If all of my competitors were as stand up as The Pool Man I'd be in Hawg Heaven. They'll make you proud of your choice.

On your design I'll give you my .02

Ask for the credit on the Paramount Infloor cleaning system and take a Polaris 280 or a Pentair/Letro Legend with a booster pump. Take the credit and subtract the cost of the pool sweep (900 to 1000) Total credit 3300+-
Ask for the credit on the Ozonator (540)
Ask for the credit on Sundek (1815) and change to peagravel.
Apply this 5600 credit towards landscaping around the new pool.
I'd definitely leave the spa in its current location. On the right flank where it's located it won't block your view at all. It's positioned perfectly for minimal encroachment into the pool area and it allows gracious steps into the pool too.

Thanks for supporting the industry with your new pool purchase. You'll soon find out what all the hoopla of pool ownership is all about. Everything from having a cup of coffee in the morning, reading a book in the afternoon, to entertaining friends for dinner in the evening is greatly enhanced when conducted poolside. I promise you this, it's a lot more than just the swimming!!!

See ya,

Kelly,
First off, I appreciate the good things you have to say about The Pool Man. I did try to talk with you about giving me a quote. I left a voicemail and email but never got a response. I know you are very active here and have great insight into a lot of things.

I was planning on deleting the infloor and getting getting the Polaris 280 with the booster pump for no additonal cost. They will be using the Paramount drain and they are going to install the Paramount basket in the skimmer so I can sweep into the drain. I think it is a good comprise. What do you mean by the pool sweep?

I was also going to ditch the ozonator and Sundeck.

As far as the spa, I need to move it to the other side of the tanning ledge for two reasons. It is a 12" raised spa and I think it will block the view a little bit but the main reason is I am going to screen in my porch as I will not have enough space to walk between the spa and the screened patio. I could move the entire pool back but that is more decking, etc. I am going to enlarge the tanning ledge a bit so my 2 year old and soon to be 2nd girl have a nice place to play. Thanks for all the comments!

Steve
