Hello,

Just joined today as I will be in need of advice.

I bought my house in 2007, and it came with a pool:

looks like a 13000 or 16000 gallons pool. Any idea on the capacity? Is that a standard pool?
The house was built in 1972. No idea on when the pool was added (there was no pool originally when the house was built).
It has:
- Pentair WhisperFlo E-Plus pump for circulating water.
- Pentair Clean and Clear Plus four cartridges filter
- a Polaris 280 automatic pool cleaner
- A Zodiac PB4-60Q Polaris Halcyon Booster Pump with Quiet 60-Hertz Motor (replaced in June 2014)

I've emptied my pool because it needs to be repainted.
I plan to give it a shot and see if I can do this all by myself over a few week-ends.

Have a good day,

We look forward to help you enjoy this swimming season. :swim:
 
That is such a pretty pool and area! What a nice place to be and enjoy!

Why are you painting it? I bet a good bleach clean up it will look much better. Painting does not tend to last long before it started flaking :(

I would love to see the tile over by the rocks. They look so different.

Do you have a test kit yet? If not look in my siggy for the one we use and love. That will help you keep your pool clear and pretty.
