Hi there! I'm new to this site. I found it while researching pool vinyl liner colors, and it seems to be a great reference for information on all things pools.
We are looking at installing a 16 x 40 pool (8ft deep) with a 10 x 10 tanning ledge (1ft deep) on one end to make an L shape.
Saltwater pool, vinyl liner, cantilever coping with stamped and stained concrete around the perimter (8ft on ends, 4ft on sides).
The pool we are getting quoted has a diving board, a 2 x 6 bench at the end on one side, 2 led bubblers in the tanning ledge, and we've ask that the automatic pool cleaner be included in the price quote.

So far we have one quote back for $60k. We are trying to get a couple more before deciding on one.

Would love to know if this seems reasonable? We are also having a lot of trouble deciding on a pool liner. I've looked through a post on this forum that included lots of pics of liners.
I originally thought I wanted darker water, but now that I've looked at so many pictures, I'm starting to lean toward the medium to light blues.
I want the 'pebble' look with no tile border on the top, and would prefer to stay away from brown tones in favor of light blues, medium blues, white, cream.

Would love recommendations for others with pools along with pics. Thanks so much!
 
Also, I've ask about possibly adding some led deck jets to one side. Was thinking about adding 3, but I was quoted $1800 a piece including installation in the concrete decking. Does that seem high? Was hoping for feedback from others on what they paid for led deck jet installation.
 
Hey there... that first quote doesn't sound entirely unreasonable, but without firm details on equipment I dunno? We can help you find a good robot cleaner for less than you'll usually get from a builder.

As for the deck jets, folks say they play with them when the pool is new, but they often stop using them later as they can be noisy and make chatting hrder to do. For THAT kind of money I'd think twice about them!
