We bought and had our pool installed in 2006. We have enjoyed 7 seasons in our pool and after this Winter I am so looking forward to season 8. We live in a wooded area next to a cornfield so our pool is far from maintenance free but nothing this former certified pool operator can not handle. With it’s rectangle shape swimming laps is possible in our Kayak. We also do a variety of water aerobics while catching some rays. But nothing beats the relaxation of laying in the pool napping on a raft on a summer day. We have not had any problems with our equipment so far except for error on my part. Two summers ago a landscape block fell in when removing our winter cover and put a hole in the liner. Thankfully I was planning to replace it soon due to fading. We made it through that summer with a patch I had no problems ordering a new one and getting installed for last season. Only major complaint I have have(it really is not major at all) is that the flanges that hold the latter in place seem to need to be replaced yearly. Not an expensive replacement but a dirty one with all the cob webs under the deck and an aging husband does not make this a delightful task every season. I love our pool.
