Artesian (Emerald Isle) pool pricing. Need a reference to go by?

[mjs31]

We are probably going with the Emerald Isle 24' 54" round AG. The only problem is I have no reference to go by on what is a good price for this pool. Only one local small time dealer carries it and I cannot find any prices online. Could someone out there that has something similar give me some feed back? Just talking about the pool and maybe some type of package that came with it. Not any installation.

Thanks for your help.

Hi.
This is were we bought our new pool from.
http://www.sunenterprises.com/abovegroundpools.htm
The pool in the middle called the Ultima is an Artesian.
We just bought and installed the 33'round. Even tho they call it the Ultima it is still an Artesian- they are just allowed to give it their own name.
If you call them they will answer all your questions and concerns.
This is a great company to buy from. Their customer service is primo!

Good luck

Do a google search and then start calling online dealers... I highly doubt your local dealer will be the best price... I found the average price for pools online was about $2000 less than what a local dealer was charging, when you're looking at pools priced above $6-7000.

I'm not sure i've ever seen an artesian price online either... They may have a policy against publishing their prices, to discourage price wars.

Also, look for renamed brands, like hoffmans said...

yea sun enterprises is a good bet, i also got mine from them
on ebay ,i had an issue with the liner when they delivered but they sent a new one,just inspect everything after delivery

and no need to overkill on the pump most you need is probably
a 1 hp pump with a 150 lb sand filter

there is only so much water that can got thought the hose opening so more power doesn't really mean cleaner water

i pieced mine together and have a nice setup if you set up up yourself ,make sure ground is level do not skimp on it

also consider the work,i thought i could do all mine by hand and it was over 2 feet off level from 1 side to the other which means alot of digging me and my brother took a good week to set it up and clear the ground i believe a bobcat would have saved 6 days

good luck

We were really happy w/ the customer service from www.sunenterprises.com.
Our ladder was damaged during shipping. When we told them about it they replaced it immediately.
We choose the the basic pool package and said "we don't want the pump, but we will take the sand filter. " We bought a 2speed pump from here: http://www.poolsupplies.com/parts/waterway-hiflo.asp
It is very quiet when on low.

Good luck on your purchase!

Thanks everyone. We bought the pool locally and are having it installed. Even though they give a pump with the purchase, I bought a smaller 2 speed (Pentair Dynamo) based on charts. Probably just throw the pump they gave up on ebay or something. Either way everything should work out fine. Our yard is Bermuda which could causes some issues. I have already marked off a large section where I want the pool to go and have sprayed with super concentrated round up. I will probably due this a couple of time before the install and they will end up digging anyway. I just feel better getting a head start on the Bermuda.
