Hi everyone, So after building my pool last year (32x18, 20k gallons) I am looking into solar panels to save on gas bill. I have enough roof space with good exposure and have been looking at various panels. My plumbing is 2’’ and the 2’’ headers panels available on the market are pricey. In...

Hello All, I posted a few months ago regarding some of my initial design and finally started the construction phase. Gunite will be shot this week and I'm now looking at the material I need to do the plumbing from the pool to the equipment pad. I know the pipe sizes I need but the guy who...

One more thing about your comment on how to share the jets. I was planning on having 1-2 jets return from the main pump to the SPA with one spa main drain connected to the suction side which would provide circulation to the Spa and the 12 therapy jets connected to the dedicated pump with a loop...

thanks for your answer. I guess the reasoning was that with the electronic valve you can control the flow as well without needing the make up? But I was reading earlier about shared equipment and the need to have the spa to spill over the pool to make the water circulate and not have the spa...

I just posted the pool profile in my response to PJT. It will not be for diving but I wanted to be deep enough for the kids to have fun and jump but not dive. Would you just go as what PJT suggested to 5' and start at 3.5' or 4'?

Yeah I like the look but agree with you that first the water won't be as warm as my wife will want! and second it is tricky to build, so that's why I was asking and maybe I will just go like shown in the drawings I posted in which the coping of the 2 walls in the SPA will be 2'' above the pool...

I considered an automatic pool cover but since I'm in NJ it seems that I'll still need a winter pool cover, so I'll save the money and only buy a winter cover. In terms of what type of winter pool cover, I haven't really looked much into it yet so I would welcome any recommendation.

Thanks for that. The Chem feeder was a placeholder for the SWG and I believe it says that you need a check valve before the SWG so that no water goes back to the heater. I was not sure about the spa make-up so good that you mentioned I don't need it. And yes I'll add the drain before the filter...

Thanks PJT. Regarding the depth, I really struggled with it. I agree that 3' is shallow but I was afraid that 5' might not be deep enough so when I was thinking of the different combination of shallow/deep depth and the required slope, it seemed that it needed to be 3' on the shallow end to...

Thanks Allen this is very useful. I had not seen this Jandy document regarding the air blower Thanks Allen. This document about the air blower is very helpful and I'll look into the Jandy air blowers. Somehow I wanted to stick to Pentair to make sure it was compatible with Intellicenter but if...

Hi TFP community, I'm new to this forum and found out about it while doing some research on pool design. I decided to build a pool without going through a PB. Through my research I ended up selecting the following setup using Pentair equipment: The pool will be rectangular 32x18 from 3' to 6'...
