Can't find bark fines in San Diego!?!
Comments (2)Thanks! I went back to Armstrong this afternoon, and they have micro bark. It's fir and it is $9.99 for 2 cubic ft. I'll check with HD up there. If it's not treated and cheaper than this stuff, then it will be worth the trip. :o)...See MorePlumbing for remodel
Comments (9)You can plumb the pool & spa to have either separate systems or a shared system. Mine shares the heater and filter but uses a separate pump for the jets. While the spa heats up, I cannot filter the pool but it takes less than an hour to heat up the spa and we usually don't use the spa for very long periods of time. The jets are independent so I can run those any time and it isn't necessary to have a separate filter for that. I have seen completely separate systems where the spa has it's own heater, filter and pumps. It really comes down to cost and what you want to do with it. A shared system is less expensive but you cannot filter the pool while heating/filtering the spa. Most of the time it is not necessary to do both at the same time but if you have the money, why not. A small filter doesn't cost too much but you may want to share the heater and chlorinator (e.g. swg)....See MoreNew San Diego Pool
Comments (12)I would recommend avoiding Mission Pools at all costs. Our neighbors here in Carmel Valley (3-4 houses) all went with them and all of them have nightmare stories about delayed projects and people not showing up for weeks or a month in one case. I got a bid from them and when I heard the news, I never replied. I would however highly recommend our builder, Mission VALLEY pools. Very reputable and have been in the business for 4 decades. Also, California Pools gave us a bid and they seemed professional but were pricy. I also thought Pacific Sun was excellent and my friend, who is a contractor/spec home builder, uses them in all of his homes. The only reason we went with MV pools in the end is because they were a bit cheaper for what they offered. Click on the link below for our pool build from start to finish!

Comments (28)Mission Pools - Stay away Our familyÂs personal experience - I called into Mission Pools back in April this year to request a repair as part of my tile on the right face of my Mission Pools spa was falling off. I explained this exact sort of thing had happened some time ago (2005) on the left half of the Spa and was repaired after my initial call as a warranty issue in 2005. Now they refuse to repair the exact same of problem under warranty on the right half of the spa and have e-mailed me an excessively high quote for repair of $5,000! This has now become a health and Safety issue as tile is unstable and a hazard to children and adults alike and a liability to our family and Mission Pools as Mr. Dunn (Owner) and their service department are aware of the situation. I have been down this road once before at the time of the construction with Mission Pools. The Spa needed to be completely rebuilt (jack hammered out and completely reformed) due to a poor workmanship, structural issues and irregular forming. I had to go to war with them then and apparently I do now. Bruce Dunn wonÂt give you the time of day until you file a complaint with the California contract licensing board  Stay away!!...See Morearielitas_mom
