    New Gunite Pool in Houston, Any Comment on this Design and Equipment?

    Thank you, Kim, for your comment. I should mention that 3' and 5.5' are the wall depths (not the water depths). I talked to the designer to change the wall depth to 3.5 feet. But about the deep-end depth, the wall depth of 5.5' means the water depth will be less than it. In that case, do you...

    Hello all. We have started getting quote to build a swimming pool in our backyard. We didn't have any pool before (no experience), and we will be totally new to this world! I hope we can have your input/comments about our future pool/equipment. Thank you.

    Just curious, why saltwater vs chlorine?

    I read all the greats comments here about saltwater. I would like to ask if saltwater is corrosive to the water features and other pool equipment (pumps/pipes/...)? I will be a pool owner soon, and all the pool builders whom I interviewed, didn't recommend the saltwater. I should mention that...
