I absolutely love this pool. My husband did all the research and determined fiberglass was the way to go and Viking was the best pool available. I can't even tell you how great the in-floor cleaning system is. All my neighbors spend hours vacuuming their pool - not me. I grew up with a pool and knew about the maintenance, but I do nothing to this pool - Absolutely nothing. Jim dug our pool and he was great. We love him! It is absolutely okay to use us as a reference. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A MAINTENANCE FREE POOL AND WE LOVE IT! Holly M.
