Thanks for responding. I have had very little luck getting information. Dig plan was aquired and I now have someone to dig the hole for me. I have been given quotes up to $10,500 even though I already have the pool and when I asked for a detailed breakdown of the quote I never heard from them again. When I questioned one contractor as to why we would need 300 feet of 1 1/2 pipe on a 24 ft. pool, he never returned my call. The pool is still sitting in my backyard and a brand new skimmer is in my living room. I found a 3 month old filter and sand pump for $250 that I'm told is the right size for my pool. I have done some research and have read about installing sump pump piping under the pool. Some say it's a waste of money, others have told me horror stories of a hard rain during installation causing the pool to rise out of the ground and having to remove it and start over. Your thoughts? thanks

LCR? I'm not sure I've ever heard of that. Where can I find it?

What a thrill until.... Now that I have this 12 x 24 kidney shaped fiberglass pool shell sitting in my backyard I have to figure out how to get it in the ground as economically as possible. I have started getting quotes and am surprised at the cost. I really need to find out what a reasonable price would be for everything besides the shell to get the pool up and running. Just the basics for now... I've got the health permit and the building permit and I plan to do all the landscaping, etc. later on. I live in LaGrange Ga and the quotes are all over the place. Can anyone give me an idea of what this should cost? What are the 10 things I must know? How can I get an orange stain caused by stagnant water and pine straw out of the shell? Thanks so much for your help.

Is there anybody out there who can give me a ballpark cost and maybe 10 things I must know as I begin my journey?[/font]
