Hi cramar, and welcome to the forum!!

Hopefully you'll get some AGP owners to respond to your questions, but I just wanted to make a couple of comments that were pointed out to me when we were first deciding on our pool.

First, it's hard for most people to look at an 18' line drawn on the grass and accurately picture what 18' pool will actually look like. You might want to consider going to some local dealers that have pools set up for display and see if you can get a better idea from that whether it's big enough for your needs or not.

Secondly, I've never heard anybody say that they wish they had a smaller pool. However, I've heard lots of people say that if they had to do it over again, they would go larger. So--if in doubt, and if money isn't an issue, I would always advise to go bigger instead of smaller.

Just my $0.02, which is exactly what it's worth......
