LOVE IT!! That looks like they took a lot of time setting it and did great work!

Will you be adding shelf and step markers? You can cut the bigger tiles into 1/4 and make little tiles for this purpose.

 

[chris8725]

Good question! There are supposed to be step markers. I didnt notice that they weren't there.

 

[jimim]

Looks good! Maybe today. Remind them just in case. Lol. You know how that goes.

Is this the same as the touch?

This is the very basic automation from Pentair. It is not the same as the Easy Touch.

 

[chris8725]

Electrical done.

Did u ever find out about ur returns? Did u ask about valves? I would Deff remove that salt cell when u fire up after plaster.

Yes, 8 returns. The PB believes the valves are not necessary. And i did ask them to remove the salt cell before which they agreed to do.

 

[jimim]

that's a lot of returns. very cool. i would add valves cause u really might not get the water movement you need based on ur pump size. that way you can close down to increase resistance. you need to be able to have resistance so you can skim. i know others know more about this but i would want valves. i would also wanton know exactly which are tied into each other so you can problem solve down the road. so say 4 are tied together. say 1 pipe gets a small leak. you loose all those returns then. if each or eve n2 were tied together then u would only use that 1 return or 2. not say 4 or more depending on how he has them tied together.

Looks like 10, 4" DIA drains, 2 that are beyond the deck. What do yall think? Need more?

 

[kimkats]

You know the rain and drainage in your area so use that knowledge to decide that.

I LOVE the shape and amount of your decking!

 

[chris8725]

Yeah ended up being almost 1200 sq ft of deck.

The plaster guys were out today to do their cleanup prior to them applying tomorrow. We picked a regular plaster vs pebble. The guys applied plaster with pebbles in it around all the returns. Is that normal?
