    My vote is for the round pool. We have a 30' round and the kids can be on one side playing without splashing on me--very important. Denise

    Actually, my vote is for a rectangular pool--the better ones like Splash, Kayak and FantaSea. I couldn't stand to have a pool less than 40' long, and only rectangles and a few ovals get that long.

    I also think big rounds take up more space and use a lot more water for what they give you. Of course for small pools, 18' and under, I think rounds are the ONLY way to go. The extra area and water that I believe are DISadvantages for big pool are ADVANTAGES for small one.

    But this is all opinion.

    The FACT (and not opinion) is that the shape that works best for YOU is the best shape. If round floats your boat, get a round. If it's oval, do oval. Me? It's that 40' long rectangle.

    I notice your pool size and my is the same size as yours.Can you tell me what size sand filter you have?how much sand does it hold,and the pump size?I"m having trouble keeping mine clean,I'm thinking my sand filter is to small.
    Also did you bid this pool new,just wondering if the sand filter and pump came as a package deal.I 'm just not sure what size to get for my 18x33 ester williams.I now have a jacuzzi sand filter and pump.thanks for all the help.what now my pool has something on the botton of the pool and when I vacuum its back the next day.
