Installing First Pool Ever in my backyard

5 years ago

Hi All - I'm about to take the leap and hire someone to install an inground 15x30 vinyl pool for me in my backyard. I just received their quote, but have no idea if they are giving me good quality materials or cheap stuff. Was hoping I can get some help on this. I've asked for the brands (yet to receive) but below are the specs contained in the quote. As an example, I have no idea if a 1 HP pump is standard or 1 skimmer in a 15x30 is the norm. In any case, would appreciate your thoughts on this. Thx
