    It won't be long now. My calculations come up with about 9600 gallons. I have a SWG. This may be a dumb question, but I don't want to go out and buy chemicals that I don't need (or know what they are for). Should I go buy some Salt? Liquid Chlorine? I know this sounds vague, but I really am new...

I went down about 16" on one side, so the was a lot of dirt to move. I am almost done with the leveling and putting...

    Ok I am a blank page- we are getting a back yard pool for the first time- need as much advice as I can get

    I believe that my electrician ran the additional wire through the conduit since we were (digging a trench) laying conduit / electric to my building. And, I believe that he is going to check with the building inspector to see if he can use it, if not, not much of a loss, but if so, then it's...
