Just finalising the details for my 8.3m x 4m x 1.3m saltwater skimmer type pool with concrete steps to one side (plan attached with new pool deck area shown in yellow), and I'd greatly appreciate the forum's thoughts on the best positions for the skimmers, drains and return jets. We are based in Thailand just in case the warmer climate makes a difference!
I was initially thinking of having a floor drain (or maybe two??) and two skimmer boxes with the return jets angled to create clockwise water flow. Concerned about water movement around the steps so will probably add an extra jet there as well, but despite a lot of searching (and conflicting info) I am really lost on where best to position everything. The pool is sheltered by the house and a boundary wall so I am not able to position the skimmers downwind as I have seen mentioned elsewhere.
Any thoughts on the best arrangement, and any benefit to having the return jets at the bottom of the pool rather than the top due to the hot climate? All constructive comments or recommendations would be gratefully received.
Thanks guys!
