    + Whisperflo is an excellent pump -- but get a 2 speed model.

    + I personally don't like cartridge filters, but large ones seem to perform well on the West Coast, in areas where there's not a lot of debris (leaves, bugs, etc) getting into the pool.

    3' of decking might not be enough? I have 8" on one side and four on the other. four seems to me like the minimum or it feels tight when you walk past peopel ect... I also had my concrete contilevered 1.5" ofer the pool edge and it gave a very high end look.

    In New England the price would be much higher than what you're paying.

    Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately my yard is too small for more than 3'
    Will look in to your idea re. cantilevering, cheers.
