. Not to disc Pentair in any way, but sitting on hold for almost two hours, I did much internet searching that was more helpful than they are! THIS MODEL IS QUITE DIFFERENT from so many...
