Hi!
We're in the planning process and have received a few proposals. I've been browsing the forum a few days and every time I do I feel more and more overwhelmed with all the choices I need to make and consider. I need help! We're in Miami and are still between a 18x18 or 12x24 size. We're on a corner lot so setbacks have been an issue, but we've recently found that were on a zero lot line which helps.
-What are the major considerations I should be thinking about? What are must haves in terms of functionality/maintenance?
-How does the filtration work? Is it automated? One quote included a price for Jandy PS6 Automation and the others dont mention automation at all. Is this a necessity?
-One proposal includes the following in terms of electrical:
Pool Bond: Continuous Single # 8 Cooper bonded in four points and 360 around pool.
Electrical Subpanel: Intermatic T40000 with transformers, pool equipment breakers, electrical timer and lights
controllers.
The others say 2 speed automatic time clock and Standard electric hookup to include 30’conduit Is the extra subpanel needed or is existing service ok?
Honestly if someone could just point me to some literature or something, I would be so appreciatve. I feel like I don't know what I'm looking at or where to start and I don't want to make uninformed choices for such a large investment.
