Johnny Weissmuller Pools

I am thinking about getting this pool:

Does anyone out there own one, and any positive or negative feedback?

I don't know much except I believe they are the less-expensive line from Esther Williams Pools.

I don't have anything else to compare it to but we have a Johnny W. pool. The pool was purchased in 1990 and we are the third owners of the home where it is located. It's still in good condition. Our liner is now leaking but that has nothing to do with the pool construction. Who knows how many liners this pool has already had.

Here in the Valley of the sun the two biggest stores I install for both sell Doughboys. Why doesn't anyone ask about them? I would have to say that most of the upper end pools are very close in quality and it is important to price the package.

Dennis,
If you could search through the PC forum (Pre-Crash) you would see literally HUNDREDS of posts on Dough-boy pools. They are generally considered one of the very top A/G circular and oval pools, though they have had some problems occasionally

But they are also a far better known brand than Johnny Weissmuller, which, I suspect, may be a more regional brand and is, I KNOW, the less expensive line of Esther Williams pools.

As mentioned above Esther and Johnny pools are both made by the same company, Delair. Delair makes very good pools and they are completely aluminum. Aluminum will outlast steel. Doughboy makes a good pool however, all of their pools are going to have steel walls. As far as steel pools go, Doughboy makes one of the better lines.
