Without a doubt - the coolest pool and pool area I've ever seen. At night - it's even cooler!

What corrosion? We have had a salt system for 5 years and I don't see any corrosion issues. I get a little salt build up under the water fall. But its super minor. Just curious. We love the salt and I dont feel like the pool dries out my skin like a normal pool.

5 years huh..... perfect -- that's almost exactly the length of time the pool guys said I'd be replacing my heater and pumps if I went with a salt system.

Because you guys brought this thread up from the dead, I'll update you guys.

My wife, kids and I came to the conclusion that having a pool although a great investment it would be to much upkeep, expensive and a lot of work to maintain. So we did what a rational family would do. We bought a beach house in Galveston Sea Isle community with a beautiful view. We paid 178K but the pool is now our beach.

Here are some pictures. We christened her "Dat View Tho"

Looks good Lance. The Spa must really be driving up the cost as we're doing a similar pool with no spa (I like the separate ones) and first quote is sub $40k from Presidential.
