    Looking for advice on pool configuration

    We are not getting a board given all the liability issues, but a slide may be something to look at! I think it is cool when a net is put across a pool, but if one side is 3ft and the other is 6-8ft, I think it would be difficult to play any team sports. Just trying to think through all the...

    Looking for advice on pool configuration

    Hi all, I'm new to this forum and looking for advice on pool configuration/size. We are pricing out fiberglass pools for an indoor pool. I want to get a size and style that will grow with the family. I'm pretty set on a rectangle shape as we want to get an autocover to help with humidity, etc...

    New Indoor Pool - Salt or Something Else???

    Yes, dehumidifier and low negative air draw is the plan. I joined as I wanted to learn about everything before breaking ground and because I was getting contrasting advice from pool installers.

    New Indoor Pool - Salt or Something Else???

    Good point - the room is going to be very leaky as we are planning on using several garage doors, so I think air will flow at all elevations. I only thought to put it low in case any dense "nasties" hang out at water level - where we will be breathing a lot.

    New Indoor Pool - Salt or Something Else???

    Thanks, I think you are right. I'll start off with just SWG, but leave the option of UV.

    Thanks- I didn't think about the sealer with the stamped. Good point as that is all I need - slips and falls around the pool deck!

    Looks amazing. Fantastic job! How deep is the concrete and do you worry about cracking? I'm in the process of planning a pool and looking at concrete vs. pavers. Pavers seem so expensive so leaning towards concrete - maybe stamped even. Any thoughts on that?

    New Indoor Pool - Salt or Something Else???

    Thanks! I hate to add another question. But here we go - when I was traveling once, I swam in a hotel pool for which the water felt almost like lake water and the condition (hardness was great). I should have asked the hotel what they used in the pool, but have you heard of other chemicals like...

    New Indoor Pool - Salt or Something Else???

    Thanks so much for all the help with this. One more question (for now) - is there a SWG system that you recommend and do any measure salt in the water for automation purposes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Indoor Pool - Salt or Something Else???

    Thanks. And yes, we could be away for 2-3 weeks at a time, so I think automation is a key component. I'm planing on installing a small continuous exhaust fan with intake at pool room floor level. There will also be an auto-cover as well. Not sure if the impact regarding that though. Sent from...

    New Indoor Pool - Salt or Something Else???

    Thanks - for a novice, do salt generators input the same level of chorine as pools where the owner adds the chemical manually? Is there any advantage of adding any other systems in order to be lower the amount of chlorine? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Indoor Pool - Salt or Something Else???

    Hi everyone - We are in the process of picking a contractor and one of the big questions is regarding which filtration/sanitation system is best for an infrequently used (compared to public pools) indoor pool. Two prospective contractors are saying salt and one is claiming a hybrid UV/Oxidizer...
