I want to make sure I'm understanding correctly. Do you mean that getting the pool for $20,000 is part of an option that comes with building a new house? Can you share the specs and equipment that are included for $20K? Is it an inground pool or an above ground pool? What type of chlorination or sanitization are you interested in using? For example, using the typical chlorine method or a Salt Water Generator system (SWG or SWGS), which produces chlorine, to sanitize the pool from germs, etc.
Whatever information you can give will make it easier to help answer your questions. You can look at the signature information under our posts for tips on the type of information to give.
Congratulations on your future pool!!!! You're in the right place for information, support, and encouragement - and sometimes a few laughs!!! Take care! Suz.
