New member to this forum, looking to get some advice and guidance on pool equipment for my own personal homeowner pool build. Slated for Gunite currently Sept 7th though I know we may slide depending on weather. That said, we are doing a freeform pool/spa with a few basic details that include:
-9' round spa with 4' spillover
-Currently deciding between 12 or 16 jets
-Pool is ~42' long x 15.5' wide with ~3.5' x ~5.5' sport pool
-Tanning Shelf with 3 LED Bubblers
-3 Waterfall Sheer Descents on Raised Beams (2 @ 24" ; 1 @ 36")
-2 Skimmers
-3 Lights total (2 Pool / 1 Spa)
Attached are a couple items that share more complete details.
But back to the reason for the post...I was looking to get a better idea of necessary equipment to properly support our designed setup. I know everyone has their preferences over brands, but was looking currently at either Hayward or Jandy. The below table includes mainly Hayward which was my initial list, but I have another friend who has mostly Jandy and is very pleased. Ultimately, I want to keep most everything same brand that I can for obvious reasons, but main concern surrounds Pumps.
Given that I am looking to do between 12-16 spa jets, 3 sheer descents, 3 bubblers, racer cleaner, do I have a fair start below (regardless of brand)? List does not include spa jets, returns, valves or drains, but should capture most everything else. But like I said, overseeing this build myself and have a pretty good start but any guidance is most appreciated.
