    This is looking long-ways the 32 ft dimension, both taken with my cell phone. I still have a little ways to go, but hey, it's free and it's working.

    Lookin good! Love the idea. May have to try that one myself someday. I am in the same boat with my pump. I live in a place with very cheap electricity (lots of hydroelectric dams around), so I don't feel much of a pinch with my pump.

    Missed this thread. How is the pool looking now? Still good? A bag of cal-hypo in the skimmer can help too if there is still some iron.

    The pool is now crystal clear. Every 48 hours that towel comes out of the skimmer box Pretty Brown. I don't exactly understand why the towel works so well, but it definitely does make a difference. And it's free. I will post a few photos later in the day.

    Not bad for an old free towel.
