newbie -- looking for a long lasting above-ground (AG) pool

[pratzert]

I've never installed an AG pool, other than an Intex. The only things I know about AG brands are a few bits picked up at the supply house and similar locations, stuff I learn here . . . and whatever Google knows.

So . . . to answer your questions, I don't remember ever hearing of those brands, even though they may be rather common.

Thanks Ben.

Actually, that Home and Roam company has been out of business for about 14 years. I heard that Artesian Pool bought the pool business, and then it was bought by Wilbar.

The Aurora Pools were a special Resin type sub-business and when Eastern Mfg went belly up, Joseph Laputka started to mfg those pools in NY/NJ. After that, I lost track of them.
