Welcome to the 'page!

Pretty vague info, so tough to say if it is good or not :? Whereabouts are you in S. California? Lots of good builders, and lots of not so good builders......

Oh yes, you want to be as specific as possible...Bruce has built some wonderful pools...I'll let him guide you through this

Things like how many skimmers, how many returns, filter type and brand, equpment brands on swg, pump, type of finish on the pool, plumbing size. And that's just off the top of my head.

San Gabriel is a little far to drive to take a look, but if you PM me I'll be happy to look over what you have and help where I can.

I love pools (thanks for the nice words also, dmanb2b ) and am happy to try and help, if desired.

Get it built right, and keep hanging out here, and you will be a happy pool owner
