We are in the start-up process and have not added salt to the system yet. While reading all the different manuals, I noticed that Pentair says "ALWAYS install the IC60 AFTER the filter and heater" I can certainly understand that the salt cell should be protected from dirt etc so after the filter...

We have decided to add a small outdoor kitchen to our pool build. It will be fairly simple - about 6.5 ft straight along a brick wall. In order to get a little bit of counter space, we intend to get a grill no more than about 30" wide. It will be run on natural gas. We have looked at Weber...

We will be filling our pool in a few weeks for the first time and I have been trying to figure out when it is recommended to jump in. From Pool School it says (rather clearly :) ) not to swim during the break-in period but on the other hand I have read about people jumping into their new...
