Hi tracyb
You might want to look at the pools we are looking at.
The Artesian pools are very very good pools. The Echo Canyon, the Emerald Isle and the Diamond Crest. I think those are the top 3 . They have lessexpensive pools but I like those 3 the best. Here is a link:

That link will take you to their most expensive pool but, you can see all their pools on their main site. Just visit the site and click around to see all that they have to offer. Their 2 Top of the line pools come in 36'round !!! major selling point for us! Thepoolplaceonline is an site that sells these pools. I think one of the members here has bought the Echo Canyon from them. The company is based out of Tennessee. I did get a price quote via email for the Diamond, it was pretty steep- steep like my local pool store steep! I have been trying to call them on the phone to get prices on their other pools but EVERY time I call, I get a busy signal! Helloooo...... I want to buy a pool here....
Here is the site we will probably be buying from :
They sell 2 top of the line pools. One is called the Ultima ( it is manfacured by Artesian ) If i recall the warranty is 60 years . The other one is even better. It is called the Platinum ( it is manfactured by Wil-Bar which I think it is the parent company of Sharkline.) This pool has a Life-Time Warranty.
We hope to get the Platinum. I called the company and talked to them. They are willing to forego the "kit" and work w/ me on the type of pump/filter I want or do whatever it takes to make me happy. They seem like great people who don't make you feel like you are being scammed. They said they are the largest distributer in the country. They find the very best pools on the market and sell them. Visit the website and click around to see all that they have to offer.

Their biggest is 33' round.
I was also very tempted by the Tahitian manfactured by Sharkline. There is a thread here somewhere about them.
And yes the DoughBoy Poola are great. Just ask hrsDennis ! I love love love the gallery section on their website. Great place for decking inspiration.
I dont' know much about the Ester Williams but from what I have heard it has all been good. Aren't they a sister company of DoughBoy?
Have fun picking out a pool.
It's been an eyeopening experience for us.
