Thank you for your comments.

Yes, my user description has apparently changed, and I can now post directly, which is nice.

I agree that a subscription would be worthwhile -- there certainly is a great deal of valuable information here. However, I wouldn't be saving anything on pool store purchases; haven't set foot in one yet As owners of a 1000 gallon donut pool, we're pretty much on the penny-pinching end of the spectrum, and our pool expenditures are only gradually growing as we learn more about necessary pool maintenance.
