Mesh. Adding 3 ft makes sense because of course the cover has to extend past the pool, which definitely gets the square footage they gave closer to making sense. It does seem odd that the cost would be based on measuring the largest possible rectangle you would need to cover the pool when the...

Sure would love any more contacts that might be able to help.

That would be around 30 feet.

The poles are easily removable and shouldn't be an issue. Measurement took about 30 minutes. One guy taking some pictures using a ladder.

It should have pushed me away as well. Unfortunately, I reached out to multiple companies and these were the only guys to get back to me, and I'm sort of desperate to get a cover before fall rolls in. Further fishiness: I did finally find someone else who can give me an estimate, and they...

Hmm you're right that does seem off. The pool is about 45 ft long, but only about 25 ft at its widest point (It's shaped kind of like an 8). That should be 1000 sqft max. These guys took a $350 deposit just to do the estimate, but now I'm feeling like I need to have someone else come out and...

I recently had someone come out and take measurements for a loop loc cover for my in-ground pool, and am a bit flabbergasted by the estimate. $10,782 to install a pool cover. I know this is a quality cover, but it seems high. My pool is rather large (1581 square feet according to the guy who...

Thank you so much for the responses! I'm really happy to hear about the rebates. Makes the cost savings even more evident. The Tristar VS pump says it's 1.5HP. Hayward TriStar VS Pump - W3SP3202VSP - INYOPools.com Is that enough juice to replace my current 2.25HP pump? I do have a ~600 gallon...

Recently moved into a new home with a roughly 35k gallon pool, and have gotten a bit of sticker shock with my first energy bill. Looking at my hour by hour energy use, I estimate the running this pool pump for roughly 10 hours per day is DOUBLING my energy usage. I took a look at the pump...

I went and picked up one of the Taylor test kits from Leslie's. While I was there I had them run their own test so I could compare the results. I followed the instructions in this video My measurements: Free Chlorine = 2 ppm Total Chlorine = 1 Combined Chlorine = 1 pH = 8.0 Total Alkalinity =...

I'm a brand new home/pool owner living in San Antonio, TX. Pool is beautiful, but doesn't seem to have been properly maintained and now it seems we're going to have to do some draining to get the stabilizer levels down. Trying to get up to speed and determine whether this is a project I can...

There is some slight staining on the bottom of the pool, but nothing worth fussing over. I assume they want to clean it because they get paid to do so? My goal is indeed to be able to maintain the pool myself, but I am quite new to this. I thought I would begin by hiring someone to take care of...

Moved into a house about 2 months ago with a roughly 30,000 gallon in-ground gunite pool. The guy who had been maintaining it for the previous owners showed up a few times to clean and adjust the chemicals, but then went AWOL. After about a month of not hearing from him, I hired a company to...
