I probably should have became an engineer like all my cousins, because I absolutely love troubleshooting, diagnosing, and repairing/improving any thing that I can. There is just something about understanding how things work, and making those things work even better that really makes me happy. My parents have both recently retired and I have finally convinced them to ditch there pool service and allow me to take over. (fingers crossed they'll fire the lawn crew next, as I would love to care for the home in any way I can and save them some $ while doing so) Like most homes in "Far North Dallas" The house was built in the mid 70s, and the pool has been there since day 1. They have lived there for nearly 20 years now and in that time the pool has gone through a lot. The previous owner left it as a pond for 4 years, so when we moved in it was drained, resurfaced, and got new plumbing, pumps, and a heater. About 3 years ago we replaced the Heater and the filter. The masonry (red brick coping) and Tile are worse for the ware and need replacing or relaying as soon as possible. Pretty sure far skimmer has a leak some where as the cement around it is cracked, and the skimmer walls are deformed; so much so that getting the basket out requires a bit of know how.
I am 32, folks are 61 and 62. The Pool is 46, and all though she is literally "rough around the edges" she has had some work done so she looks a lot younger than she is lol. The problems are plenty, but I will knock them all out one by one. My main focus is keeping the System healthy and the water beautiful and perfectly swim ready at all times.

. I'll probably grab a chlorinator some time this summer. I'll most likely be posting pics on project to project basis. I appreciate the warm welcome and the advice on the kits. Thankya kindly
