Get a lot of pics and post them, especially of your hydrotherapy technicians.

We're going to have our VIP Night on Halloween this year and it will be broadcast live on our webcam.

Congratulations on your award, good luck and drink some beer for me Merlin!

You gotta be kidding?! :o

It's written into my contract that I must maintain a .09 blood alcohol content during all business hours or I am subject to termination.  And that would suck if Terminator got terminated!

Good lord!  Move already.

Term,
When I read your posts with their Southwestern English dialect it reminds me of the old story I read today about the legendary baseball player/announcer Dizzy Dean:

An English interviewer, frustrated by Dizzy Dean's idiosyncratic relationship with language exclaimed, "Mr. Dean, don't you know the King's English?"

Dizzy reflected a moment. Then, "Sure I do, and so's the Queen."

Merlin, I own a Splash Superpool.  I've got it set up as a permanent install set into my deck off the back of my house.  Its a great little pool and extremely easy to care for.  Have you had good luck selling them?

We have sold a ton of Splash pools.

We have been a dealer for almost 13 years now. They really are great pools.

Took the words right out of my mouth ;D.

Great pools.  I don't think there is anything I could do to damage it.  And very easy to maintain.

True story -

A few years back we were setting up a 17' x 29.5' Splash Pool and the customer hired a water truck to fill it. Well once it was full the truck had sort of sunk a little into the ground. As it was trying to get out he floored it and i guess his wheel was turned because he swung around and ran straight into the pool and it was fine. the customers and us had a great story to tell from then on and they knew they had bought a great pool!

I figured out how to damage it. After using it 6 months I decided I needed to turn it 180º so the pump/filter would be more accessible. I drained it, turned it and re-set the supports. Unfortunately somehow I didn't fully engage at least one of the supports. I started the 24 hr fill and in the middle of the night heard water spilling. I looked out the window and saw it partially collapsed. A few of the supports were bent big time and a few went through the pool liner but at the very top. The holes were where it engages into the horizontal supports. I took it apart, assessed the damage, got replacement supports and decided the holes would not propagate due to the nature of the material and the location of the holes. Four years later you can not tell anything happened other than a couple odd holes that do nothing more than remind me that patience isn't always my strong suit.

Good tough pool.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D    Good stories!  There's no doubt about it, the supports are important.

I just opened my pool yesterday for the season.  Every year I pull the cover and I have perfectly clear water.  A stray leaf or two and this year a huge dead spider.  It is a PIA getting that skimmer out in October, though. ;)
