    Hi All - I had originally started this thread, back in 2019: Pool Build - Arlington, TX Unfortunately, that project fell through, and thanks to COVID, parental health issues, we got delayed. We're about to start the process over, and we're looking at getting a 16x37 fiberglass pool...

    Intex 24x12

    Hi all this is our second season with this pool, and unfortunately, it's "gone green". Local pool guy advised to drain most, scrub, refill, minor shock. We've got the sand system with salt water generator, I've been reading since last year that the pump provided just isn't up to snuff...
