Plan Review... New Pool Build in Minnesota. First Time Builder, need your awesome advice!

Thanks everyone for all the help so far, most of the parts have came. I am just making sure I have everything at this point. I am trying to settle on the utility pad location. I have heard of negatives but the ideal location for the utilities is on the walk out location of our house and the pool would be at first floor level. This would put the pump and filter 8 ft below the pool. Is this doable or for sure not a good idea? Thanks!

No problem, some have equipment in their basement and its no different. You just need valves to stop the flow from the pool on all the legs so you can work on the equipment without flooding.
