Hi Everyone. We finally received three bids and unsure about the equipment and steel/gunite structure as this is our first pool build. I was wondering if everyone could please take a look and provide your recommendation? One builder has all these fancy A&A parts to improve circulation and energy saving and sounds really great. We are just unsure if that is worth it for the premium.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
