| Hi, I've been browsing through this forums for a while, and I appreciate everybody's input, since I'm learning quite a bit. I am new to pool construction, we are getting ready to build our first one, and there seem to be so many options. We already have a bid for a pool (I'm posting the specs below), but the guy that was overseeing our project and design, suddenly left the company and I'm on the fence on continuing with them, so if possible I would love if someone can take a look at their bid and see if I'm on the right path or please recommend a reputable company that builds pools in Bellaire (we are known to have a very strict construction code in our city) so would love someone that has worked in this area before. It would be a plus if the same company can take care of building a bigger patio roof and deck and a small outdoor sitting area. Here is what we have so far: Custom Spa Pool structure: Beam to be a 12" box Equipment: We would like to be able to use the least amount of chemicals within budget in the pool, since one of my kids is really sensitive to chlorine. Their warranty is 3 year on equipment, lifetime structural and only 1 year on workmanship! - is that standard? Cost: about $50,000 (for us this is a HUGE investment) Thanks on advance for your input, it is appreciated. |

| Forgot to mention, coping is flagstone, waterline ceramic standard interior is something similar to pebbletech and 18" Raised Stacked Ledger Stone Wall with 3' Sheer Descent fountain. 6" Raised Wall with Stacked Ledger Stone Thanks. |

| Everything looks pretty good to me except for the pump. With your added information of the raised wall and 3 sheer descents, I would strongly recommend a variable speed pump and depending on what Hayward makes perhaps also a second pump. I use Pentair, which has a 3 HP, variable speed pump that would power everything you have and save you a small fortune on electricity bills. The price you have been quoted for everything you are getting and having to deal with the city of Bellaire requirements is fair, in my opinion. |
