Hello,
My wife and I are looking to start construction of our first pool around January/February. It will be a 13' x 26' gunite pool with attached 6' x 6' spa and 12"x24" bullnose ivory travertine coping. It will be a broom finish concrete deck. There will also be 6" glass tile on the waterline and quartzscape plaster. We have worked with the contractor on the design and laid it out in the yard a few times. It will be 4' deep sloping to 5.5' deep with a bench across the wall in the deep end. I have been reading a lot here and feel like I have a pretty good setup going. I'm open to suggestions.
Components will be:
2 LED lights in pool and 1 in the spa (4bubblers in spa and 1 drain)
SWG
2 skimmers, 5 eyeball returns, and 1 main drain
Pentair Intelliflo variable speed pump
Mastertemp 400k BTU heater
320 sf 4 cartridge filter
I think it will be 2.5" piping throughout
I plan to add a robotic cleaner and some sort of cover once the pool and startup is done. I will also buy my test kit before the pool is filled. Any other things I should be planning on getting? Any issues with the components listed above?
