The courtyard has plenty of built in site drainage so, no, there is no danger of the courtyard flooding should the pond overflow . Also, FWIW, I also designed in an overflow pipe that sits in the pond wall just below the coping.

These are all very helpful moments, thank you. TFP has proven to me once again to be the place to get genuine help and answers, a great resource... Based on the comments I've received thus far I added a bit more detail to me initial post as to the pond, as well as the pool. And I might be...

Dirk, here are the specifics for all of the features... The pool is 24'L x 12'W x 6'D and there is a 36" sheer descent waterfall that spills into it which is currently on the same waterlines as the pool (i.e., no diverter). What's being added is a pond / water-bowl feature that is in a different...

Hi All. I am adding a small pond / waterbowl feature and would iike to run it off of my existing pool equipment (pool has no spa.. and the pond is completely separate from the pool area... and the pond will have a clean, completely tiled interior with no plants, fish, etc. (i.e., clean body of...

Bridgway, thank you for the response. Adding the automation controller sounds like the way to go. This seems to not only avoid having a second pump but allows us central control of the pool filtration cycle, pool lighting, pool waterfall, pool tiki torches (automated ignition), and then also the...

I'm trying to determine what equipment and configuration would best suit the following application. I have an existing in-ground salt-water pool (approx. 24'x13'x5') that has a 36" sheer descent waterfall that spills into the pool. The pool and waterfall run off of the same pentair intelliflo...

Fantastic, thanks. This should clearly show my PB that pentair does, in fact, support vertical placement of their globrite led light. If nothing else, its clearly supported using the color vision bubbler niche (cap off the water supply line), but hopefully they'll feel comfortable with simply...

I think the County missed it then, and its very possible that the inspector might call it out in field. So if one used a niched light (like an IntelliBrite 5G 'spa' light), then there would be opportunity to for additional cord? This is the light we originally asked our PB to install but they...

OK, now I get it. You're correct in that the raised beam water feature housing the waterfall sits directly on the edge of the pool. The raised beam structure is 8 FT in length with the center section (5' long) rising to 24" above coping. This center section is flanked on either side by 12" high...

Although I am not very knowledgeable regarding pool construction, I would imagine that the same opportunity to encase the necessary length of cord would exist whether the light was installed on the bench's seating surface or within its front vertical surface. The light we would use would be the...

The seating surface sits about 18" below the waterline. Cord length, if I'm understanding your question, would be the same run as our other pool light (wall mounted).

We're about to start our pool project and are trying to light a raised beam water feature that sits on the edge of the pool. After much research, and wonderful help from this forum, we've narrowed down our lighting options to essentially placing a light towards the back of the seating surface of...

I completely agree with you regarding there not appearing to be any reason why even the 'spa' version of an IntelliBrite 5G can't be installed vertically. But our PB says that they asked their pentair rep who apparently indicated that they've never tested for vertical installation and they don't...

I looked at the GloBrite but our PB says that there's no pentair light that can 'officially' be mounted vertically (i.e., on a shelf, bench, etc.). Whereas the jandy nicheless LED has this use case explicitly described within their installation manual. And regarding what we're actually trying to...

Apart from lighting, we plan to have all pentair equipment (i.e., IntelliFlo VS, IntelliChlor, etc.). However, we need to include a vertically-mounted light in a submerged bench seat. As pentair doesn't seem to have one for this type of application we are having to go with a Jandy pro series...

I'm at the 12th hour of signing a pool contract and the only real item remaining is to identify a pool light that can be mounted in the seating surface of a submerged bench located just below a sheet-style waterfall. The light is to illuminate the waterfall and its raised beam structure. We've...

Thank you Marla, those pics really help. And if you happen to come across anything regarding the type of light you used please let me know. I'd imagine that they are some kind of 'well light' or floor light with a hardened sense and probably niched into the seat a tad.

We're very curious about the option of a flush-mount light embedded within a bench underneath the waterfall. The pentair intellibrite5G lights still have a bit of a dome to the sense, and I'm not sure if they could be cracked if someone sat on them. Can someone please direct me to some lights...

Sounds like a nice build. We had also looked at CMP's LED-lite sheers but for our 'pseudo-asian' theme we thought the that type of lighting wouldn't really go, still considering though. Quick question regarding your decision to use a single pump to control the pool as well as the sheers. First...

Sounds like a nice option, and very spa-like as one could do the whole waterfall on the shoulders thing. Would you happen to have a picture or two of the lighted bench (at night and also a clear shot during the day). Also, any issue of the light being too bright, and not sure if one can dim such...

Thanks everyone... With the waterfall that has a built in LED strip, CMP makes a "Brilliant Colors" one, we actually steered away from this because we felt it looked a bit odd to have such a stark strip of light at the mouth of the waterfall, and it also diddent seem to really illuminate the...

Thank you all for the comments thus far. Let me just give a it more detail as to our build. As our sheer descent-style waterfall drops straight into the pool, would be still strive to not have it go through a filter? And with its own dedicated pump separate from the pool's pump, would it still...

We plan on building a 10,100 gal in ground pool with a 36" sheer descent-style waterfall (w/ an approx 20" drop into pool) and am having difficulty in deciding on appropriate pump, lighting, and controller options. We would greatly appreciate some advise. Before I get into the questions I want...
