I have enjoyed reading all the posts in this pool/spa forum and it has given me a valuable insight to how and what homeowners are thinking about and their concerns as well as the other comments from pool professionals.

I am a high end pool builder and I enjoy building top quality swimming pools. At one point I did build swimming pools without structural and geotechnical engineering. As an APSP Certified Building Professional, I no longer compromise on building inground concrete pools without SITE SPECIFIC STRUCTURAL AND GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING as recommended by the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals.

I think this is a fantastic service for the community and offers the possibility of gaining new found knowledge about issues related to the pool/spa industry.

I simply have no more time available to participate here but I am glad that and hopeful that I was able to contribute in some way, hopefully positively.

All the best to everyone!
