Hi, I'm Ed Bogel, the head of this Website and a builder of thousands of in-ground pools and hot tub/spas. As a Florida General Contractor, Commercial and Residential Swimming Pool Contractor, I have built pools ranging from budget "give-aways" that homebuilders include in the house price to award-winning water monuments costing several hundred thousand $$.

We all know that you can find almost any information on the Internet. Some advice is good but much of it only serves the interest of the person publishing the advice.

Some websites say that you can build your own pool. They try to sell you a video and pool kit components. The assumption is that you can manage construction planning, permitting, and inspecting in addition to supervising different construction trades who demolish, excavate, construct, clean up and restore your property and many times parts of your neighbors' property too!

At PoolSpaCatalog, we will give you honest answers to your questions and not mislead you to sell a product. Click here to see why we think building your own pool is such a bad idea!

Yours truly,

Ed Bogel
