I am putting in a call to someone that might be able to help with pump question. Hold on a bit until he gets back with us.
Heat/chiller no help there either

riley00dog, kimkats, and SuzfromTexas, thanks so much for weighing in on the design piece. My PB just emailed me pics of the travertine colors. There's one called Classic Light (tumbled), which will probably work. He also sent info for a place that carries denser stone coping. I'll stop by tomorrow and ask about the honed/filled travertine coping option while I'm there.
The design and tiles look nice.
Shame on the PB for not being on-site during gunite.
A raised beam is a good idea for drainage issues anyway and can also look quite nice.
As for a spa blower - I would really advocate one. You can go low hp 1hp and they are not real loud anyway but they really make for a jacuzzi type spa and its on on/ off thing so you just use it when you want. Kids love them too with cool water.
Laughing so hard as I hear the rain beating down on my pool - shades of Hurricane Harvey!!! Ugh!!! Great post - I needed some humor this soggy 4th of July.
Btw... If you want to book mark it for future Houston rains, I just posted a list of precautions/preparations for a pool (one already completed. Sorry this won't help you now!)

Good luck cleaning yourself up after trench digging. Now is a great time to consider an outdoor shower, right?! Lol!!! (I really do love my simple one)
Take care today and Happy Independence Day!

Off to curl up with a warm blanket and a cat...
