That all makes sense. We do have a spill over from the spa to the pool so that is probably doing it. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

I have a plaster ig pool we built last summer. Things are starting to warm up here in Houston, so I've been watching the chemicals more closely and we have even heated it a few days to let the kids enjoy it during spring break. Since we put the pool in it seems like it has required constant...

Great advice! Many thanks. I'll keep you posted as things progress. BTW, we are spending lots of time in the water and LOVING IT!! Best family time we've had in a while.

No kidding!! I'll have to buy him a few beers and pick his brain.... :lol: 8-) Thanks for the warm welcome. :)

What a fantastic place! I'm so glad I found this. This is Lee from Missouri City (SW Houston) Texas. We decided last week to start "looking into" putting in a pool and in less than a week I'm already considering being my own GC. Have LOTS more research to do, but we have a big back yard and...
