    Seriously considering the conversion... BUT

    Thanks! The designs on the liner wall can be clearly seen! We had no clue how awful Baq was. Converting was the best thing we ever did. They shouldn't even sell such a horrid chem.

    How to cool down a pool?

    We have a solar panel deck and can typical lower the pool 2 degrees an hour at night.
