It would seem to me, that this pool has been buried for years, and the bottom rails are more than likely trashed, I may have talked him out of it. I hope. Although, I personally am interested in the indoor equiptment if he wants to toss it. I have a sand filter now, and if the one in there is a DE, I may want to give it a go. I would not be opposed to valving both of them and using the DE just to clear things up occasionally. If that is what it was, I am going back either tuesday or friday. He wants the heater reguardless though, for when he does get a pool. I don't mind, I already have one.

Such a shame though, filling in a perfectly good inground pool. It does need a new liner and some TLC, but what an asset for a house to have...
