Hope you'll stick around either way. Besides being able to look at pictures, this forum is an awesome place to learn about how to take care of a pool without spending your life savings! Do you have a pool yet? Do you have a good test kit? If not, that is the most important thing you need to manage your pool. We think everyone should have a Taylor K-2006 or 2006C (better buy) kit. You can find it on the test kit link in my signature.

Also, take a look at our sister website poolsolutions.com. Lots of good info there, too!
