    "Magic" Pool Opening

    So, we're in the process of selling our house (don't worry we're upgrading). It's not warm her in MA yet, but for showing the house I figured I'd open it up and get it looking nice. Well, I spoke to my agent on Thursday and she suggested leaving it closed since I'd never be able to get it...

    RSFan, OK I'm In!

    Hello Everyone, Just sent away for the test kit and I'm exited to start using the BBB method. I've been reading the site feverishly for the past week and can't find any logical reason to continue supporting the exhorbitant prices at my local pool store. I've never walked out of my pool store...
