The guy is older and he was one of the higher ups with one of the nation wide big builders and left them because he thought he could build a better pool with better service. He was kind of abrupt no BS kind of guy. However...

    cool lights

    We recently built a inground gunite pool. We were on a budget and the pb basically gave us no bells or whistles just a good pool. We have the standard Pentair lights. One in the pool and one in the spa. Just plain white bulbs. I have seen these color changing LED lights sold on Ebay and other...
