    swimming pool covers???

    We are looking to get a tarp style cover with water bags to hold it down. This is our first season with a pool. So, my question is what do we do otherwise once we cover it? Still run the filter and salt system? Is there any extra care that should be given or done before and while it is covered?

    What do I do next?

    The pool is full of water!!! We are having concrete poured later this week weather permitting and fencing put up. Once the PB does final clean up, what do I need to do?

    Ecomatic advice/experience?

    Thanks for the welcome! We are really looking forward to getting our pool! They start digging tomorrow. I haven't heard of the compupool but am just beginning my research into SWG. A friend has the EcoMatic and the local pool dealer sells IntelliChlor so those are the only ones I know much...

    Ecomatic advice/experience?

    Getting ready to put in our pool! We are interested in going the salt water route. Wanted to see if anyone has or is familiar with the ecomatic salt water chlorine generator. Trying to decide which one to purchase. Thanks!!!
