    Pentair Rebel

    Anybody considering this new model? http://youtu.be/Mys-r1dmouM I have a 2 years old Pentair Great Shark and just spent $100.00 fixing it. Still working great but I thought the new one might be an improvement.

    Newbie in FL: Just signed for pool build. Questions.

    Please check my posting about what I wen thru to get my first pool: 15x34-new-pool-in-tampa-bay-florida-t40367.html Since you are willing to spend more for the travertine, why don't you consider pebble for the finishing instead of marbletite?

    15x34 New pool in Tampa Bay Florida

    I had the builder use their own paver contractor (Couch Pavers) but I will never let anybody from them to get into my property again.

    I have 2 good bids to build a pool

    15x34 New pool in Tampa Bay Florida

    Before the pavers were installed, I had the electrical and plumbing done for the kitchen. After we passed inspections, another company installed the kitchen over the pavers.

    15x34 New pool in Tampa Bay Florida

    Honestly speaking, Larry Varner (the owner) seems to be a honest and good guy, however I think his wife running the business only damages the outcome.
