Well, this is it. We have begun the process of having a pool installed and the dig will begin in a few weeks. We selected a Blue Hawaiian Fiberglass pool, the "Bayshore" model ( 14"X30"X6"). I chose fiberglass because i use a wheelchair and concrete just scrapes up my legs and knees big time. We went with a local builder who had great references with the BBB and Angies List. His quote was the best out of the three we interviewed and we both just felt comfortable with him ( Hawaiian Island Pools out of New Port Richey). I have never owned a pool so this is all new to me but the information on this site has been invaluable! My back yard has a tree that is going to be removed and we are also having 800sq feet of concrete deck with the acrylic coating installed with the pool. For a dude in a wheelchair concrete is my friend and tree roots are not,lol. I never go in my back yard now but that is soon going to change for the better :-D We are also going with the salt Chlorinator ( Aqua Rite) , Hayward 1hp pump, Cartridge filter, and a big pool party that everyone is invited to. Thank you all in advance for the help because i know i will be asking questions along the way........
