| Well I think it looks ok. Its not a very technical drawing. One thing I would change though. I would think you should arrange your inlets and outlets so that you have a circular flow around the pool. That would help your filtration get to all of the water and then you would only have a dead spot right in the middle of the pool. You may also want to add a small plant area into your filtration system. That will help pull the nutrients out of the water. So what are you going to put in it? How many gallons? |

I WANT TO GET LIKE 1000 TO 1500 GAL. The same concept as a heavily planted sump.... Unless those guys don't eat plants. Have the outlets pointing so that you end up with a very weak whirlpool. You want a constant flow in something that big. |

| i had a similar idea but on a smaller sacle (7 foot octagonal spa shell), and i was going to go saltwater. that changed when i had no where to put it and keep it warm enough, then i opted for a small pond, again that got shot down to the point of it just being a fountain. needless to say the spa shell i am currently selling because i do not have the time nor the space for it right now |
