Hi all,
I haven’t posted in a while because we ran into some permit issues, and builder reputation issues, but now we are about to sign a contract for a pool! We are going with a different builder so their filter/pump/SWG packages are different. They offer all Pentair products but I am not familiar with them at all.
We are planning a 600sq ft free form, gunite with Pebble sheen. 3.5 ft to 6ft. No water features. I am going to post the shape/first design of our pool and screen shots of the two options we have to choose from. My questions are…
1. Someone mentioned to me that the Pentair 1hp Whisperflo that the builder offers, is outdated and a poor choice. Is this true?
2. The cost of the Cartridge filter option is $2,137 and the upgraded DE is $3,531. Which is a better option?
3. Does Pentair make quality products?
I’ve done my research and this builder has a good reputation and we have seen their previous work in person. I just do not know anything about the equipment aspect. Any and all advice is welcome and so appreciated!
