the cover is a great solution, thanks for bringing that up.

Quick update: Invited local pool guys out to look at the system during the home inspection. The current home owner probably felt like I was parading an army through the house with all the people I brought over. The general consensus is that the pool is in beautiful shape. Everyone going on...
