Just found this site. We have had 4 different bids and we feel like the below bid/company is who we like best and want to go with. But after reading lots of posts would like feedback from experienced pool owners. We would be first time pool owners and want to make sure we are careful, especially with prices jumping up in the past year. Here is our bid. Lots of opinions on IFCS (which is what we have below). But they are not pushing that, they just offered and it sounded like an easier way to clean with less things in the pool to deal with. They also use Jandy exclusively. I think biggest question for equipment for us is the pump and filter, any thoughts? And the size of the pool is a little concerning for us. We think it might be a little to small but our budget is already at the top. The gallon size seems small compared to our perimeter (compared to other posts we have read here).
Any feedback is appreciated.
