Anyone? Any help at all would be appreciated.

We are planning to put in a vinyl pool and need a builder recommendation. Also, the houses that we've looked at that already have pools are all gunite. (None of the houses with pools fit our needs, so we have decided that we need to find a house and put in our own pool) Is there a good...

Thanks for the suggestions. Any thoughts on a wood pole in a salt water pool? Well, not technically in the pool. The sleeves will be in the decking.

We have ordered our pool, but haven't begun our dig yet. Our plan consists of several umbrella sleeves around the pool. We saw some big umbrellas at Costco last night and we were wondering if those would fit our needs. I know that they have a wood pole, does that matter? I think that they...

OK, I just read Pool School about cleaners. Now I understand the difference between the types of cleaners. Any thoughts on a Polaris 280 with pump vs. a cheaper robot?

Re: Automatic Pool Cleaners Yes, that is with the booster pump too.

We ordered our pool from Royal last week. Originally I was planning to get the Polaris 280, but now I'm seeing all this talk about Robotic cleaners. I honestly don't know the difference (I've never owned a pool). If I'm paying $750 for the Polaris 280, and if there is something out there that...

We ordered the Aqua-Plus 4 & 40K Salt Cell. I was told that the Color Logic LED lights could be controlled through that system. Is that also true if we decided to buy the Intellibrite LED lights or would we still need to purchase the Intellibrite controller? Intellibrite isn't sold where we...

Thank you! Very helpful information!

On the Royal website their LED option is for Color Logic. I found a better deal on Intellibrite LED at Pool Supply World. Are the Intellibrite LEDs compatible with a Royal inground vinyl pool? Additionally, how do I know what size cord I need? Do I measure where the pool is planned to go to...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU !!!!!

OK, so we decided to go with a smaller Grecian L. As per the suggestions here we have also upgraded to a 2 speed pump, and a larger filter. Any other suggestions? Are the Color Logic LED lights worth the extra cost?

Are there benefits to either liner thickness over the other? Royal doesn't offer a 27mil without a border. I really don't want a border on our liner, which means that I need to select a 20mil. If the 27mil is a better product than I will sacrifice and get one with a border. I'd love to hear...

We are almost ready to make our purchase. I'd love your feedback before we place our order. I'd love to get the cost down, but I'm not sure what is worth cutting. For instance, are the Color Logic LED lights a lot better than the basic white lights? If you have a Cozy Cove, do you use it...

Thank you. Yes, I did look at that but it's still hard for me to visualize how it will look with such a small image.

I would appreciate that, thanks!

We're trying to choose a liner for our pool. This is a daunting task! It's hard for me to envision what the liner will look like under water. I'm leaning toward a darker blue liner (specifically: Tara brand Carmel or Ocean Wave or Montego Bay). If anyone can post pictures with these or...

Obviously we want a good quality pool but I'd be thrilled if we could get a deal on one. Any suggestions on where I should start looking?

Where can I read to educate myself on solar panels? We are hoping to finally put a pool in this spring. The builders that we've talked to don't seem to know much about solar panels. I'd like to educate myself and decide if it's a good option for us. Thanks! FYI: we've also discussed going...

Re: Pool Build - California Dreaming - Still Dreaming...... Your creativity amazes me! I was so impressed with your pool, but everytime I check back here you take it up a notch. Your family is going to enjoy the fool out of that backyard. Bravo!!

My spouse found this company online. They have a local franchise here, but none of the franchises seem to be BBB accredited which makes me nervous. I've never heard of them and would like some input.

This is what we're going to do for aerators. I'm sure that others will give you more ideas. http://www.mistcooling.com/poolcooler.htm

Hi Tim. We are planning to build this spring. We are outside of Memphis. Who is your pool builder? We've met with a few. I'm just curious if we should check out your builder too. Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestions. I will look into it!

We are building a pool this spring. We can't afford a slide this year, but plan to put one in next year. The builder says that we have to know exactly what slide we want to put in so that they can prep for it with the pool build. I've been looking at the Interfab slides, are there other...

A few comments, you'll get a lot more too :mrgreen: 1) for the above part of the quote, what's the price for the basic pool package? 3) Does the $1800 for the pentair chlorine generator include an Easytouch or intellitouch control unit? It should for that price. quote] The basic pool...

I've enjoyed watching your pool build. We are considering a similar pool. I'm looking forward to seeing pics of your decking and coping too.

We've decided on a vinyl pool (to keep costs down) with an upscale look (which is driving the cost back up). I would love some feedback the proposed equipment and how we might get our costs down w/o sacrificing too much. For instance, we want a slide but have decided to plumb for that with the...

Are there any concerns with this set-up? It looks really pretty. I think that the PB we met with said that we uses the same stone on the wet deck, stairs & swim outs that he using on the coping. I LOVE the look, but I"m wondering if there are concerns with the stone being submerged in salt...

Both houses were built in 2000. I will definitely take your advice and look into the pool more extensively.
