All, I have been extremely busy at the office and with business travel so have been unable to start my pool build thread. Plan to get to it tonight (I hope), with lots of pics.
I just hit a point where they've framed skimmers in a location I felt was not optimal. Before they start plumbing and rebar I'd love some feedback.
Pool details are in my signature. 19x47 total dimensions. Swimmable portion of the pool is 19x39. In pool spa and tanning ledge consume 8x19.
Both skimmers were framed on the same SW pool wall.
My concerns are:
-The prevailing wind direction always seems to be in the direction indicated on my drawing.
-Visually you would be looking at the skimmer holes in the wall from the main seating area in front of the house
I want to make sure I capture floating debris so don't want to come off like a whiny home owner. The PB stated this was the proper design and the returns would guide debris properly even with prevailing wind direction. I don't want to question his every design decision but this one might need tweaking...
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
-edit- added additional pic with numbers to facilitate pin pointing locations...
