Pool in Yucatan Mexico - Equipment Help

wstine · Jul 9, 2020

Hello, and Good Morning, we are building a home in the Yucantan, about 30 minutes north of Merida, Mexico...we are working with a local Pentair Retailer, but the process is slow and we want to make sure that we are getting the right products....any help would be appreciated.

Here's what we have.
Pool size = 18,000 gallons
2 skimmers on the same valve - 2.5" line
2 waterfalls, each on their own valve
5 jets that are looped together
3 big lights and 1 small light

We have decided on the following:
Intelliflo VSF Pool Pump
Ichlor30 salt generator
Leaning towards the Clean and Clear CCP420 Filter (mainly because we are tight for space in our mechanical room)
Intellibrite 5G LED Pool Lights

We want to have automation to control the lights, valves and waterfalls....

Can anyone help with a list of what we need to purchase to make all of this happen?

Thank you...Muchas Gracias!!!

W,

You want each skimmer to have its own valve at the equipment pad.. You want all valves to be Jandy style valves and not ball valves.

If you plan on having main drains, they also need to be plumbed back to the equipment pad and not into the skimmers.

The Pump is perfect

I would get the IC40 IntelliChlor and not the iChlor 30.. You want a SWCG to be rated for at least 2 x the volume of your pool.

The filter should be just fine.

For automation you will need either an EasyTouch with ScreenLogic, or the New IntelliCenter. They both cost about the same.

For each valve you want to control you will need an actuator. Each actuator will mount to a Jandy style valve.

It would be important to know if you will have an integrated spa or not. Also how many automated valves you need to have to control your water features.

Thanks,

Jim R.
