Hi, I just wanted to add that I've been talking to Jay from Advanced Spa and Pools about a Sun pool. He's been very helpful, very straight forward. Does anyone have an opinion on Sun pools or ASAP? Thanks, Sherri

Hi - I've read most of the posts in the Fiberglass forum and I still haven't come to any conclusions. Of course, my hope is too avoid issues, get the best contractor & pool and end up with a beautiful pool I'll have for the rest of my life. I've found this is a much more difficult decision than I thought it was going to be when I started out. Ugghh...what to do, what to do??? Ok, at first I was going to go with Viking because they are supposed to be the best...I think. Then I was swayed toward WaterWorld but since they don't perform the Turnkey in Ohio I would need to line everything up myself. I'm starting to think that would not be worth the effort. I think the only pool I haven't seen a negative report on in this forum is for the Viking. We want a diving pool so with just the basics + heater, dive, slide, salt chlorinater, auto-cover (not an option, a reqmt), fence, we're looking at 63k which is unbelievable to me. I'm absolutely floored. I was expecting 30-40k max. There are a couple of Viking dealers close to me Shawnee Pools and Olympia Pools. Has anyone done business with them? However, I think the Viking is out of my range. My biggest surprise was how much extra all the extra's are but the Viking pools themselves are pretty pricey. I've read the most important thing is the contractor that puts it in. I'm checking into Sun and Alaglas but I don't know if they install in my area. I just sent them emails earlier today. It's seems that most of the dealers that I can find are in INdiana and sell Leisure pools. Which, I don't have anything major against them but they don't sell a diving pool, so they're not an option. I also have a message to Joe Ordini but I don't think he comes this far West. I'm really at a loss as to what decisions to make. Joe has Outer Banks pools on his website but I can't find an Outer Banks pool manufacturer on the web anywhere. I'm not sure about San Juan, there are alot of different opinions on that. I think they were the ones that require full payment before it's finished. I totally disagree with that. Can someone give me some unbiased answered as to whom I should choose? Thanks for any and all suggestions!
