    I can't wait for the weather to warm up a bit so the kids can get in there, that pool sparkles now! Wife still has reservations on this whole thing. My daughter would have rashes on her legs when the pool was on chlorine several years ago (we always used pucks, LOTS of them). She is concerned...

    Thanks everyone. I replaced the filter today, so we will see how it goes tonight. I can tell you there was still quite a bit of orange scum trapped deep in the pleats of the filter. The high chlorine was also starting to deteriorate the rubber on the ends of the filter..... New filter in, and...
