It’s hot and humid here in Texas and my family is ready for a pool. We are slowly getting bids for a gunite / plaster pool. My wife and I have never had a pool so we have everything to learn.
Our plan is for a rectangular pool, 16x36 or 38. Spa and ledge on one end that would each be about 8x8. Swim area will sport pool configuration, 3 1/2’ - 5’ - 4’.
After talking with someone who got taken for a ride, we have decided to avoid the “pool guy with a truck” and go with one of the local, well-known, established, certified pool builders. So far, one uses Pentair, one uses Hayward. One likes sand filter and one likes cartridge. We insist on chlorine.
We have 2 young kids, so safety is the top priority. We will be very interested to learn about keeping the kids safe.
I look forward to learning about all things pool related and having a good way to enjoy the hot, humid summers outside. Thanks!
