Banana Bob,
It Just so happens that I design watershapes (Fountains pools and surrounding environs) for a living. Strangely enough I recently designed a tiki themed play pool and lagoon etc. for a post WWII house on a modest lot, (for shits and giggles, as I don’t run across tiki clients often) so I have some pretty well developed and workable ideas. Be cautious of pool contractors or pool builders, sadly it is an industry full of well… ah… lets just say it is easy to get burned. In the swimming pool industry sub standard IS the standard. If you like you may contact me via PM and I’ll drop ya my number if ya wanna talk. I’m not “going after your business” as I work on high end projects at massive scales. Rather I’m offering some sound advice on the best way to get started with your project and keep it on track. It sounds cool and I’d be remiss if I allowed a TCer to fall in with a “Bad Crowd” or go down a rutted road to an unknown destination without a map. Everything that has been mentioned in this thread is achievable although it is a more complex matter than it may seem, (i.e. hydraulics for fountains are much more complex than a T from the pump for example) at any rate I always get excited by this type of project, and I’m So. Cal ta boot so if ya get a mind to track me down, I’ll pitch in my 2 cents.
