Thanks for the advice.....so many people close by. I was hoping not to have to go for the 8 as the price keeps creeping up - I'm flabbergasted at the cost of this project....but you are right. Better to have extra and will definitely talk with the PB about the Pentair SWG. We are almost...

Ok. Below is what we have planned....1st pool so would love any input on anything I'm missing or should think about. 32x16 (toying with 18') with 7'x7' spa. Pentair Clean & Clear 420 sq ft filter Pentair IntelliFlo pump Pentair Mastertemp 400 Pentair Rainbow inline chlorine feeder Autopilot...

32x16 or 18

Hi All, In the process of bidding PB for a pool. Our yard has several live oak trees that - once trimmed - will shade approx 1/4 of the pool. Does anyone have any advise on the best pool cleaning system to handle the trees and acorns etc. We researched: auto pool cover - dropped due to...

I couldn't agree more.....Sometimes the internet is my worst enemy. And I realize there is a installation cost to consider as well. I brought it the group as I am just trying to do my due diligence that I am paying a fair price for the upgrades offered. Thanks for the input.....its helping a...

Thanks for the insight....I figure that install costs and misc equipment adds up quick (and I expect the PB is added a little onto everything for himself). I just want to make sure its in the realm of normal. The SWG is a separate line item at $700.

Regarding the payment plan, is it standard to require final payment on the day that the pool is plastered? I read here (and completely agree) that we should reserve final payment until the pool is completely finished. To me, filled and all equipment working would be completely finished but...

Sorry. Southern California....La Verne to be exact. I believe I have heritage oaks.

Thanks Jason! Might have saved 10 grand there. They did offer and autopilot nano salt chlorination system.........is that a swg? Sorry for my ignorance. And we plan to trim tree as much as possible. Currently cover 3/4 of pool area. Hope to get them back to 1/4 or more. We are in so cal so...

Hi All, We have been interviewing pool contractors for 2 months and I can't seem to sort through all the bids/conflicting information. We are looking to build a pretty standard saltwater 32x16 with 7x spa, 2 waterfall features, 50 linear feet of stacked stone, 800ft acid washed deck, hybrid...
