Lots of good feedback. I agree with this post especially because I like to walk in the pool for exercise & wish ours was one depth, not graduated as it is. No one jumps in the pool so 6’ at one end is pretty useless for us.

Also we live in a SECO area so an electric heater is inexpensive for us. Check if you are in a co-op for electricity to help with your heating options if cost is a factor.

Lastly, we like our powder coated handrail to get out of the pool. Always cool to the touch, unlike aluminum.
