New to pools - old pool needs new life.

HI FOLKS,

My name is Tim, and I live out in the high desert of California. I have a daunting pool restoration project looming in my yard. The pool came with the house and was nearly non functioning due to air leaks and missing parts. Four years have passed with little energy devoted to this project. With the heat of the summer all ready scorching and time finally on my side, I have decided to make an effort to fill this hole in the ground with refreshing water. My purpose here on this forum is to learn and share as this project moves forward. Some of my challenges include: Equipment Identification, Sourcing Parts, Salt Water Conversion, and Automation.

glad to be here,

Tim
