    Pump/Filter Upgrade Recommendations?

    That makes sense.....last summer was the *first* summer since the pool was installed in 1996 that we didn't have any algae blooms....credit given to this site and my SWG for having a full, clear season. So I'm hoping to be past the clean/bloom/clean cycle forever. So, to summarize -- a...

    Pump/Filter Upgrade Recommendations?

    Any disadvantages to a cartridge filter? Is the flow significantly above DE or sand filters --- in real-world use not according to manufacturer 'specs'. BTW....Our first 'pool' was a 12' diameter, 3' deep 'pool in a box' that we used a couple of years before installing the IG pool. That pool...

    Another Refugee from Poolforum.com

    Thanks for the welcome, everybody! I've really done very little with the pool this summer (including very little use) since my wife and I have been busy building a new deck. The deck is almost done (just the railings, lighting, and one set of stairs to go). Just in time to close the pool! I...

    Another Refugee from Poolforum.com
