Just remember that, if you do it that way, warranty problems are ALL yours.

If the installer sells the pool, and something goes wrong, he's on the hook. But if you buy the pool from a 3rd party, and there's a problem, the installer will usually say 'the problem is with the pool', and the 3rd party will say, 'the problem is with the installation'.

Just sayin'
