Artesian (Emerald Isle) pool pricing. Need a reference to go by?

UPDATE: I purchased the 12'x24'x54" Diamond Star (Wil-Bar) from www.sunenterprises.com. Purchase went very smoothly. I figured out how to get their Web shopping basket to work (click Back button to order additional items), but decided to talk to a human before sending ~$4,500 total.

I was a bit disappointed to find their Sandstone and Ultima models are made by Artisan but the Diamond Star is made by Wil-Bar. I was also bummed to hear the warranty is prorated... but when I checked it has lifetime warranty on pool walls. (I wonder how they prorate lifetime :-)).

Overall I'm happy to move from the research-and-purchase phase (took me >1 year) to the construction preparation. I'll be re-reading lots of construction posts and preparing my site this weekend and next weekend. (Level, level, level.)

Ohhh.. Don't be disappointed- Correct me if I am wrong but, Wil-Bar is a Sharkline pool and they are very good top of the line pools.

Yes, Wil-Bar makes Sharkline. I know the Diamond Star (branded exclusively for Sun Enterprises). We need a separate topic to decode which manufacturers make which model pools (and who carries them).

I have a Wil-Bar pool (Sea Spray) and have absolutely no complaints thus far. We are on our second year. All of the parts and items appeared to be of very good quality, it went together very nicely. Here is a link on TFP that shows how our Wil-Bar went together from ground levelling to swimming http://www.troublefreepool.com/viewt...ighlight=#2667

Enjoy your pool - we will want to see pictures!

Awesome construction walkthrough nwmnmom! I'll use your picture series as reference for my project. FYI, we took delivery of our 12x24x54" Diamond Star (Wilbar) pool two days ago. I'm doing construction notes in separate thread.

Thanks again for all your help & support!
