- What do you think about the depth/size of pool?
- What about equipment specs? I was considering changing it to Pentair line but wasn’t sure. I did ask about SWCG, but was recommended against it.
- What do you think about the heater size? How would a hybrid or a heat pump version compare?
- Plaster wise, currently I decided on Finest Finish Radiant Fusion either in Regal Blue or Blue Jay. Any idea how this compares to other alternatives? I feel the PebbleTec lines are too “busy.”
- Coping I’m planning on changing to Travertine
Thank you for your input.
