Hey, Cobra. The "pay as you go route" was just an option about which I was curious as to whether or not it was feasible, practical or possible to do. I will definitely be using the traditional build method; I was just curious as to why someone would suggest such a thing. (Perhaps that...

Ahh! Good looking out, Jason! I hadn't even considered patio area lighting, other than perhaps adding lighting to the ceiling fan in the to-be-built pergola. I do have lighting on the side patio already, but thought I'd use some metal solar lights for ambient lighting around the pool deck...

Hi, Randy. Thanks for responding. What's most important is that I get a quality pool built. I have not decided that I will do the phased construction -- it's simply an option that's on the table. I am single and have a limited budget for this project, and I do not wish to finance it if at...

Thank you for responding, Jason. Again, thanks so much for responding. My goal is to put together a total package and then shop it among several PBs to obtain the best pricing. Francine

Hi, all. I posted a while back about having a wood-walled AGP installed. Well, after spending much time on this board and another pool forum reading the many posts, I think an IGP will be a better investment. The thing is, by the time I add on new decking and other peripherals, the AGP was...

Thanks, Jason. I am slowly making my way through the many, many informational posts here. Hopefully, by the time I do receive my pool, I will be well-versed in proper maintenance thanks to troublefreepool.com.

I'm so glad you guys posted these pics! I saw one of these in one of the pool supply catalog and thought it seemed like a good idea, but wondered how it worked (and if the light would be too faint). Your pics tell me that I might have to look into getting on of these!

Hi, Jason -- thanks for responding. In your opinion, would the Xstream CC-1500 (150 sq. ft. effective filtration area w/ 120 GPM flow rate) be a good choice if I pair it with the Power Flo Matrix SP-1591 3/4 hp pump? Or would the included Power Flo II SP1750 1/2 hp pump paired with the...

Thanks, Ritz! I'm pretty much getting this pool for the furkids. (Black dogs and Texas heat don't really mix well, even though they live inside!) If things go as planned, we'll be swimming by February/March. In fact, I am going to go ahead and place my order within the next week or so --...

I'm preparing to place an order for (and deposit on) the above-ground pool described in my signature. The pool package includes the following Hayward equipment package: Power Flo II Pump model SP-1750; Star-Clear Cartridge Filter Model C-250; Weighted Vacumn Head Model SP-1068DL including 1...
