    NOOB - First Post Question

    You folks probably get tired of answering the dumb questions first time users ask. I'll ask anyway and hope for an answer! I have an inground plaster pool, 17,000 gallons. It's not new as I've had it for twenty years but am starting over again. It was a black Gunnite job to begin and was...
