Welcome fellow North Alabama pool owner. If you got questions we're here to help. (pool/wife about = in maintenance)

I went the whole 9 yards and did complete automation with an Autopliot system. We love it. Just throw in the robot one a week and the pool is clean and shiny. The unit has been running since early March and it's keeping the FC between 3.5- 6.5 ph at 7.45- 7.52 with the Temps going from the 60s...

Kim, I just can't make this stuff up. Back to your earlier question......the building is 30 Ft x 8 Ft with each end walled at 7 FT. The pump room is 8 x 7 with the sump pit at 3' x 4' and 42" deep. There is all kinds of room to get the filter back in. I'll take progress pics along the way.

240sx guy, yep ain't she special. I can hear it now......." hey hold my beer and watch this" I have a new Jandy epump waiting to go in as soon as I finish the electric. Converting to salt but not until spring. It will look better when I'm done.:eek:
