I selected a premiere pool builder in Houston for my 29,000 gallon IG pool installation. Great references, very satisfied customers, and the pool tour allowed us to see pools installed from 6 years ago to new completions.
The contract did not specify equipment brands, just general specifications. The equipment delivered and installed follows:
Jandy CL580 DE Filter
Jandy LX400N-L 400 BTU Gas Heater
Jandy AquaPure 1400 / Aqualink RS with PDA (I requested a salt water system)
Jandy NeverLube Valves
Jandy JHPU2.0 Pump
Jandy JHPU2.5 Pump
As you can see, this builder used Jandy straight down the line. I had indicated I wanted a first class pool with budget being a secondary consideration.
My question is, do most builders (especially premiere builders) normally show this kind of product loyalty, as opposed to supplying the best equipment possible?
I'm not sure if the builder installed this equipment because he believes it's best or because he has a better relationship with Jandy.
