    SWG- Brand to brand comparable products.

    I'm on board with a VS pump to go with SWG. Done deal. Now I'm a bit torn. PB with Jandy uses PebbleTec and we really really like 2 of the PebbleBrilliance finishes.

We like the long pool heading out from the house as our floor plan is very open and you stand in the front of...

    First Pool Build - Jax, FL

    Funny you say that about over sized SWCG and filter.... Just had one PB tell me that filter size, pump size and SWCG size are determined by county inspector.
