Hey everyone, I have been reading trouble free pool for the past year and I am very appreciative for everyhting I have learned. We began building a very small 5000 gallon in ground gunnite pool around Thanksgiving. I work in a very demanding segment of the construction industry and working with a builder has been very painful for us. Lots of tearing things out and redoing them. We also found that very few trades are used to building a moderb looking simple pool. Anyhow we are finally nearing completion and I had a few questions I was hoping the community could help with.
I would love any insight. Thank you in advance.

- I fired the pb electricians and did the electrical myself due to quality issues and I am on the last step which is controls wiring. I have two heaters, an aquacal sq-120r and a jandy jxi 400k btu natural gas heater. Both will be connected to a jandy Aqualink. I have read both the aqualink and aquacal manuals but I am still unsure of the control wire connection points. I have included picture below. Is the jandy manual correct? What is the best way to do this?
- The Pool builder did a poor job of plumbing the pad efficiently. We have an ozonator and an infloor cleaning system, but right now the onzonator only feeds the wall returns. I would imagine this should ideally also hit my in floor cleaning system. What have others done here? Will the O3 with an mdv wear out the infloor parts?
- I have read really poor opinions of chemical controllers that rely on orp and ph. What about the more expensive commercial systems that use chlorine sensors instead of orp? I haven’t heard much opinion on those. I included a picture of a system I am considering from georg fischer. I will probably tear out all the pad plumbing as soon as the builder leaves. T-minus 10 days.
I would love any insight. Thank you in advance.
