    Lightbulb My CYA delivery method -don't laugh!


    Yep Thats my pantyhose!
    Yeah I know it's just a little dopey Intex Popup. But using this forum and Ben's site, we learned allot and made our chemical mistakes in this little pool instead of a big one.
    The big one is coming soon.
    This one in the 36'round :

    Or
    Probably this one in the 33'Round: great price. nice people.

    It's a scary thought to be responsible to keep all that water CLEAR as glass, but
    I feel like this site is my crutch, and w/ it we will be ok.
    Thank You

    Seeing how women love to wear pantyhose in the summer , I guess its a good use for em ,,hehe

    And I bet you get just as wet in that intex pool as you will in the big pool, so it aint that "dopey"

    BRILLIANT! Necessity is the mother of invention and you've just invented the PERFECT CYA delivery system. I dub this: "The Hoffman Delivery System" This is the BEST use around a pool yet for the wife's torn pantyhose! You said "don't laugh" but I AM laughing! How can I not?

    Hey! I resent that! Our first pool was a 15'x3' Intex Donut--back when they were surprisingly expensive. For 3 years we loved it (though I had water problem the first year--until I discover this place). There is NOTHING wrong with a starter pool. The water is JUST as wet, it's better for small kids because it's not too deep, and when you are sitting in a floating chair, in the late afternoon, on a hot day, with a cool drink, listening to the ball game, it's JUST as relaxing as the big pool!

    Yeah, the filter is a little weak, the ladder is dinky, and you have to be creative to have an effective vacuum, but I learned an IMMENSE amount taking care of it, bought Ben's PS-232 for it (worth every nickel), and developed the confidence to take on the FantaSea project that's 16'x40' and nearly 20,000 gallons.

    I would go with the Artesian pool, just my experience.

    I learned something today that I will need in the near future! What a cleaver idea. We did the above ground and had it for 5 years before we decided to go inground. Pool is being decked today, so we'll be swimming soon! I wanted to make sure that we'd use a pool before we invested in it. Now that the kiddos are getting bigger, they are wanting to be diving and doing things we couldn't do in the smaller pool.
