I tend to over-engineer things. Badly. Just finished refinishing a pool slide. Has standard option for water delivery with a garden hose. I've been using it for a few days now, and it's becoming inconvenient, IMO. I don't have a return stubbed for a slide, either. My new idea is to get a...

I've used so much information on this site for 3 years now, have made a few posts, but must admit I haven't gone full-bore until this weekend. I have been depending on pool store tests for 3 years, and am getting tired of it. Finally ordered my TF-100 yesterday, got excited, and went and...
