    Just filled pool, green tinted water

    So, I'm guessing metals from the tap? Iron, copper? The water is crystal clear, it's just greenish. If it helps, we also just repainted the pool (epoxy). We don't have the pump or any chemicals in just yet, literally just filled it. Will the color clear up with filtration or do we need to...

    Nebraska vendors

    I'm starting some initial research on putting an inground pool in and I'd love to bring in some vendors. However, this being Lincoln, NE, there aren't a lot of folks to chose from. I'd really feel a lot better to hear from someone with direct experience in my area? Anyone have any advice on...
