Just curious if you're happy with your Hayward Summit Heat Pump? I'm considering getting one, and I'd love to hear what you think about yours. Thanks!

Thank you for the reply! Have you been happy with your Pentair heat pump?

Thanks so much.... your information was a huge help. I did call and talk to Asa yesterday.... also a huge help! I see from your signature that you have a Gulfstream - are you happy with it? Have you had any problems? Thanks again!

We're trying to figure out what to do as far as a pool heater goes. We have a 25,0000 gallon AG pool. Here are the 3 main factors we're weighing out: 1) Our pool is about as far away from our gas meter as you can get - the quotes to run a gas line are CRAZY expensive 2) We live in Michigan...

Hi there! I'm not sure if this is the correct area to post this question... hoping so. We have an above ground SW pool and we are getting ready to build a deck. We are either going to go with pressure treated wood or cedar - composite is not an option. I'm just wondering if anyone with a SW...

We're in Michigan... and we'll definitely have to worry about freezing. I guess it's a good thing that we switched pools because it gives a little time for me to do some research and weigh the pros & cons of main drains. So much to learn! ;)

I'm not sure how exactly they'll prep for the pool??? I know they are bringing in machines, and there will definitely be some leveling to do. The installers came highly recommended by the pool sales company, and also had good reviews online. I know they also do in-ground pool installation, so...

Thank you for all the feedback... and the slaps! I just wanted to give you an update on what we decided to do. After another sleepless night we cancelled the steel pool and opted for the all resin pool. I don't think this was a situation where there was a good choice and a bad choice, but...

Thanks for your input. I appreciate it.

I'm in Michigan... so the pool will definitely be closed. Using a salt water system will void the warranty if the pool is not resin. :( - - - Updated - - - Thanks for the feedback. The concern is not actually the pool walls, it is the supports and rails. The PB said those will rust if we...

Thanks.... lots of great points. I appreciate the slap :-) I'm in Michigan...so no swim time if we wait. I'm okay with that. We'd have a couple a disappointed kids, but I want to get it right for years to come.

First, thank you for the awesome resources that are on this site. I have learned so much... but I think it's all a lot to process in a short amount of time (especially for someone who has never owned a pool before). My husband and I purchased a pool 2 weeks ago, and it is scheduled to be...
