Pool Placement and Pool Selection

[hrsdennis]

Hi, I think the stainless steel panel is a big pain. I also don't see the advantage. With a little maintanence now and then your skimmer and return should not leak.

If you have not yet seen this thread

do so. Lots of good pool buying info. The pool you are looking at looks good also.

Check warranties and IF you decide to buy online, you should always check out the dealer at the Better Business Burea Online (BBOnline) AND find out where their actual brick and mortar business establishment is and check the Better Business Burea in that state for them too. If you see that they have several complaints in the last 36 months, move on to someone else, even if the complaints were addressed or settled, who needs to deal with someone that has that many to begin with? We checked VERY closely on each dealer we looked at...the one we settled on had NO complaints and has been in business for MANY years. We were satisfied with what we got and the service/assistance they provided as well.

Then once you decide on a pool, do like Dennis and CarlD always say, put ALL the rest of your efforts into the surface you are putting the pool on...that is the make or break of a good pool that lasts...
