Hello! I'm a new in-ground pool owner and so thrilled to be here!

[coolinthepool]

Hello, everyone! I'm excited to be joining the Trouble Free Pool forum officially now that we've finally closed on our house with a pool.

Our pool is old, though I don't know just how old, the house is from the '50s. I doubt the pool is that old, though.

Length: 40 ft
Width: 20 ft
Shallow depth: 3 ft
Deep depth: 8 ft
Gallons: Approximately 30,000
Additional details:

• Pool has a liner
• Has a diving board
• Raypak 300k BTU heater (I'm installing within the week)
• Chlorinated

Location: Fishers, IN

Welcome! Congrats on the new purchase. Let us know if you have any questions. As always, make sure you have the right test kit. We recommend the TF-100, but a back-up could be the Taylor K-2006C. See Test Kits Compared

Great to have you with us.

I pulled back the top a few days ago and it was crystal clear! There's a few leaves in the bottom, but otherwise it looks good enough to jump in right now! Only thing holding me back is that I don't have a heater installed yet and it's freezing

Well, if you insist!! Here’s one from my first uncovering. I’ll post some more when I open it again to show the bottom and a wide angle shot.
