Hi, I have a IC-40 Saltwater Generator. When I test my chlorine with at home test kits (I tried 2) I get a decent reading. Granted- these are cheap kits. So far I have gone to Leslies 2 times and each time they tell me I have no chlorine in my water. I just opened my pool 2 weeks ago. I shocked...

Hey guys, I was hoping for some opinions.... I was planning on pouring my concrete ring around my pool walls, then backfilling some and finally running my plumbing so that the pipes were a little higher and less subject to the weight of the backfill. I spoke with a guy today and he suggested...
