[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3778453, member: 5412"] We put in an inground vinyl lined pool 25 years ago for about $14K. 16' X 30' sport pool that is 3' at one end and 5.5' at the deep end. After hearing of pool owners' complaints and some redneck reasoning, we put one in. Specs said one skimmer, so we added two. Pump for that pool was a 3/4 hp with a flow I don't remember now, but we doubled it and made sure the pump was 220 Volt. Added a diatomaceous earth filter twice the size recommended that could filter out red blood cells at 5 micron and added a polaris system with a little robot that ran around the pool and cleaned it for us. We were very happy with the pool for 22 years but have not opened it for the last three years as we are typically gone in the RV. The cover is still on it. Trying to convince the wife to put some catfish in there with a feeder so when we get home dinner is available. Don't know why I'm meeting with some opposition? Our sons in HS and later loved it, especially after midnight when the "real" party happened and we were in bed asleep. [/QUOTE]
