I just wanted to drop in and introduce myself. My name is Adam and I just this month bought a house with a pool. I was really worried about the cost of the upkeep but after going through this forum for a week now I am beyond relieved. I am so glad that all the folks here have put in so much time and energy for a great resource that everyone can use. So far the pool is clear and the numbers are good except for the CYA. It is at zero but getting some conditioner today to try and get that rectified. Thanks so much guys!
