I am grooving on the whole bleach concept...my yankee nature is so fond of efficiency.

I built this whole thing with recycled 6x6's set vertically in concrete and I left things a little low when I excavated (about 60") . I originally wanted to make it 4.5' deep but I came to realize that little kids in the pool will be working really hard to enjoy themselves at that depth so I am thinking of filling in the one end and making it 46" deep at one end and 54 or 56" at the other. Ideal for a kids vs adults volley ball game. Would family members agree this is a good plan...I have friends with fancy deep end pools and their kids hate that they cant really play or dive (in NJ) in the deep end.

If this is the case can you turn me onto a good, fast, cheap liner source.

I was thinking about my skimmer in the center of the long wall flanked by the two returns (because the lights wont shine in the windows).

Is it ok to put an inlet down low on one wall ( tee'd into the skimmer) so I can have a passive or active drain for the pool?

As far as the pump..if I used a Hayward S210T rated at 44 GPH and match it with a pump rated 44GPH at a 5' head I am ok?

Is a pool filler a good idea?

Good NJ source for a package of parts like this?

The concept of using the house boiler with an indirect tank appeals to me since I can replace the boiler with a super high efficiency condensing boiler down the road. If I do this would the PEX pipe for hot water be the way to go for direct burial and I am thinking i should insulate it. Am i trying too hard?

I wonder if I should run the gas line out there anyway since the trench is dug.
