Thank you in advance :) Here is what the quote has 96 perimeter 577 area

| The following are important: Equipment brand and models being used Scott |
|
| Thank you for the additional questions Scott- these are his answers The equipment brand we use is Pentair. We do not use flex - Schedual 40 PVC. 3in Dual Main Drain with 10in pots. There are 4 returns, returns are 2in. Rebar is 3/8in on the walls and floor with 10in centers and 1/2 4 bar and beam. Bond beam is 12in, floor and walls are 8ins. Strength of the gunite is a 6 sack mix. We use flagstone on all of our jobs, although if you would like brick it would be $800 more. The sunshelf is 6ft or custom at no extra charge. Pentair has a 3 yr warrenty. Polaris has a 1 yr warrenty. |

| If you have Pentair, then use a Legend and get the 3 year warranty. He just wants the vacation for selling enough Polarises. Scott |

| Scott correct me if I'm wrong, but I think getting an Intellibrite LED light counts toward the 3 pieces of equipment needed for the extended warranty. Then they could go with the Polaris cleaner. Of course nothing wrong with the Legend either. |

| Okay, I looked it up. What I found said you had to buy a pump, filter and one other item. Lights , cleaners, and other assorted things qualified. |
