Good Morning, well we are taking the plunge! Literally! After dreaming, discussing, plotting and perusing we've decided to put in an inground pool...ourselves! I've been reading a lot online and on this site, ya'll have a great site btw 
So we are needing some guidance. We have decided to go with a pool kit from Royal Swimming Pools, the L Shape 20x45x36. I was curious on advice for the pump and filter...and anything else anyone wants to chime in on. With most kits, you get to choose brand and size of pumps and filters so we are pretty much clueless on what to get. And I know this is a pretty big pool. We are going with standard shallow end (3'4") and diving deep end (8'). I'm also assuming we need 2 returns on the steps and 2 or 3 returns in the pool. One skimmer? Also, we have 2 choices on where to put our equipment, at the end of the pool by the deep end or about 40 feet away sitting by our wellhouse and incorporate a new structure for all of that plus some storage. Is 40 feet too far for a pump to work well? Any advice is appreciated! Looking forward to hearing from yall!
