True enough for buying, installing etc. However, if you follow the advise from the experts here, maintenance of your pool can really be close to pennies per day....OOPS, I forgot, Canada got rid of their pennies....

Enjoy your pool!

Do read the stickies here before filling your pool.

Consider also finding a source for a FAS-DPD test kit for testing your water. Yes it will probably seem like a costly item, however you will save that much and more by avoiding costly problems with the chemistry of your pool. There are several threads here about test kits, look them up and read through them.

Concerning the test kits: I am curious if the components of these good kits are also included in the problems with importing the kits. Could a person not order the full kit, just the individual parts of it and get by with this? or would that also cause problems?
