Hello all. I've been checking this site for about a year and am desperately ready to get started on my dream pool. Advanced apologies if this is not posted in the right place, if I am asking questions that have already been covered, if I do not understand something, and pretty much any other mistakes I may make. I am very grateful for any help or information you want to give.
I am looking at ordering a kit from Pool Warehouse very soon, hopefully this week. It will be a 20X40 rectangle with sharp edges, black granite vinyl covered steps all the way across, no border on liner, possibly a swim out in the far end, and modern waterfall/waterfalls on rock or rock look wall in deep end. Modern, especially for Arkansas, but still using natural elements when possible instead of ultra modern concrete everywhere. Area is in full sun pretty much year round and pretty much no trees within 50 feet of pool.
Now for the confusing part. I can decided everything about what I want it look like, but equipment and making sure it actually works the way it is supposed to is HARD! Trying to decide on a salt system, pump and filter. My PB recommends The Breeze SGS but is fine with a Hayward also. Looking for recommendations on a system that will work well, be easy to maintain, doesn't cost a fortune and that lasts. You know.... your average white whale.
I don't know if it's a regional thing, but a lot of people I know around here use Hayward.
Also, I need to know what pump to go with. I have read and read until I just can't anymore, so I'm going to you, the pros. Obviously, these are not things we want to have to replace any more than absolutely necessary, so looking for quality and a good value.
Thanks for reading and for any advice!
