Desjoyaux Pools Quote - DIFFERENT PLUMBING SYSTEM - HELP!

[michelle73]

We are getting a quote on Desjoyaux pool. (http://www.desjoyauxusa.com).

This pool is NOT steel and NOT polymner and NOT cement. It's mixed polymner and cement. It is a polymer wall with "chimneys" in it - they pour concrete into these chimneys, it forms a base ribbon and a top ribbon. Also, their filter is very different...

There are no pipes - no PVC. The fillter/return/skimmer is ALL ONE UNIT and installs on the SIDE of the pool (like inside...) It has one massive jet, no main drains, no retuns (skimmer part of the whole thing). Please check out the website and give us your feedback....(we are building a 20X40).

We are intersted in this - the warrenty is very good. But has anyone ever heard of it?

Michelle (my belle ) from what I've read, you were going with a 'more traditional' type pool; polymere or steel. Why the change? (last I read, you were wondering the differences between Kafka, Ft. Whyne, etc) As the link you posted isn't working, I'll withhold proffering my opinion, til you get a good link going. -

Larry, thanks for the link!
Michelle, I'm not going to slam something from a quick read of the specs, however - I can see problems arising from the 'all-in-one - under-the-deck' unit (accesibility comes to mind) (i'm also doubtful about the alleged benifits),. The same holds true for the 'concrete reinforced polymere walls' , unless they are installing footing tubes under them, I fear that they won't hold up to the pressure of thousands of gallons of water. The process sounds new - do you want to be a guinee pig for this type of experiment? Maybe I'm just conservative but, I would go with a more 'tried and true' pool. Again, just my $.02.
