    New pool in southern Minnesota

    How much detail do you want TJ? I can answer any questions you have, or I could photo copy the bid (redacting the price info). - - - Updated - - - Too Late for that JV. I liked the promise of less reliance on Chlorine and other chemicals. The adds tout "near drinking water levels of Chlorine"...

    New pool in southern Minnesota

    After more than a year of planning I've broken ground on my pool project. I'll let my picture do most of the talking.

    Hello from Minnesota.

    Pool builder is recommending Paramount's o3/UV combo system to reduce need for chemicals. He's also recommending Hayward Tiger Shark auto pool cleaner.

My builder is recommending 4 Hayward AC 320 lights (like at his pool). I've seen his pool and was unimpressed by the illumination given off by the smaller accent...
