    Cantilever Umbrellas and Wind

    Starting the Journey after the Pool Guy spurned me

    I should have gotten more info. I asked him and he said it was salt based. I'm still cleaning it from the pool, you can see what looks like sand in the close up photo.

    Very high CC, cloudy blue water.

    My 2 cents- get a speed stir. It's a big help in keeping your FC tests consistent and my readings were much improved after I started using one.

    Starting the Journey after the Pool Guy spurned me

    So far the one pool tile guy who called me back quoted $975 to $1075 depending on which media he ends up having to use :oops:. Wasn't expecting that! Trying to get more quotes
