Well, after reading this website for the past couple of days I think we've been pool-stored ...
We purchased an AG 24' x 52" round to be installed within the next couple of weeks from the large pool store in the "big city" 1.5 hours away. We also bought a power ionizer for an extra $250 but am now a little concerned we wasted some money. I'm very interested now in going the BBB route to safely maintain our water quality. So do we have a worthless $250 piece of equipment that's not going to really do anything other than possibly turn our 3-year-old son's light blonde hair green? If we're going to return the ionizer, I want to go ahead & do it before the box is even opened.
Oh, and yeah, we bought $80 worth of individually bagged shock that I know we won't be able to return. Guess we'll have to eat that one & chalk it up to ignorance ...
I'll order one of the recommended test kits tonight & will go ahead & test our water prior to filling the pool so we'll know where we're starting. I've already read "Pool School" once & will print the entire thing for my pool notebook that I'm sure I'm going to need.
Look forward to this forum & thanks in advance.
