This will be our first pool, and while I've read many of the posts and guides on choosing a builder and the design - I would appreciate any comments/suggestions on our plans.
I know we want to add the salt system - but am hearing lots of concerns about salt and whatever we ultimately choose as pool decking. He also offers an upgrade on the decking to travertine pavers (760') at $3400. Thoughts on pavers and the need/estimated costs to reseal every couple years?
I'm also concerned that with the size of our spa the 8 jets wont be enough - suggestions? Should we also plan to have jets at the floor/feet area and seating area?
We haven't discussed an in-floor cleaning system - thoughts on that? I've read through the forum and seems mixed reviews with comments about operating costs being high.
