South Florida - New In-ground Large Build

[Royd]

John,
Who was your engineer? Could you share his contact info with me? I am looking for a designer to do the hydraulic design and equipment recommendations for my infinity edge.

 

[John_and_Val]

No...they did not drain it. Actually.....it is good because the Anode Bags they use for electrolysis only activate with water.....plus it rained for 4 hours the night before. Remember folks......I live in the Everglades!!! well close.
as far as the pool - I ran a 2" line below the pool.........sliced about 3 feet of lines in it with a sawz- all and ran it back to the equipment pad. This way - if (hopefully not) i have to empty the pool, I just drain it - pop the hydro static's in the main drains and hook a trash pump up at the equipment pad..........

We met 2 times before we came to this. He ONLY SPECS POOLS! Good guy and has alot of knowlege.

Good plan for the future. Here is hoping you will never need to use those plans!!!

Bond Beam was floated yesterday.....raised it just a little bit to get a good pitch in the problem area. Don't think it will be a problem. And a little hint of a little waterline Bling.
More to follow!

Man that is so much mud!
Its awesome you have the space for a 1000 gallon tank. You will never have to worry about running out of power again! Shoot, your roof may be gone but all of your appliances will still be ready to go after a hurricane! Heres to AC all the time!

I have more questions on the set-up of this....

I am confused on the relays and operation of equipment.
Question #1: If I have 2 Pentair LED Bubblers on 1 relay - I know when I activate that relay - both bubblers light up- but can I have individual control of the colors or will both lights be the same color?
Question #2: If I have 3 Pentair LED Laminars on 1 relay - I know when I activate that relay - the 3 laminars light up- but can I have individual control of the colors or will all 3 be the same color?
Question #3: If I have 2 Pentair Intellibrite's on 1 relay - I know when I activate that relay - the 2 lights light up- but can I have individual control of the colors or will both of them always be the same color?
Question 3 1/2: I will also have a globrite on a separate relay- can I make all 3 lights sync up to each other.

Hope this is easy to understand.
And I have plenty more to ask!

Where are all my intellicenter experts?
I know there are at least 3!!!!!

J&V,

Calling... @MyAZPool

I see you have over an 100 posts and you have yet to set up a signature of your pool.. This really helps us when we are trying to answer questions..

Do you already have the IntelliCenter or just looking to buy?

I do not have the IntelliCenter so I'll just have to do until the right people come along. I had always thought that you needed individual relays if you wanted to make changes to individual lights, but I saw a post the other day that said that was not true. So looking at the EasyTouch/IntelliTouch if you set up the lights in the special lights section it asks you to assign a sequence number to each set of lights.. So for your bubbler lights. I know the system can light the lights in a sequence or flow, so it very well might be able to make each light a different color.

You can't hurt anything, just try it and see. I would try it, but I only have one white light. I may play with it and see anyway.

Thanks,

Jim R.

I will set up my signature......I am not finished building yet so was putting it off. Since all the equipment is in the garage - might as well put it down!!!!
I do own the intellicenter.....
And I too was under the impression that each item you wanted controlled needed its own relay, but i am hoping i am wrong!
I am about to have the guys start on travertine and I can get going on the equipment pad area. I have 11 electrical conduit runs coming from the pool...
2 - Intellibrite Color 5G's
1 - Globrite Color
2 - Globrite Bubbler's
3 - Laminar LED's
3 - Igniter's for Fire/Water Bowls
and at the Pad is the Blower for jets

Not quite sure how to bring all this pipe up behind my soon to be equipment pad and make it look pretty. I know Junction boxes can be used to condense the mess and that would be less wires going to transformers and relays.....
Just not sure how to wire it to get the least amount of transformers to do the job and have the functionality of being able to utilize the intellicenter to its MAX!!!!

 

[John_and_Val]

LOL.....maybe Kim....as soon as i find one that doesn't cost over 3,000 dollars - remember.....I need 3

There is a company out of Texas - called "Slickrock" - They have a very nice product from what i can tell. Has anyone ever heard of them? More of a fire ON water feature that looks pretty cool.

@bdavis466 @MyAZPool - I started a separate thread in regards to the intellicenter (in the "everything else section). Would you guys mind looking it over?

Kim - I am not sure if i should of just put that thread in this post?????
I merged them for you as I like to keep the "stories" together for each build.

Thanks for the help. Will post some pics in a while.

J&V,

Well, I played with my lights in ScreenLogic and re-read the manual ScreenLogic manual.. It says in several places "Each light must have its own relay and separate circuit"...

I tried to assign more than one "position" number to the same Aux circuit and that does not work..

So, at this point I can't see anyway that you can control individual lights without them being on individual relays and individual circuits, You can have several lights on the same relay/circuit, but it appears to me that they would all do the same thing at the same time.

This is just how I see it.. I could well be wrong, but it is my view until proven wrong. And, if wrong, I'd sure be interested in how it works..

Thanks,

Jim R.

Here is the link to Slickrock. Water & Fire Features | Slick Rock Concrete I had to share it as it is SO pretty!! I have not heard of them before. I wonder if you can call them and ask if there is anyone in your area that has them so you can go see them in person?? That fire on water is the bomb!!!
