New L Shape pool in Georgia

Well we finally pulled the trigger.

Welcome to the site Ga Mike! That pool looks huge! Can you add more info on equipment ext?

It's 20x44 with a 18x14 l section. Trying to decide on pump, filter, etc. Has 6 ft swim out in deep end. Has three above water line spray jets. Also have Jets in both sets of stairs.

Trying to decide on decking. Thought about 12"x24" travertine coping around pool.

Looks great. Dumb question, but are those pre-fab pool walls of some sort ? I didn't know that kind of thing existed.

That's going to be a really nice pool ! ?

They are polymer wall sections that are bolted together. You then have brackets that are bolted to back of them and are at a 45 degree angle. You then pour concrete up about 10-12" up the wall to help tie everything in. You then screw tracking down. I decided to use crush and run as a back fill to help with settling.

Thanks a bunch.

Good choice with the crush and run ?

If I was going to do an inground pool I would want one just like this.... I love love love the deep entry....

Is this DIY or do you have a builder?

It's a builder but I am helping and helping makes decisions. Gotta figure out liner, deck, pump, filter, salt system.

Roughly 45000 gallon pool. What filter and pump do you guys think?

 

[sargent]

For a pool that big I would go ahead and get a 3hp variable speed pump. Since you are going with a salt system, I would get a cartridge filter, at least 500 sq. ft.

Yup, that's a big pool! Eager to see how it turns out.

Letting Mother Nature rain on the crush and run and letting it settle for a couple weeks.

A 3 hp rated pump is overkill for that pool. A 1.5 full-rated pump will be perfectly adequate unless you plan on having water features. It is important to place your returns correctly with an L-shape so you do not have and water circulation "dead" spots.

There is no particular advantage in a cartridge filter because you have an SWG. Filter comparisons have been beaten to death on this forum but there is a comprehensive article in pool school that will help you find out that each type has pros and cons with no single type being markedly superior.

I have three jets in swim out, two in steps and also have three above water line spray jets. What pump and filter do you think I should go with.
