Is $2,517 to install a solar cover and reel for an inground pool a fair price?
Project Details
I have a 30 ft round (in ground pool). I was told that since the pool is 30ft round, I will need to go with a commercial size reel. Does this seem excessive? I do get lots of frogs and insects as the pool is close to a retaining pond. I'm not going to get the solar cover. Also, I don’t think an automatic cover is possible without having the tracks across the pavers or extensive renovation.
