Hello,
Firstly, let me introduce myself and my pool. My name is Matt and I'm a Chicago transplant now living in Arizona. Our house backs up to a mostly dirt area (it will be getting converted to houses soon, though there is a wash and road between us and the other side where the houses will go). As a result, we get a ton of dust in our back yard all over our patio furniture. We have two younger kids and obviously with the pandemic, we decided to build a pool in our already done back yard (yeah, not ideal, but it is what it is). We're doing some demo ourselves (moving pavers/travertine, moving rock, etc) because the demo quotes we got were ridiculous. We prefer a salt water pool and think that, due to the dust, an in floor cleaning system would be very helpful to try and combat the constant build up. This is my first pool ever and I've been gathering quotes from the different trades.
The pool is a basic geometric design (we are replacing a prior turf area with a pool, so we had limited options on design) but I think it's going to work well for us. I've attached a picture of our plans to give you an idea (the light on the right is in the incorrect position, it will be on the baja step in the end). I've also attached some 3d renderings which are very similar to the final design that we received from a pool builder when we were getting quotes prior to deciding to do it ourselves (this is purely a visual for rough idea on what it will end up looking like as well as what is already existing that we had to build around). The pool is roughly 28x16, 3-5-4 depth, 5' baja step with two bubblers and two umbrella sleeves, 441 sq ft and 88' of perimeter, with an interior volume of 826 sf and 14,661 gallons.
I'm looking for some guidance (as of right now, I'm sure I'll be looking for more guidance later) on pool equipment. We got a quote yesterday for equipment and I've been trying to look through it and compare prices as well as equipment online but I'm having a hard time making sense of it all and would appreciate a second (or 15th) pair of eyes. I just don't really know if this equipment is good, if it will work well for my pool based on the specs, and if there are better choices and prices out there that would serve us better. I would really appreciate some opinions and input/guidance on this phase right now.
