Hi Anna,

I will continue the chlorine for this summer. My son's graduation party is in a week, so hopefully it will get some use then. I am working on my husband, who will probably be less than thrilled with my idea. But it just seems logical if I can get the right type of filtration going. We spent a lot of money for this pool and deck, and I don't see why we would just tear it down because we don't use it anymore. In a world where everybody is "repurposing", I can't think of a better time to go for it. I'm continuing my research. I don't want to do something that will end up even MORE work for myself. But if there's a do-able way, I will find it! I have always loved fish, and our home is too small for a nice sized aquarium. Imagine a 13,000 gallon one!

Thanks everybody for the comments.

Sandy
