Hello All,
Joined this forum after my dad made the recommendation. He's been on here for years and always speaks so highly of it. Naturally, when I came to him with my plan to build a pool, this was the first place he said I should go. I've been coming here for information for the past month now and realize why my dad speaks so highly of it.
I am planning to start my own pool build in the next few weeks once this cold weather breaks and I would like to share my plumbing design for some advice. I have plenty of guys in the industry planning to help me with this build, however, I don't seem to have any one person who could design the whole plumbing system, so I took it upon myself. I've attached some photos of the diagrams I've come up with so far. I plan to have a free form gunite pool approximately 18' x 42', with a deep end around 6', and an 8' spillover spa. I also plan to include 2 bubblers, 8 deck jets, and a stone waterfall on the deep end side. Below is a list of equipment I plan to use, I welcome any insight anyone can share.
Hayward Omnilogic Automation with Salt generator
3- Hayward Ecostar 3HP Variable Speed Pumps
2- Universal Colorlogic Pool Lights
1- Universal Colorlogic Spa Light
8- Hayward Deck Jets
2- Hayward Colorlogic Bubblers
Hayward Pro Series Sand Filter
Hayward Natural Gas 400K BTU Heater
4 Main drains in the pool (one set for filter system, one independent for water features)
2 in the spa (may need 4 though, one set for filtration and heating, one for jets)
2 pool returns
2 spa returns
2 pool skimmers
rough in line for possible future pressure cleaner (planning on going robotic for now)
One of the big reasons for my post is because Im trying to find the most efficient way to plumb this system while keeping it simple enough for automation to run it. I'd like to be able to use each water feature independently, or all together. Spa spillover, spa jets, deck jets, waterfall, and bubblers. They why I figured I would need at least 3 pumps, and I also figured it would be easiest to get each feature to work and be able to control flow if they were all VS pumps. I'm planning on plumbing the whole system with 2" PVC.
Thankyou all,
Dave
