Proper circulation in shallow beach entry

[beary]

It's a good question. We interviewed about 8 recommended contractors and he seem to have the most experience with good answers to all our questions. We talked to some of his past customers and they like him a lot, especially his support after the pool was built. None of them seem to have any big issues. He uses people he has used for years because he knows the quality of their work. He back that up by telling me why he didn’t other crews. Information I already knew.

He knows I read forums and has been very open to my questions that I learn from here. He even tells me that if I can find better prices on equipment to go a head and buy it.

Talking with all the contractors, beach entries are kind of new thing in our area, so we couldn't even find one to look at accept at a brand new demonstration pool. My contractor has done some shallow areas in pools (tanning ledges?) and he likes to use normal returns in them to keep circulation in the area. I trusted him on that, it was my son who was questioning the idea because he has worked with pools with poor circulation areas. A normal return just seemed like a lot of water coming out in a shallow area, so I was wondering about other ideas. The bubblers are very interesting and I will see what my contractor thinks of them. Likely he has installed a few, but we didn’t know. I think we thought they were fountains.

I appreciate all the help from you guys.
