I just had a pool company out as I was interested in the Wilbar Optimum pool they sell/install. Why are they so much more expensive than online?? He said the pool I want, just the pool, would be about $10,000-$12,000. (RoyalSwimmingPools sells the same pool for around $6000), and the complete package with install would be $18,000-$20,000. I told him no thanks, so he said he'd see what he could do and is working me up a quote.
From pool factory, I can get a Saltwater LX, same size as the Optimum for around $2500. Is the Optimum really that much better? If I was putting it on the ground, no question I'd get a cheaper pool. I am putting it about 18-20 inches in the ground though, so I'm not sure about the less expensive pool. The guy from the pool place kept telling me that the Optimum was made to go ingound and that's why it's so much more expensive. Any thoughts on this?
