I agree and also the same thing with Laminars. The only time we run them is if we are in the hot tub and no one else is outside otherwise way to noisy.
I just had ours rerouted in Katy for $1800 for approx 190 foot wire run. Your quote is way high given we have a huge yard and run to the meter. Let me know if you want the name of our guy.
Got a response for some of the questions regarding skimmers, spa trough and returns.
1. The trough for the spa is 6" wide 6" deep and it does have a return
2. My skimmers are both placed on the same side of the pool because there is no decking/room on the opposite side he said.
3. My sun self has returns, and over my pool appears to have 6 returns total. Based on his response the returns have not been placed for my pool yet and he wants my input as to where I would like them.

Looks like a good list but I would ask for specific model numbers of each piece of equipment. This was not done on my contract and now I am regretting it. Does your automation system have the wireless network capability so you can access from a web browser? Go on Jandy's website and look at each item to make sure it is what you want. There are a LOT of options with the lights, for instance.
I've searched the forum but can't seem to find anything relevant to vertical returns?
My builder is showing 3 vertical pool returns on my site plan. One on my sun deck and two around my infinity spa. Can't say I am familiar with this? Any help?
I just donated and should be able to start posting all of my photos of the gunite/equipment/plumbing tomorrow I hope.

Not sure what that means. Bubblers?
You do know you are paying for an in-line chlorinator with a SWCG? You do NOT need the chlorinator.
Take care
They are not my bubblers... My site plan specifically calls it "vertical pool return" and the pipes for them are coming up from the pool floor of my sun deck, not the walls.
I was told I would need the clorinator for the first month or so of the pool being filled and would then just be a backup basically..

Why not use bleach for the first month or so?
Better to keep a handle on your pool water chemistry than use pucks that you never sure if they are dissolving, have to monitor CYA constantly to assure you have enough FC, etc.

Tall skinny pipe is for my bubbler, the shorter fatter pipe is listed as vertical return

I've never had a pool before, let alone Salt Water.. Sounds like I could have saved some money, but if I remember correctly it didn't cost that much to have it. Less than $300 I think.
I'm a little concerned about the equipment installed that is touching my A/C unit.
Any suggestions from the group? Does the rest of the equipment look okay or do you see any issues? I can provide any additional photos if needed.

Someone clearly didn't think that through when they mounted the pump to the slab that close to the A/C unit.
Is it actually touching? I personally wouldn't worry about it from an airflow standpoint, but if it's touching it seems like it might rub through the pipe? Perhaps that's a long shot.

It is touching. Actually it is pressed against it. Not touching.

The plumbing surrounding the A/C unit is not great. What happens when you need maintenance or a replacement on it?
