    Autofill

    Do you have a sprinkler system in the backyard? I just paid the irrigation guy $250 to do it. Now my zone 9 is for pool fill... FULL DISCLOSURE: this could be against the rules in some areas of the country. You have to research and decide for yourself!

    Yes really - another Houston pool!

    Leaves and other things blowing around are the primary reason I use hair nets on my skimmer baskets out at the pool. I change them out once a week and I only have to rinse out basket at the equipment pad 1-2 times a year. here is a link from Amazon... B002XK2FS0

    Construction Plans, We may be digging soon so we are down to the wire...

    SWG, VS pump and DE filter all good choices in my book. Looks like Kim will have some feedback on the returns and I would think 4' minimum depth will be much better in the end.
