Getting a in-ground pool.

[OrangeChevyII]

This is the 3D concept, Slate stamped decking, 12" raised spa,4x8 w/6 jets, bench seat, Polaris pump, pool is 27x14 or 17 can't remember. Sun bathing deck, Felix steps, dual drainage, stones ect, stone waterfall and bubble fountain. It's a 4-5-4 depth pool, nothing too fancy. Even gonna overlay my existing patio to make it all match.

I'll pm you if you wanna know exactly what I paid.

That's what I got and it was 400 a foot.

3-400 a foot

For a no frills hole in the ground maybe. Throw in a spa, variable speed pump, decking (which gets $$ fast), stone, raised spa and the cost goes up quickly.

you can't do that. The chlorine would kill them.

don't you crush my dreams! When i hit the powerball i'll make it happen!

Is there a general price per foot costs to use as a guideline for cost around this area?

I would get a saltwater pool and put some saltwater fish in that bitch so I could go snorkeling in my backyard!

I upgraded the pump to a whisper system, it's not variable speed.

[goofygrin]

Sounds just like what your sayin Goofygrin, I didn't go with a 2 speed pump. Has the freeze sensor ect....I did get a Spa so the pool is heated as well.

Single speed pump or variable?


Single speed is a terrrrrible idea. Huge electric bills, noise, etc.

You want a variable.

One of my pool jandy valves just broke and i have a leak now on my 2" PVC feeding water to the spa.

Can't speak to their quality NOW, but in 1995, had a Blue Haven pool put in and within 1.5 years it cracked, called them and they said go pound sand.

Had Anthony Sylvan put in a pool (next house) in 2001, with my past pool experience, they were the ONLY one's that offered a lifetime gaurantee against cracking of gunite, yes it was in writing, hell the salesman said "if a plane crashes next door and it causes your pool to crack, we'll replace it"

But like I said, no recent experience with any company. Just an FYI, having a swimming pool gets OLD after a few years, and you'll start thinking "man I could have had some great vacations with this money I spent"

Funny you say that, I'm going to Cabo in two weeks for 5 days. I can't wait.

They are starting my pool today, I went with a mineral filtration system. It's a small pool as well, only 78 ft.
