Acid washing should not required if you follow proper pool maintenance, nor should re-plastering. Since we don't have to worry about winterizing down here (and doing it correctly) that eliminates most of the problems requiring a drain and clean. And yes, pool pumps can be expensive, but they can last 10-12 years easily. Especially the newer, variable speed ones. The bottom line is that it comes down to personal preference. The weekly cleaning and cost of electricity is well worth the joy the pool has and continues to bring me.

You can get up, walk out and go in in your nightie if you want to.
AND... Most pools are designed not to see swimmers in the pool from the street so the poster who can't see swimmers as he drives down the street doesn't know how Vera designs pools. The rise on ours is toward the street although our screens are floor to ceiling.

We were absolutely against the idea of having a pool, since we have many pools within walking, golf cart distance from the house. That idea went out the window after we experienced our first summer. T&D custom built our pool adding a "beach area" for water recliners and pool exercise, the pool is 38' long enough for short laps! The best feature was adding umbrella holes in the cement at both ends of the pool for shade. We have witnessed the winds blow umbrellas into neighbors pools and through birdcage. Solar panels extend the use of the pool through fall and earlier in spring. During hottest part of summer, we turn them off. We love the privacy, peace, and ability to let grandkids play with their toys which are not allowed in the family pools. We do not regret our decision!

Just had the grandchildren here and so glad we have the pool. Jumping in all during the day when we weren't doing other activities and when the dark clouds and rain comes, we just run inside!

Nice pool. Is that a Fiberglas unit. What was the rough cost if you don't mind.

A home without a pool in this heat is a home not yet completed.

We love it. It is almost as nice to sit next to it as to be in it. I love T&D, from Vera who was our sales/designer to the people who come and service it weekly...great company. Our first pool. It is heavenly.
