Swimming Pool Help?

RWC said:

Is there a newsgroup for swimming pools? I'm not looking
for swimming sport info, but pool construction questions
(like Pebble Tech vs 3M Color Quartz, Kool Deck vs Salt
Finish Concrete, Filter System Choices, etc...).

Can someone point me to the correct newsgroup?

I don't think there is one. You might find some help here,
but you might have better luck in a general building
newsgroup, if there is one.

Well those are most of my questions above, more
specifically:

Pebble Sheen vs. 3M Color Quartz. Price is the same for dark
blue finishes. Which is better on your feet if your in a
pool a long time? Which lasts longer?

Kool Deck vs. Salt Finish Concrete. Price is the same for
dark colors. Is the Kool Deck really cooler (Southern
Arizona)? Which looks better? Which lasts longer?

Filter systems, DE, cartridges, or sand? And why? I hear
DE is unhealthy, filters are expensive, and sand doesn't
work well.
