Honestly, we only used the solar cover a few times. It was just too much of a PITA to use. We would rather deal with a higher electric bill due to our heat pump running longer than deal with the solar cover. If we had a rectangular pool where we could use a single piece cover which can use a reel for easy storage, that would be another story. It's one of those purchases that I wish I never made.Poolneophyte--Thank you for the advice on the solar cover. I was curious how we were going to deal with that issue!

Awesome! I understand your excitement! I like the shape and you have a nice, big yard for your pool. It's going to change the entire 'feel' of your yard. Didn't you say in the liner roundup thread that you chose a gray liner? Which gray liner did you choose?
So happy for you and your family!

This is the liner we picked:
It's Imperial pools/Vinyl Works and is called Gray Granite. We ordered it without a border.
I'm hoping it won't be as dark in real life as it seems in the pictures but we'll see! Either way I'm excited to be swimming soon!
deck jet.......some people find it fun to come off the slide under/into the spray of it.
What is the reason you got a deck jet? When you answer that then you may know where you want it put.
Equipment..........make sure it is all easy to get to and work on. The pump basket will need to be emptied so you need to be able to get to it with out playing twister LOL
The filter will need to be cleaned every once in a while so take that into account as well. Can you lift the top off where it is?
