So, despite being a newly registered user, I've been a huge fan of this site for years. I used the BBB method reliably for three years at my last house on my 15' AG pool, and loved how easy it was (and inexpensive). I never registered at that time because I was able to find all the answers I needed just from the web site itself.

Fast forward, and I've been without a pool in a new location for three years. My trusty 15' pool went with the last house. We're ready for something much larger. I'm looking at either 30' or 33' round AG, but am somewhat lost in the options. The last pool I had was a used pool when I bought it. I got it for $300 if I tore it down and moved it myself. As such, it was more of an impulse buy than anything. No thought went into filter, pump, liner, etc..... I just used what it had.

That said, to any of the pool experts here.... If you were going to buy a new pool, with all new equipment, what route would you go? Traditional BBB as recommended here, or SWCG?

Also, I know I don't want too big of a pump for my filter and have seen the equipment combination recommended elsewhere on this site, but is a single 1 HP pump really enough for a 33' pool? Would I be better off with the addition of another 1 HP pump/ skimmer to aid in circulation on the other side of the pool?

Thanks for any advice!
