Barb - yes, former pool that we never got into ... just threw money at to keep clean. Now we still throw lots of money at it but its a whole lot more satisfying and fun!
Kathy - 38' long by 23' wide at its widest spot ... more like an average of 16' wide. 6.5' deep at the center. Back when it was being used as a pool it was said to be 27,000 gallons, but i raised the floor somewhat on both ends and my guesstimate is that it's now 18 - 20,000 gals.
The former spa/hottub is now the fountain/falls and that weighs in at 750 gals. The filter system/settlement tanks/piping/etc. adds another 400 gals or so.
All of this is moved around by a Sequence 7200PRM23 pump rated at 7200 gph (actually it's probably pushing around 3500-4000 GPH). The system is set up for two of them but the flow rate is just too high with both running so I alternate them weekly. This makes me feel very comfortable that I have one as a spare if the other should break down.
As I said, it's a hole in the ground that we throw money into, but it keeps me off the streets and out of the bars ... so all in all, a good thing.
Keep Smilin'
