So - here I go about to star build-my-own pool #3.

I am in the planning stages and have seen articles, etc on building in ground gunite pools with out a main drain. All seems to make sense to me. Interested if you regular pool builders have a strong opinion.

As I understand it you add an additional skimmer - I am building about 90ft perimeter free form and would have 3 - and additional returns placed to move water toward the skimmers. This allows for plently of circulation and completely eliminates any chance of entrapment. Not to mention the Polaris wont get stuck.

Thanks for your input - I am sure I will have many questions as I go and will try to keep you all posted on the progress.

(FYI - pool build is in Katy, TX.)
