| One thing I missed this morning on the other forum was the warranty.What exactly is warranted? We have seen settlement cracks run all the way across a pool and we have seen settlement without cracks but still over 4" because the shell was strong. The latter may not be covered. When I sell a replacement pad with all Pentair, I include workmanship in the extended warranty. I just saw the EZ Touch. If you add a Spa Command at the spa, you can control the temp, pump speed for stronger or slower jets, turn other things on like the waterfall, lighting... Brush once a day for at least an additional 2 weeks. The devil is in the details. Read the contract very carefully. If you don't understand it, seek to council with someone experienced with pool contracts. Everyone will want to play the CYA card. Is there a completion date promised? Allowances for weather? Scott |

| Wow, you-guys are the best! We took all these considerations to the builder and made some changes. We feel confident, after researching through this board, with our final decision. We signed on the dotted line today and are very excited....anxious about the building part of it, but extremely excited to be getting a pool. I have always wanted one and never thought we would ever be able to get one. I will definitely update with pictures when we get the build started. Thanks, again, to all of you for the insightful information and condsiderations!:) And to add to the excitment of the day, it finally rained here in League City! Woo-hoo! |
