Dear "Waste" (and all others)

Sorry about the link - I left off the / at the end of the URL. You are right - we are also looking at the Ft. Wayne Elite and Kafko pools (we also met with Pacific, Prestige and Regatta ) but in our thread, no one gave us any feedback that they had heard of these companies so we thought maybe we would see if you had all heard of this one. (If you have thoughts on the others, please let us know.)

Desjoyux seems to be very big overseas and from what we could tell in some of our reading, the main drain is not really neeed, it's the jets and the skimmer that do all the work - so this system seemed interesting.

The desjoyux pool walls will have sit on a ribbon of concrete and then have a 2.5' ribbon of concrete poured all the way around the walls that goes up 6"; same as the other installers have quoted. And this compnay uses rebar, wrie mesh, and fiber in all their concrete. They also back-fill with gravel. One company wants to backfill with dirt, because they say gravel holds water, can damage the piping, and pokes into the polymer walls. They pour a small amount of dirt, comact it with pressure and water, then fill more dirt, repeat comapcting, fill, repeat....then they lay the deck on top.

The desjoyux pool had a unique concept becuse there is no plumbing - and they say their pump (at low speed) pulls only 2.9 amps and has 120 GPM pull and at high speed pulls 180 GMP at only 7.8 amp draw. Doesn't a noral pump pull about 80 GPM?

Interesting concept....as for accessabitlity, the cover in the pool deck opens to the whole unit. To winterize your pool, you pull out the pump and store it in the garage or shed. That's it. And to clean the filter you pull the filter membranes out and spray with a hose (no backwashing ever) and you have to replace the membranes about every 3 to 5 years.

Thoughts?
