Default Swimming pool plumbing ?

Hi all,
I am going to install a pool within then next 6 weeks and have the design
and costs sorted. It will be 45 foot x 28 foot and is poured reinforced
concrete. I have poured this sort of tank before for agricultural
applications (Slurry catchment !) and it is really not a difficult job.
What is new to me is the plumbing layout. I need to know where water is
taken from to be heated and where it is delivered back into the pool. it
wouldn't be appropriate to heat water with a 500,000 BTU oil fired burner
and deliver it via a 3 inch pipe !!.
Is the water mixed with colder water drawn from another area of the pool
before being introduced to the pool ?
A website with a forum would be helpful or just somewhere where info could
be found. Any help would be appreciated. I will be putting up a website to
show the project from start to completion.


Are you going to pay someone to look after the pool on a day to day
basis?

When I was a kid, my parents had an outdoor swimming pool installed.
There was a lot of work involved in setting up and controlling the
chemicals in the pool.

It was not just necessary to control the chlorine levels, but also the
ph levels. Cleaning a pool takes ages.

The joys of having to hoover the bottom of the pool and clean the
filtration system out.
