Pool Liner Selection- Help, Please
Comments (1)Sorry, dont have this but I am curious if you have estimates on the cost. I have a similar sized pool that I would like to use a similar product on....See MorePlease help me select pool equipment and confirm pool order
Comments (1)Hi Markbr, Here are my 2 cents: 1. What Filter would you recommend for this. Go with a Pentair Clean & Clear cartridge filter. Easy to maintain and keeps the water crystal clear. 2. What pump would you recommend Go with a Pentair IntelliFlo VS (variable speed). I would also recommend an EasyTouch 4P or 8P (single body system right)? You will get the best interop between the EasyTouch and IntelliFlo. 3. Which Salt water system If you get an EasyTouch, get one with an IC40 salt cell (good for up to 40,000 gallon pools). This way you can use the EasyTouch to control the salt cell. 4. Which brand Heat pump and what size BTU. Haven't had much experience with Pentair ThermalFlo heat pumps but I hear good things about them. 5. Which cleaning robot, I would prefer one I didn't have to connect to tubing, just something I can throw in without work. I personally use the Pentair Prowler cleaner and like it very much. Easy to use and clean. 6. Which Skimmer to buy Admiral S200 with circular weir is my favorite. 7. Which return jets Not sure. 8. Which lights Do you want color or white?...See Morehelp on tile selection - glazed porcelain vs rectified porcelain tile

"Rectified tiles are ceramic or porcelain tiles that have been precisely ground and machined to give them near-perfect straight edges and exact dimensions. These tiles provide a very clean, symmetrical look, and allow for extremely fine grout lines of 3mm or less (typically using unsanded grout,." I would ask for another quote if the first one did not explain the difference and just gave you a name and price....See MoreNeed Help selecting pool finish with Tozen Tanzanite Pool Tile
Comments (3)I don't know if you are still working on this, but in rare cases people sometimes choose to use glass tile for the entire pool. It might be cost-prohibitive to your project, but properly installed glass tile can last a generation or more, whereas plaster and pebble finishes will need ongoing maintenance....See Moremusicteacher
