    Large pool owners - how do you do it?

    Our pool is 43,000 gallons and I know that b/c we had to drain and refill it for a total redo about 18 mos. ago. The water co. charged me for 43,000 gallons. :) We had a smaller pool at our last house - and I was definitely considering the TFP method when we found this house and moved. This...

    How are people in Houston or nearby getting their chlorine?

    How are people in Houston or nearby getting their chlorine? With a huge pool, I would prefer to have it delivered (free of course) and I would like to have the 12% strength but so far, I am not seeing this available to the average homeowner.

    New from Houston

    New - Help me decide what company gets to renovate the pool!

    We have a large pool built in the 80's (1,075', 55-65K/gal)(we'll find out when we re-fill it). It's been repaired once, probably re-plastered once, and now the flagstone coping (all irregular, jagged-edge, mixed-up colors) is breaking apart underneath - not the stone, but the grouting. Half...
