we are contemplating putting a pool on our property. the person we have selected has offered us the following pool & equipment: Pool is mfgd by Fort Wayne, size we are looking at is 17 x 34 Pump, heater and filter is mfgd by Sta-Rite if we want other equipment he has no problem switching it for us. 2 of the other choices we have been offered by 2 other pool installers is: Hayward pump & filter, Raypak heater Jandy pump, filter & heater we are contemplating using a salt system instead of chlorine system do any of you have experience with the any of the above equipment and if so, please let us have some input. as for steps my wife wants to put the vinyl cover over them (same as pool), but we have been told to use a fiberglass one instead since we have a dog and we know she will want to go into the water occasionally. any suggestions/help we receive from you will be appreciated. if anyone wants to email me directly: isstax@yahoo.com thank you!!!
