7000 gal small (10x23) with 6x6 integrated spa in SW Florida. Spoke to a guy at Pentair today. He says this unit will heat a 6x6 500 gal spa in an hour or less in our climate. If so, I end my quest for a LP heater because that would be fast enough. He also suggested this model as it also has...

Pool is planned to be 10x 23 with 6x6 integrated spa. I had planned 500 gal LP buried tank for gas range, grill and pool heater. It’s about $8-10k to install tank and lines. No natural gas in our area. pros: wife wants gas stove. And I’m told spa will heat in minutes. But expensive to run...

if my pool is 7000 gallons and the smaller Nano handles 22k gallons, why do I need a bigger filter? How big? Thanks all.

I used a pool volume calculator for a 10 x 23’ pool with deep end at 5’ and shallow at 3’ and got 6900 gallons. That sound about right?

Brian, i agree with you. Part of the problem is we don’t know what we don’t know. We have submitted photos of pools we like. It’s an iterative process. We are not starting from scratch each time.

Jim, im really glad you asked the question. Totally agree and it has caused us to slow down a bit

This adds a shelf in the shallow end to sit on and eliminates the stupid fountain. Adds a hand rail too. Pool is about 10’ X 25’. Thoughts?

Makes total sense.

In another thread, I posted a concept drawing with a small pool and integrated spa. One guy replied by asking me if I have ever sat in a concrete spa and how less comfortable they are than a separate molded spa. Several people chimed in saying saying they agreed that theirs was not that...

We are talking to two pool builders. We have never owned or built a pool. I think we need a designer who listens to us but makes active suggestions based upon their experience. In both cases, the software they use to show designs seems fairly unsophisticated. I've attached a recent drawing...

I think Pool Gate has nailed it. PB said the architect was for pool design but didn’t name a fee. Today we talked to him by phone and said we wanted a bid first and he stopped talking about the architect.

I know this is a newbie question. We are in SW Florida. First pool company asked what we wanted, did conceptual drawings and gave us a detailed bid. We want a second quote and got a recommendation. He has sent concept drawings and says next step is architect and we pay the fee (don’t know how...

Our pool will be relatively small. 10x22. South Florida. Just us and some occasional friends. Infrequent grand kid visits. The spa will likely be integrated and a 6x6 spa has been suggested. That of course makes the pool even smaller. How many adults can comfortably sit in a 6x6 spa? Maybe...

As we design our pool, we had planned a raised spa in the corner of the pool. We loved a picture we saw of a spa “in” the pool. It was at one end and the spa water level looks even to the pool. We liked the looks of that design. There must be a wall just to the water level which would keep...

no spec on rebar and wall thickness. What is good? could go bigger but would guess 6 or less is max in pool. thanks much - - - Updated - - - Thanks much. Pool is about 6500 gal. Is there an iChlor 20k? - - - Updated - - - Auto fill sounds like a great feature. What’s the downside? How...

We have to use LP here in Naples,FL. The pool will be salt water. Should we get the more expensive ASME version? Thanks

Got the first bid and we will get another. 1. We have decided to get an LP tank buried on our property and have a LP heater for the pool/spa primarily for warm up speed. 2. What is auto fill and do we want one? 3. Any Other comments about this quote would be appreciated. 4. House is in Naples,FL...
