Hi TFP!
Been lurking for a bit and just signed a contract on a new pool build in Spring, TX (suburb north of Houston) though I have until next Wed 9/15/21 to back out without any penalties. Was recommended this forum and thought I’d have you experts look it over before it’s too late! Let me know if any additional info needs to be added:
Pool/Spa Specifications
Shape: Geometric (Rectangle)
Pool Dimensions: 38’ x 15’
Depth: 3’6” to 5’6”
Volume: 17400 gallons
Spa dimensions: 6’ x 8’, 12” above decking
Equipment
Filter: Pentair Clean & Clear Plus 520
Pump: Pentair Intelliflo VSF
Cleaner: Choice of either Polaris 280 (w/booster pump) or Polaris 9450 Robotic - leaning towards robotic as we don't have many trees
Pool Skimmers: 2 Swimquip 2” tan
Pool Lights: 2 Pentair Intellibrite 5G
Spa Light: 1 Pentair Intellibrite 5G
Main Drain: Dual Channel Drain (Aqua Star Drain covers to be flush with floor)
Inlets: 2”
Remote System: Pentair EasyTouch 8 (phone app) - asked about Intellicenter but they don't support it. If it's really a big deal I can try and push on it.
Air Blower: 1.5HP QT
Spa Jets: 8 therapy jets
Heater: Pentair MasterTemp 400k BTU Natural Gas
Sanitation System: IC40 salt cell
Contract terms:
60% at gunite
20% at tile & coping

Thank you in advance for any insight you're able to provide!
