    Hello, brand new to the forum and really glad one of the members mentioned it in youtube video of his pool mods. I like many have a potential DIY Disaster LOL. I had a 15x42 round frame for years and loved it. best $300-400 plus some pump upgrades ever spent. But out property has a huge slope...
