Hello all,
We have gotten four bids now and have two more to go before making our final decision on a builder. We are being told many different things about everything from every company...they all seem to have different opinions and preferences. We've pretty much decided to go with vinyl. We don't feel confident about the builder for the one affordable concrete bid we got.
Last night we had a vinyl man tell us that salt water pools are very corrosive on all the equipment and on the pool and decking. Is this true? He says that we will probably have to get all new equipment in seven years and switch to chlorine. No other vinyl builder has said this to us.
This man recommends the automatic chlorinator that you put chlorine tabs in. Is that a good set up? Or is it better to just put plain ole bleach directly in the pool? Are the tabs much more expensive? Can you get the kind of control you need with the tabs?
Thanks!
P & C
