Pool manufacturers suggestions

[Chudwick]

Hello everybody. I’ve cruised the web for the best in ground pool kit manufacturer and I’m pretty sure all of the information I’m seeing is written by the manufacturers themselves. I’m installing a pool in the spring and want to buy it now so hopefully I can have it in time. I’m in central NJ and my soil has a lot of clay. My yard slopes away so where the pool is going is a good 4’ lower than the base of my steps so the plan is to install the pool, build a retaining wall around the whole perimeter and then backfill to grade. I’m planning on leaving a good 8’ or so around the backside of the pool and the front will have a 50x30 patio. It’s a massive project but I do have a good amount of equipment on hand. What are your opinions on good quality kit manufacturers ?

ICF concrete formwork, insulate the botton as well.
