    Should I continue to SLAM?

    Hi Debrina, Joe from Sayville here. I actually signed on to try and get some help with my pool and saw your post. I guess you have now made me a firm believer of this site. I will start researching as much as i can and hopefully get my cloudy pool clear. Glad yours is getting on the right track.

    Thanks guys... Appreciate the nice comments. Radiant pools use an "In-ground" pool liner so it allows for a standard brick coping. One of the reasons why I got that type of pool in the first place.
