Agreed! I appreciate everyone taking the time to comment. Here are some more answers we have, and we're having another phone conversation tonight. Just got this email, so I haven't researched them yet myself: Pentair: a. Pump 011057 - VARIABLE SPEED POOL PUMP WITH BUILT-IN SAFETY...

Thanks for the links. It's a really nice oak. Wonder if we just need to rethink the position of the pool. Yeah, kitchen adds around 4.5k, the waterfall wall is 2k. the slide is 2.7k. I think there are cheaper slides out there. May just need to cut the slide. Those options are about 10% of...

Have been debating going with a traditional shallow to deep rather than volleyball style for just that reason. I'm concerned about the slide position as well...his next update is supposed to move it to the deeper part of the pool.

The thing that gets me with all of these quotes is - they all came in about the same price range (80-90k) and were all about the same size (all around 35x16; 100-105' perimeter) saying this was a "large" pool. My initial gut reaction on all of these is that it seems small for the cost. It's...

Thanks for the comments. Very good information regarding the control device. I'm trying to nail down what they are suggesting. So, this particular pool builder primarily goes with an in-floor cleaning system. I've done a lot of reading and you-tube watching, and it seems people either love...

Thanks for the comment. The tree is about 38' from the corner of the porch, shortest distance. The pool will extend between the house and the tree. I'm trying to get an overhead shot to get the exact distance away from the pool. They told us during our last meeting but I didn't write it down...

Long-time member (mostly due to learning how to manage a SWCG for an above-ground pool), but we are in a new house now with larger yard and decided to take the plunge. Here's what we have so far. I'm surprised by some of the DFW quotes I'm seeing here, because our quote is similar in size to...

I love this thread. Thanks so much for everyone that shared. We are in the process of selecting a pool builder, and the design we like the best is from a PB who primarily does IFC systems. After researching here and elsewhere, my main concerns were potential for leaks and handling of leaf...

how did you attach the bungy cords? The cover we have doesn't have eyelets or anything to attach to. We are having quite a hard time keeping our pool cover provided by intex on as well...looking for solutions...may have to go with those spring-clips.
