Thanks for the help... I saw some of the info on Fanta Sea and they look great, but I think Carl said his was $8k or more.... That's a little out of my range right now....

The more I look, the more I'm drawn to Artesian... Quite a few people here have great things to say about them and I think they're within my price range. I'm also curious about Doughboy and Esther Williams products.

What I'm struggling with is figuring out which pool models have which features. I'm reallly having a difficult time figuring out which models are aluminum vs steel vs resin, as well as which I should use, given my locale. Got any advice for me?
