My 2 cents on a couple of your items:

intellichlor SWG vs - The VS goes with the pump (Variable Speed), just a IC40 or IC60 (if your pool is over 20k gallons)
suction vac plumbed in - No, you want a robot, or at least a polaris type. Suction vacs suck If you get a robot, you will need an electrical outlet closeish to the pool.
cartridge filter (no idea help) - Cartridge or DE are the best, the bigger the better
pebble finish flooring - you want the walls too

The way the image is posted it is barely readable.

For equipment we need specific manufacturers and model numbers - pump, filter, heater, SWG, lights, automation, cleaner?

How many gallons in your pool?

Have you ever been in a spa at a hotel where you turn a switch to get the spa bubbling with air? That comes from a spa air blower and can give vigorous agitation of the water.

A venturi air intake is just an open pipe that tries to suck air in with the water flow to create bubbles. Some builders know how to make them work and other builders can;t seem to get much air out of such a system.

this is size pool

looks like you are going to have a steep/fast drop to the deep end... any way to go longer? I kinda like the spa back closer to the house, mine is like that and I do also watch tv from the spa.. and then you can do a water feather at the deep end, jump rock, waterfall/jump rock or even raised wall or something then you will have 2 water features,. spa and others.. we love our tanning ledge.. yes it takes up some room but not too much in the way our pool is designed.. we really wanted to be able to play volleyball hence not wanting too steep of a drop. Ours is almost 36 feet 6.5 deep.. jumping only , no diving. oh and a slide.

thanks still figuring things out, couple PB mention they use Hayward. Any advise on that brand?

 

[ajw22]

Hayward equipment is ok.

Looks exactly like my pool except my spa sits in the middle in the back where the plants are
