Can I get input on this quote?
Does it look good to go?

They are price matching a competitor by:
Removing the following:

Automation

Matched the undersized heater
Removed UV Ozone
Moved Skimmer and auto fill to house side

The contract looks good to me. I know that firm, and we both live in kind of the same area. Premier builds almost all the pools out here.

The inline chlorinator using tablets with acid will shorten the life of your pool heater. The tabl;ets will also continuously add CYA to where you have to drain pool water to manage your water chemistry. We don't view using tablet chlorination as long term sustainable and recommend a SWCG for chlorination.

I would never pay 100% of the costs before the pool is fully operational. You should have at least a 10% holdback.

I know this firm very well, they'll never go for that. You can ask, but they build thousands of pools a year in Sacramento. Their process is locked in at a franchise level.

We are debating between them and sac pool pros. Premier has a life time warranty though?
Wondering if those downgrades will be worse off for us in the long run.

Thank you!

@1poolman1 is in your area and may have thoughts.

I think automation is a must with a VS pump, spa, and heater. automation is the brain that efficiently manages the equipment.

There is no substitute for BTUs. Get a 400K heater over the 266K. Everything will heat twice as quickly.

I couldn’t ethically tell you to pick one over the other but the contract looks typical, that much I can say.

Last payment "(10%): Day of Interior: $ 7,790 "
What does that mean? On the whole, the estimate looks pretty good and competitive.
