@bmoreswin. Thank you for all the input. After playing around with the plans for a bit I think we are going to move the deck jets around and install the slide across from the house as you suggested, we agree that looking at the slide is much nicer than steps. We also considered having the steps face the spa and the swim out but as ideal as that would be, the slide exit will be too shallow and we are afraid of kids hitting bottom. Already spoke to PB about and we'll finalize details tomorrow
@AlanE. We are still planning on getting the heat pump. Maybe we do some type of combination with a heating blanket of some sort. Gas is just not an option at this time and we rather have something for those cool months.
Thanks you both again for all your suggestions and input. This will be our first pool ever, let alone building one. There is definitely a lot to it and glad to have your help..
