    What benefit would that provide over the easy touch?

    Pentair Equipment Help

    Honestly, it sounds like more stuff to break And have to constantly download firmware for to keep it communicating. I don’t feel the need to use my iPad to turn my pump off.

    Pentair Equipment Help

    Thank you I’m pretty sure the EC was more money online. The filter I listed is cartridge (I think) I have the cash for the bigger SWCG I looked up all the automation systems and determined anything beyond the easy touch wasn’t necessary since I only have 1 body of water.

    Pentair Equipment Help

    I am putting together a list of Pentair equipment to pair with a 12,000 gallon fiberglass pool for a PB to quote and hopefully install next spring. Can some of the pros share their opinion and if you think I should change anything out? • Pentair Quad 100 Pool D.E. Cartridge Filter (Pentair...

    1st World Problems…FIberglass Pool Manufacturer/Model Selection

    2 other people in the Facebook fiberglass pool group texted Thursday on different days and got the same response. I doubt they have a rogue employee dispensing advice not backed by the 2 owners. Also the the Thursday rep who held the dealer conference said the same thing.

    1st World Problems…FIberglass Pool Manufacturer/Model Selection

    Nope, I have Artistic coming out next week to give a hard quote for the South Beach (now Jul 2023!). I met with a reputable custom gunite PB today who uses pebble sheen finish and am getting a quote this week for a 20 x 40 free form (with SWG!). I anticipate It to come in the same price as...

    I agree that it’s Not the SWGs, but rather the uniformed consumer that doesn’t know how to use it properly. Here is the text exchange with Thursday….

    1st World Problems…FIberglass Pool Manufacturer/Model Selection

    Yeah they told me they haven't made a formal statement yet (probably because everyone wants a salt pool and they know it will cause people to go to different FB manufacturers who aren't saying that. I direct messaged them on FB (they answer you right away) after I had a Thursday dealer spend 2...

    Pool New Build costs

    No one knew the 2007 housing market crash/correction was going to happen until it started. Even then, no one knew the extent of it until it kept going south through 2010. I bought a house in March of 2020 and had lots of work done (solar, roof, new kitchen, basement finishing, painting, etc.)...

    Hairline Cracks in New Fiberglass Pool

    Structural? The gel coat is the barrier and once that it’s comprised, it will only worsen as time passes. Complete BS for the prices they are charging for these shells for them to start spider cracking immediately only to be told it isn’t structural. Without taking the shell out or excavating...

    How did you like artistic pools? I got a quote for 90k for a south beach w/ swg, propane heater, led lights, and slide. Seemed high again when comparing it to gunite.

    Yeah, San Juan has no warranty for gelcoat whatsoever, only 25 structural to get it hold water and that’s it. Thursday Pools said to not use salt with their shell. I don’t think Dolphin will be around to support a warranty claim. Fiberglass is definitely no faster than gunite in this market...

    That is extremely helpful and will narrow the decision making drastically. So that unfortunately eliminates the Thursday Pool Aspen. The only 2 Thursday Pool dealers me are unexperienced and just became dealers like 2 weeks ago.

    1st World Problems…FIberglass Pool Manufacturer/Model Selection

    Hey everyone, I live in South Jersey and am a sucker for punishment so I have decided to buy an in-ground pool in this economy. After researching the pros/cons of different pool types, I have fallen into the Fiberglass pool camp but have quickly realized after getting some “proposals” from...
