    Yes - you are correct but if you keep reading 10. Do not vacuum the pool with a wheeled vacuum for 14 days, to avoid leaving "Wheel Marks". Brush type vacuums may be used immediately. no wheels this is a brush vacuum

    I was told the more consistently I scrub it daily the better the finish also run the Durado everyday and keep the Filters clean. They will be there for the start up and walk us through everything. These guys have a great rep so I feel pretty comfortable using them.

    I was going to install my own Fiberglass pool but for a few more dollars I can have a cement pool. I may have the builder run all the plumbing and I can install my own equipment. Many thoughts on heaters? i heard they're expensive to buy and use? Do they really increase your bill that much? thx
