    Cleaning walls

    Our dig starts Saturday and today when we met with the pool builder he said there is no reason to get a robot that clean walls?? He said it was hard on them and causes more issues. He has the regular Hayward Sharkvac and I was looking at ordering online the Dolphin Nautilus Plus for the same...

    Which robot??

    I'm looking at all the options and reviews but not sure what would be best since I've never owned a pool before. They are gonna dig this week, so I thought I better get this ordered. Our pool will be a 20x44x30 with a 6x20 sun deck and underliner steps. Looking at the Dolphin oasis Z5 but really...

    Deep end dimensions

    The pb is getting close to what we want. The wing wall is going away at the bottom of the stairs but over all dimensions of pool is good. My concern is that our deep end only has 20' 6" and I originally thought it had to be 24'. We are having a diving board, so this concerns me. I need some...

    Vinyl pool liner

    Did anyone else have a hard time picking a liner? I'm a visual person and not seeing it in a pool is hard. Our builder uses Loop Loc. Anyone else have that brand that could post pictures. I want a medium blue that has a little more Aqua color to it. Thanks!

    sun deck water depth

    We are in the process of finalizing our pool design and hoping to dig the first part of August. We will have a 6' sun deck that will be 20' wide with two bubblers. The water depth is at 9" on the sun deck. That seems about right but wanted other people's opinion who have sun decks. Thanks!

    Winter cover

    We were given a price of $4,000 for a meyco mesh winter cover installed. The size of our pool will be 20x44x10 L shape. Does that seem high??

    Bubblers

    We met with our #1 choice pb to get final pricing before signing contract. I asked about having 2 bubblers in our sun deck and he didn't seem to want to do them at all! Said they stick up and not flush and didn't even seem interested at all in giving us a choice to having them. Also..we have...

    Lounge chairs from Sam's

    Keter lounge chairs are back in stock! I read where someone was wanting them, so I thought I would pass the info on. Does anyone have the grey and are they good quality? I love the looks of them and the price is amazing!

    Getting frustrated

    I need help please to understand something. We started off with a 1,280 sq ft pool and it came out to be $23.58 a sq ft base price for just the pool. Then we scaled down to 1,152 sq ft and it then was $25.68..both were L shape. People keep telling us those are way to big, so I priced a 1,000 sq...

    Fox vs only alpha

    More questions..sorry. We are trying to decide between two pool builders. The one we went to yesterday that we like is almost $10,000 less than the other. I believe they do their own material and it mentions hourglass bracing. The more expensive builder priced a fox pool. When he followed up we...

    Too big??

    Hi..I'm new to the thread and need some advice. We are looking at doing a 18x46x 20x40 L shape pool. We have 5 kids and want a deep and separate shallow end for volleyball and game area. We are doing underliner steps that will take up 4 feet in the shallow area, so that leaves 36 feet off...
