There are currently 2 wall returns, I think I like the idea of adding another between spa and waterfall. I also like idea of adding another light under the waterfall area but I'like have to ask the cost of that as I've heard they are $$$$$ Not sure why 2 sets of double drains are shown...

Thanks for the idea on the steps. Dig was tomorrow but we got 1.5" of rain and my access area is too wet. Probably late this week or early next week. They are coming to paint the grass tomorrow. What do you think of location of the drains, skimmers, lights, etc?? Spring 2017 new build in PA ...

My electric rate in eastern PA is less than $0.10 usually so I would do a heat pump if I wasn't going to have a spa. I think I'm stuck with propane Spring 2017 new build in PA ! //// Pool on a big hill //// IG SWG 800 sqft +100 sqft sun shelf + 50 sqft spa. //// All Jandy Pro series equipment...

Ok thanks. I don't think we have decided on a location for equipment yet but I've read it should be on the same elevation as the water to avoid excess strain on all equipment. Is that true to your knowledge? It would be easier for me to hide the equipment next to the house but that would be 4ft...

If I was confident my builder would build it correctly, I guess I wouldn't need one. He does have one in the plans currently though Spring 2017 new build in PA ! //// Pool on a big hill //// IG SWG 800 sqft +100 sqft sun shelf + 50 sqft spa. //// All Jandy Pro series equipment (help me choose...

I'm starting the dig for my pool soon. It will be close to some huge oak trees that love to drop pollen in spring and insane amount of leaves in fall. Ideally I'll close the pool before the bulk of the leaves fall each year. Is there anything I should consider adding to help with the extra...

I'm curious how the 3.5' - 7.5' worked out with jump rock? Is it just right? Would you have changed depth if doing it again? I'm starting my build soon and I'm considering this depth too. Also thinking 4' - 8'

Good idea! Definitely gotta check with insurance! I was thinking 7 or 7.5ft for deep end. I would go deeper but I was told the deeper I go, the more usable shallow end I'll lose. Do you think 7 or 7.5 is safe for jump rock? Obviously we would discourage anything head first. Spring 2017 new...

You lost me with some of the lingo there. But you're right, it's not cheap. Handling the hill, and all the boulder work is coming to about 35% of my total project cost. My builder has done these hill projects in the past (pics below). These are MUCH more dramatic than mine will be, but gives...

Thanks for the input. I believe their strategy is to put 2 swails further up the hill so water doesn't run down that steep slope. And run drainage pipe under the surface to carry water from the back and side past the pool location. I would love to hear from others who built on a hill. I...

A few builders in our area only do concrete and are very reputable so I'm not concerned. Water flowing down that big hill is definitely an issue. I told the builder this is a major concern. He seems to be confident in handling it. I'll learn more about how they will do this as things move...

Hey all, i'm new here and the dig will start end of March on my pool here in Pennsylvania. Is there any basic rules to follow for pools in colder climates like PA? or the northeast in general? I i'm doing an 800sqft Saltwater IG and my contract includes choice of SGM River Rok or SGM Diamond...
