New pool build in Nicaragua

[jblizzle]

This is such an awesome pool!!!

I am suspect of your flow numbers though. I just looked at Pentair's site and the pump on low is only capable of about 60 GPM max with nearly no head loss.

 

[MrNica]

Might be the calibration of the meter, Will check shortly. I could have read it wrong as well. Did not have glasses when I read it. lol

The pump is supposed to move about 70/140 max on low (with little (10') head) I think. Do not have the chart handy. I should have very, very low head because of how I plumbed this. I have 2 2" main drain lines and a 2" skimmer line. Pump is maybe 15" below water level when the pool is full. Right now is maybe a 45" lift via 2 2" lines 16 feet away.

 

[jblizzle]

Well, most flow meters have a pretty large error band. Like 10% of the max. So a 100 GPM metere can be +/- 10GPM throughout the range.

The Flo-Vis is supposedly closer to a 2% error.

 

[MrNica]

It was 45. You were right. It is a flo-vis by the way. My eyes are horrible.

 

[MrNica]

The high speed, pegs the 2" flo-vis meter. It was dark where the plumbing is. Will take pics tomorrow.

So will you post a completed picture of your pool

 

[Casey]

Oh wow! Can't wait to see it full! It looks a lot like my liner.

 

[MrNica]

Yes, the area is a disaster right now because the patio still has 3 weeks to go. Will take pics after work tomorrow.

 

[MrNica]

Night time! Surrounded by dirt and construction debris. No leaks!

SWEET! With all of the pipes and such there could have been quite a few leaks. GREAT work that there were NONE!

Has the doggy gone in yet?

What are you doing for the patio?

That is the most valves I think I have ever seen! I am sure you did it on purpose. What all are you using them for? I see the bubblers on the tanning shelf so that could be two if you want to control each bubbler.............

[MrNica]

2 bubblers, 2 big ceramic pots in the corner that pour water in the pool and a sheer decent.

 

[MrNica]

Part of the electrical is installed.

[Casey]

That's a very clean, neat pump pad! Excellent job! You must be very proud!

 

[MrNica]

Doggy has his own float. His name is "Ponchito"

 

[teknic88]

Makes me wanna go back and do glass tiles on all of my pool.

 

[teknic88]
