    7/12 pavers cracked, what should I be using under the legs?

    hmm, I just bought what look to be 1" to 1.5" pavers...I looked for 2"-4" pavers from Lowes, but did not see any. Is there another place that will carry those super thick pavers?

    Just curious, why saltwater vs chlorine?

I do not have to add jack diddly squat to the pool, except my initial bags of salt and maybe very little...

    I've got a side question too, if someone could help me out. How long should I be running this pump for, daily? It is rated at Pump flow rate 2650 gph. System flow rate 2150 gph...my pool is only about 1700 Gallons, in total. Is 1-2 hours a day/night sufficient? I have no problem running it...
