Help with Choosing the Right Pool

[dmarino16]

If you are planning to install it yourself, I would caution you that I've heard from a bunch of people this spring who decided to do that, and have been pretty unhappy with the results. Now, that's not an accurate sampling -- the people who try to install AGPs themselves, and succeed, don't post! But, I would recommend thinking twice, or three times, before you pull the trigger.

Intex pools are another matter. If you can get the ground level, you can install them. And, Intex now makes some pretty nice, and pretty large, rectangular pools. You may want to replace the pump and filter, but the pools themselves seem to do pretty well.

I plan on having the pool professionally installed. I am just looking to find brands which will fit my needs. I have been looking at doughboy pools but I was quoted by one dealer close by 8,400 for a 16 x 3. That is way out of my price range. My budget for the entire project is about 13k
