I am often asked what are the most annoying problems you can have with pools. My answer is always BAD DRAINAGE!! When we install a pool, we spend a good amount of time assessing the grade of the ground and confirming the level of the pool and patio. There is a reason for this: water only runs downhill and we want it to get to a spot where it will do no harm and will not annoy. If water runs into your basement or into the pool cavity, a LOT of damage can occur. We need to control how that water flows in a 3 hour, 3" rain (and that can be thousands of gallons!!!).

So which pump is best for you?

We had pointed out for years the deficits of these pools but I think we have come to understand that the problems with these pools do have signifigant solutions!

How do I decide on a pool
There is an 800 pound gorilla in the pool business called Pool Corp (symbol POOL) who is in the business of supplying inground pool builders with the vast majority of the things they buy. They are the world’s largest such supplier. So when Pool Corp speaks, all of Indiana’s inground pool builders listen. Indiana Inground Pool Market. I am hearing some good things about the strength of the in ground pool market both nationally and in Central Indiana. I am also finding people are in the buying mode.
