Above Ground Pool Research - Doughboy vs Leslies Pools

[pamedalah]

Looking to purchase a Doughboy, but wanted to see if anyone had any dire warnings. Leslie's Pools brand doesn't seem to be nearly as nice, but am doing my homework before plunking down the chunka-change.

I have a doughboy and i have no complaints. i dont know much about the Leslie pools.

Only thing about doughboy is that they keep parts close to the chest, by that, I mean if your local pool store is not a dealer, they will have to become one to get their parts. I had a guy come to me about fixing a pump, and I had little luck in a price effective solution. Doughboy would not give me the time of day to become a "dealer" since I am so small, and have no store-front. Their stuff seems well made though.
