What
are readers saying about "How to Buy a Swimming
Pool the Right Way"?
"Dear
Marcus: Just wanted to let you know how helpful and
informative your eBook was to me. Before reading your
book I knew very little about pools, much less about
proper installation methods and ancillary items like
heaters. I now feel I am a much more informed consumer
and my choices will be based on your recommendations
-- which will maximize my chances of having a hassle-free
pool experience. And I can see why you prefer Leisure
pools -- their superiority to the competition is clear.
Finally, I couldn't believe that you responded to
my follow-up e-mail questions and even had the opportunity
speak to you at length with follow-up questions. It's
like I had my own personal pool consultant for $9.95!
This is the best money I have EVER spent. Thanks again,
and I hope the best for you and your business. P.S.
I decided to go with the 31 foot Moroccan from Leisure
Pools in Australian Blue. I feel very satisfied with
my choice, thanks in large part to you." Charles

"Your
book is awesome and very informative. Thanks for honesty."

"Hello
Marcus, Thanks for the e-mail. Since buying the two
e-books we have been busy planning our pool install.....
The books have been very helpful especially in planning
the layout. The question I do have for you if you
don't mind is in regard to the backfill material.
I am all set to order the 1/2" crushed and washed
limestone since my local Leisure dealer also recommended
it however I still have many other people telling
me sand is the was to go. One of thee people is a
good friend of mine who installed pools for a living
a while back. He loves to explain to me how many different
buildings and constrruction projects are built on
sand and also claims he had to fix pools installed
with pea gravel. Me personally it seems to make more
sense to use crushed gravel as it will lock in place
and not move like sand or pea gravel. So my question/request
is if you can me you best explanation or experiences
as to why crushed gravel is better. I would like to
explain it better to those helping with the pool install.
Thanks very much." James Rauch.
"I
truly enjoyed the eBook. It has already provided us
with a lot of very good pointers and reminded us of
things we said we would/wouldn't do if we had to do
it over again" Mark White, Florida
"Marcus,
Thank you so much for the e-book! I am positive we
are making the right decision with a fiberglass pool,
I just hope we can get the project underway before
it snows!!!Your advice has been invaluable."
Thanks again, Deann Frantz
"Hi
Marcus….Great advice in your ebook. I will most likely
contact you to see if we would be a good team (you
as a consultant, me as an owner builder) on my pool
project. I plan on starting this project sometime
next year…. Anyway, great book, lots of good things
to know and think about." Thanks Tom (California)
"Dear
Marcus… Hello, how are you? I have purchased your
book, and really have been enjoying reading it. Your
book is very interesting and very informative."
Thank you so much, Brenda, Florida
“My
name is Jon Rutledge, my wife Sabrina and I enjoyed
your e-book and are very grateful for the information
you have provided….. The e-book was informative and
from your experience helped us choose a fiberglass
pool company over another….. Once again we really
appreciate all the insight that you have given in
your e-book. The email you sent after the purchase
of the book really did help us with our decision…….
After looking at your web site and reading your e-book,
I only wish you were here in Texas to do my install!!!.......
Once again Thank You so much for your quick replies
and the excellent information. Your business web site
was a huge help as well, my wife and I enjoyed watching
the video of your employees installing the pool!!!!”
- Jon and Sabrina Rutledge, Texas
"It
is very nice of you to take the time to respond. I
very much appreciate it. This is just further proof
to me that I would hire Your company if I did not
live a much sunnier state. I admit that I saw your
ebook and was skeptical. Like so much of life, I decided
to gamble. I am very glad I did. I have been researching
pools for a bit now. While nothing came as a shock,
I welcomed the reminders and notes to pay attention
to the big picture. Without a doubt the $9.95 I spent
will help me be a better shopper. However, You have
raised the bar. I now want a pool company that can
instill in me the same confidence I get from your
book and you website. I fear that could be a challenge.
As you mentioned, I too believe this could be a really
good time to take the leap. I believe your consultations
are a very good thing and something I am seriously
considering. I hear and read so many horror stories
and know they might have been avoided. You seem to
have a common sense approach. I just have to get to
that detail stage with a pool company." -Julius, Tampa
Florida
"Marcus,
I
love your book, web site and videos. You have been
extremely helpful. I would not have a clue without
your help. Are you sure you don't want to come to
North Texas to install?! I already totally trust you
and your company. Not sure I am going to find a company
to match up to you.....We had a gunite pool at our
former house. We didn't build it, it came with the
house. We lived there 7 years and the pool was very
expensive to maintain. We have lived in our new house
1 year and I cannot take another Texas summer without
a pool. Husband was against a pool at our new house
because of the cost, the gunite drained us. With your
help I was able to convince him of fiberglass!....Thanks
again for all your knowledge. I'm so thankful I found
your youtube video advertising your book during my
research. It will help us with all the decisions we
will be faced with. I'll keep you updated on our progress
and I'm sure I will have questions or comments during
the process. Have a great day"- Lynette, Texas
"Marcus - Hello! I bought and read your ebook
earlier this month as we are looking hard for the
right fiberglass pool and builder for a project at
our home this fall. ......... We were wondering if
you had any thoughts on that company. I have two builders
in my area that use that pool so we will be looking
closely at them and their quotes but I want to feel
comfortable about their product as well. Most importantly
their finish is important to us as I have heard time
and again that the finish can make or brake a fiberglass
pool! Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
Your honesty is important in the pool industry. Also
your book helped us make some true decisions on things
such as pool brands, heating our pool, the type of
cover we'd like, etc. "- Alysen McCaughey, South
Carolina
"Thanks
so much for the advise.... I'll give _____a call.
Your ebook has given us invaluable information. Thanks
so much for your commitment to excellence! It's a
VERY rare quality these days!"- Carl & Kathy
Donaldson, Texas
"Marcus,
Thanks for the follow up. We are just begininng our
pool journey and fortunately, we are not in a rush
and can take our time making sure we get the best
pool for the best price. (Or you could say the right
pool from the right company for the right price!)
One quick question, I noticed _______ Pools wasn't
covered in the book. Do you have any experience with
their product? Thanks again for helping out folks
like me in this process." - Ben Bargoil
"Hi
Marc, I just finished reading your ebook which has
been very informative and helpful. We live in Bergen
County New Jersey and are interested in a Leisure
Pool, the Grand Elegance 40. I would like to know
if you have any contacts/contractors in our area that
you could recommend to help in this process. Any advice
would be very much appreciated. Thank you."-

"WOW
!!!! I Just finsh reading your EBOOK . I will let
this sink in a little bit. I will be in touch with
you at a later date . THANK YOU so much for this information
about fiberglass pools. It will help me so much to
make a good decision . WOW !!!!"- Vincent, Fredericksburg
"Marcus,
I read your e-book. It was very helpful. Thank you.
One thing I'm not yet sure I agree with you on (but
you've given me some things to think about) is the
diving board idea. The last pool we owned had a diving
board and we really enjoyed it. It was a spring type
fiberglass board (can you still get these type?).
It was also a free form concrete pool (30K gal) with
a rather large shallow section, so we had the best
of both worlds. I'm not sure I would be willing to
build one that big. I'm also unsure about having a
salt chlorine generator?? Is the water salty, can
you taste or smell a difference (not that I plan on
drinking form the pool)? Best Regards, Walt"
