    Oh no. We can't run and test it yet. It is there but not really connected to anything. I will forward this question to pb. Builder says since I don't have a spa it should be ok. Our pool is 17x35 rectangle pool, no spa, 5 returns, 3 sheer descents and 1 bubbler. Thank you. - - - Updated -...

    Hi Everyone. Our builder installed 2" suction lines and 1.5" returns but our contract is for 2.5" suction lines. They are changing the suction lines to 2.5" and keep the return lines at 1.5". Is this sufficient or should the returns line be changed to 2"? Please help as we know nothing about...

    Thanks for the comments. I didn't think all those parts would be $5000 more but the builder is very reputable here in the area so we are still unsure. Builder 3 has no bench in the bid and the deck is much smaller compare to the other two builders, 333 sq ft vs 450 sq ft. I was going to...

    We didn't get Bart and I'm not too fond of my sales guy either but I didn't want to dismiss a good builder just because of the sales person. So hard to make a decision since I don't know anyone that owned a pool in Dallas. We moved from California and summer here is awful.

    All of them include clean up, grading and top soil, sprinkler reroute and Fence but no sod.

    True and so many restrictions so I'm not really sure what exactly are covered. Can the pool crack without soil movement? - - - Updated - - - Thank you and I agree with you but my husband is in love with the stepping stones so he knows that he needs to clean the spaces manually. There is a...
