    My condolences! That is something I always think about -- a pool wall collapsing and emptying the pool. My yard is relatively flat but it is slightly sloped towards my house. I'm gonna replace my pool before i get to that point!

    I hope you'll get the info you are looking for here on the forum. Welcome! Glad that after 3 years you decided to register!

    I would be very leery of their 30 year warranty. Go over it with a fine tooth comb. Is it the pool manufacturer or the shop's? How do you use it if you need it? What pitfalls does it build in? "Warning: Warranty is void if liner or pool wall is exposed to UV rays!" would be an example of a way to make a warranty worthless. Who has them installed and what do they say about them?
