MPetrillo:

This makes it all worth-while. Thank you. Whether someone posts and says "help" or someone learns from them while lurking, it's what we are in this for: so we can all enjoy clean, sweet safe pools at minimal effort and cost.

And don't forget the contributions of our 4th moderator, Poconos. Al's been our expert on pool mechanics (pumps, filters, plumbing, etc) and the pioneer in home-made solar systems and using DE in sand filters to super-charge them!

Plus he's a WHIZ at ice-fishing in his pool during the winter! (but I don't think he stocks it!) He gets all the fun of ice fishing, the convenience of not having to go out to a lake, and he doesn't have to clean fish!
