Hi Sarah. I have been working with River Pools based in Warsaw VA. I really wanted to work with a Co that mfg and installs the pool, but I also really liked their website. They have a lot of articles and videos on their site about everything pool related and made it me feel like they weren't...

Thank you everyone for your inputs and suggestions! I think you are all right and so I'll pick the blue color I had liked initially :)

Hi TFP community! To all those that have FB pools (or those that don't but have knowledge or feedback) what are your thoughts on a white vs blue fiberglass pool? I like the look of blue better, but from what I have been reading online white may "fade" less noticeable over time. This pool would...

Thank you so much! I definitely have read a lot on here about going as big as you can for cartridge filter, so I'll make a point to ask about upgrading that for sure. Appreciate your feedback 🙏

Hi All! So I asked the PB about the pump and cartridge. He told me the following below. What do you all think of this? According to their site, the specific FB pool I'm looking at it would be 17,300 gallons. "The cartridge filter size is a 150. The pump is a Pentair 1.5 HP Supermax Variable...

Thanks for taking a look. Yeah I noticed the Cartridge wasn't specified at all for size or brand. Also didn't see a brand called out for the pump either (not sure what the best pump brand i should target). I know from reading things here I will want to get the biggest cartridge size I can get. I...

Hi All - This is just an initial budgetary quote I got for a fiberglass pool. Hoping to get your feedback if you see concerns or changes you would make to this? I don't know if this is very detailed. I feel like I have seen other quotes posted here that seem to have a lot more information in...

Hi TFP community! I saw what I thought was contradicting answers to this, so wanted to just straight ask and make sure I get it right 😀 I'm I'm the early stages of possibly going with a FB pool build and I had my first consult which was pretty short. I have a preliminary budget quote and wanted...

Oh my goodness! How scary. Happy to hear not only people family, but pet family made it through! Everything but lives can be replaced

Thank you to all for the replies - definitely very good information and call outs mentioned! I edited my post to include these and organized it. I'm sure I wont have as much time in the initial meeting to go over everything, but I'll continue to compile any further feedback you all have narrow...

James - that was really good list to check! Thanks! Yes I am sure the PB will see me as a nuisance haha. And with the industry being so tight and I'm sure they have so many other projects they could do, I may be turning them off. But that's ok :-) If it doesn't work out, I'll take it as it...

So sorry to hear about loss of house :-( I hope everyone made it out ok

Hi TFP Community! I have my first consultation soon with what hopefully will become my future PB 😊 I’ve been waiting for about 3 months just to talk to a salesperson, so I have had a lot of time to fester and think haha. I have compiled a list of questions I intend to ask below. Was wondering if...

Thank you Casey! I'm torn between a mesh vs solid with pump. Both seem to have appealing reasons for sure! Yes I have been reading iron is more likely in well but can still happen regardless. I'm not on well, but it's definitely something I have to think of. One of the bigger reasons I was sold...

Thanks NewDude! Your comments about SWG help cement my decision to go with it! I know like anything there are pros and cons, but I think SWG is 1 that I haven't really seen much cons on. I have seen a lot on here to only acid wash if absolutely neccesary. So Ill remenber that. I'm not worried...

Hi Casey! Thank you for very much for reply and guidance! Beautiful pool too! I am hoping to get something similar looking with a regular rectangle. I would love auto cover as well but definitely afraid about the cost (upfront and replacement/maintenance) as well as if it breaks down when I...

Hello TFP Community! Glad I found this site (I think I saw it recommended after reading countless forums on reddit about pools), as there is a lot of knowledge and valuable advice on here. I don’t have anything listed in signature yet, because I am still working towards getting one haha. I’m...
