Hmm, Hallmark and Aqua both left 52 pools in mid-construction. Weird.

Lana537, simicrintz, You are both correct that we were fortunate that they completed most of the pool for us before going bankrupt. Aqua left 52 pools in various stages of completion. I should have seen the writing on the wall though, three years ago they did 1,200 pools a year, two years ago...

I'm in Northern California and we just had a new pool installed. (First post here) See this for the full pool story... http://web.me.com/bilbrey/Pool_Renovation/Photos.html. The builders installed a Nature 2 system, with a Pentair Model 300 Chlorinator. It worked fine when the weather was...
