    Green Pool

    Hi everyone, Sorry if this is a double post. This is my first year being in charge of the pool, and my ex husband recommended I come here. (Although everyone else is telling me to go to the pool store.) I don't own a pool brush. I need to SLAM the pools ASAP, and I can order the Whale Tail...
