They knew the size of the pool so it was easy.

Thats about the right price. the biggest deal with the liner is getting it to set flat and weighted down to eliminate wrinkles. My pool is just over 20,000 gallons so I got 2 truck loads and paid $400 and change last year. The kick in the butt is the company that delivers the waters name is Pitcher. I filled it enough to set the liner then let the house do the rest.

It is the installation that I'm worried about, I watched my last one get installed and it did not look easy.

I know the size, it's just an odd shape, so the prefab liners won't work.

I'm not quite sure how many gallons it takes to fill my pool, it is 18X38 with a shallow end and a deep end.

I would love to just leave it closed this summer, and deal with it all next year, but I've been out-voted.

Mine is 16 X 36. Built same. Price you pay for a pool. Added the pool cleaner last year and watched my electric bill go up up up!!!!!!

Will never, ever, ever, ever, as long as I live, ever use them again. What a nightmare! Wanted to charge me for a Saturday rate after they offered to come out on Saturday because they couldn't do it any other day! Uh - if you offer (with no mention of an increased charge, mind you) then I'm paying you the regular rate. I didn't ask you to come out on Saturday - you offered!

Anyway, I am getting a full tanker from SJ Johnson for $185. They finished filling up my pool (inground - took 5 tankers and a piece) when we resurfaced the whole thing 2 years ago. Good people! Will come out within a day or so.

Hope it's not too late...
