Hello all,
I just recently bought a CircuPool RJ-60 Plus (not installed yet) for my 32k gallon in-ground pool, supposed to be "top of the line", but I've really honed in how to manage my pool with what I've learned here on these forums, using bleach rather than the pucks, removing my Nature2 mineral system, using my Taylor test kit along with poolcalculator.com on how/what to fix, it has been looking picture perfect and I don't mind going around the block to home depot to pick up more liquid chlorine for less than $3 a gallon.
I'm very nervous I'm going to have to completely start fresh with what I need to learn in how to manage a salt pool. Add in the fact that ill now have to replace my diving board, which apparently will rust and crack because of the salt, with a very expensive salt resistant board, the ladder that I'll eventually have to replace (rust), the cement surrounding the pool (will that be negatively affected?), the gas heater that we will be installing in the next month, etc. (Maybe I read too many anti-SWG forums)
So, is it REALLY worth it?? Not looking for anybody to make my decision for me, if it's worth all that than I will convert the pool, just wanted to hear everyone's thoughts if they've gone through the same situation.
