UPDATE: Well, it's been eleven years since we had our Doughboy installed. Scott and I designed and built our deck around the pool a year or so after the pool install. It turned out beautiful with the large deck and paver walkway from the house to the pool. I think I put links on this site on another thread of all three builds. The deck was the doozy, but we were still married at the end of the summer, when we finished the project (whew!). We had wedding cake steps in the pool, but decided to go with the ladder so we can leave the steps out when the pool is not in use. We had to have the liner and top rails replaced after the 4/11/2016 hail storm destroyed it (softball size hail). The pool still takes care of itself pretty much. We have the same 2-speed Pentair pump from the pool build and it's as good today as it was the day we installed it. We run it 24/7/365 on low with very minimal electric usage. We have the same sand filter that actually survived the 2016 hail storm and we've never had a problem out of it. In all, we invested just over $10K eleven years ago and have not had to put any more money into the pool or the deck. BBB is ongoing and can't be beat. I convert everyone I can every chance I get and direct them to TFP. We love our TROUBLE-FREE POOL and hope to still have it another eleven years....at least!
