What upgrades? Ordering 21' salt from the pool factory

[bitsofluff]

I'm trying to order a 21' semi in ground saltwater from the pool factory but have no idea about all the systems I need to add on. I've read that you need the uni-bead liner and better ladder but need help on the systems to run there pool!
Thanks so much!

I bought a 30x15 Saltwater 8000 from them last year. I went with a 2 speed sand filter pump and the Hayward RJ SWG. I run it on low for 10-12 hours a day. Low speed saves so much electricity (3 amps vs 12). Water is crystal clear and super easy to maintain. I got the thickness unibead liner they had (40ga). I would say no to insulated walls because I have read it does nothing and cost a lot extra. Everything else I got from Amz/WM or local pool store, floor pad, foam cove and winter cover (it was cheaper or better quality).

Also invest in 316 marine grade stainless steel bolts, washers, nuts and clamps. Most of my bolts on my filter platform and hose clamps didn't make it through the season. They were only 304 grade (from Lowes). You will have to go to a marine supply place or order them online.
