Welcome to TFP! :wave: And congrats on deciding to get a pool. We LOVE ours!

I'm in Cypress. What part of Houston are ya'll in?

Differences in locations even within the Houston area can affect differences in build costs. How did this bid compare to the other bids?

Can you post a picture of the pool plans or rendering?

Again, welcome aboard!

Take care,
Suz.
 
Hi Suz, thanks! We're in Sugar Land.

One of the other bids was $5k cheaper, and the other two $5k more.

I'll try and post a pic later when back to a PC.

Really looking for advise on the equip, etc. anything look out of whack?

Thanks again
 
I have to agree with a comment made elsewhere that a pool built in 2015 should have LED lights. It's the most surprisingly cool feature of our build.
 
Lots of folks here would say ditch The booster/Polaris and go with a robot instead. I wish I had.

How do you plan to chlorinate?
