    Electrical Earth

    Installers interest has dropped to zero, he has been paid. The pool is installed and the concrete is poured and everything is paved. Does this wire connect to the re bar in the concrete or just a copper rod into the concrete? Is it somethin the pool builder does or the electrician? Thanks

    Mineral Pool Salts

    Thanks, it all sounded great when I was talking to the pool sale guys, but he did not really push it very hard, but when you look at the product info its all marketing there is no spec...always makes me suspect. I have asked them to switch the glass media and mineral extras into a cartridge filter.

When we were buying it we like the sound of the Mineral Pool Salts, supposedly making it feel a bit nicer on your skin due to the increased level or magnesium and potassium. Works with existing salt chlorinator...so...
