Hi pool party people!

12" concrete bondbeam footings
3 side LED lights 1799
Cartridge filter - Jandy Cl Cartridge - 460 sq ft

2 widemouth skimmers
4 total returns
Aquapure SCG with aqua link PDA controls - 2499
Undertrack Coverstar auto cover, flat lid - 10,999
Polaris pressure pool cleaner 999

Total 60,592

Anything I should ask about? Thanks in advance!!

Three LED’s are good for that size.

Remove the pressure cleaner and add a Dolphin M500 for that big pool.

Report back with the depths and gallons. It just depth and we can figure the gallons. Then also report back with the proposed filter size for a check.

Model #’s on all equipment.

Any handrails? Many folks say they wish they did them not considering older relatives or themselves a few years after the build or due to an injury.

Basketball hoop? Plan ahead so the metal sleeves can be bonded during electrical before the decking is out in.

And that’s a good price in the autocover. Does it include a walk on lid? Ours uses large stones and it’s nice to be able to walk in it.

Updated with a few more details! Thank you!

Valves-kind and how many? I would have the main drain and skimmer on home runs back to the pad and each one getting their own valves. There are valves that are rebuildable like these: https://www.jandy.com/en/products/valves/neverlube There are others out there. These are just the first ones I saw so grabbed them.

Is this a vinyl or concrete pool?

Vinyl
