    MARCO...polo

    Hi, my (forum) name is MARCO...polo and I'm a splash-a-holic. After several summers with an INTEX plastic pond and many years with a portable fiberglass spa we finally decided to go "all in", do it right and build a pool/spa into a new backyard. I'm finally getting the chemistry close after...
