    Thanks for the piece of info, coming from someone in construction. I wish I could do some sort of DIY project like that but I'm not that skilled and my wife will NOT go for that, haha.

Current liner is absolutely destroyed, it's been empty since end of last Summer so I'm not sure how structurally sound the walls are any more, the fiberglass steps are very old and have many small holes so that needs to be...

    SWG - Is it REALLY worth it??

    Ok, well since I've been thoroughly convinced to go on with the SWG installation, I've also read that water temp should be at least 70 degrees before installing, is this true? Any other tips on install I should know about or be wary of? Thanks for all the info! Rich

    SWG - Is it REALLY worth it??

    I think I somehow I came across some hippie website that was saying it was bad for the earth, I dunno, haha. So you're saying my diving board and ladder won't be affected by the salt? I thought at least that was common knowledge.

    Zero chlorine levels, crystal clear pool .. ??

    I haven't added any water since beginning of Winter, so it shouldn't Iron. If I removed the Nature2 mineral cartridge about a week ago, do you suggest I test to find out how much metal is still in the pool, or should I just begin the liquid chlorine/bleach and get that FC number up to around...

    Zero chlorine levels, crystal clear pool .. ??

    Sorry I forgot to mention that Ive had 3 - 3" chlorine pucks in EACH of the 2 skimmers , 6 total, because I couldn't get the chlorine up and the pool was clear but had a hue of slight green, I saw some rise for a couple days, maybe .6-1.0 FC, but now it's at zero, and pool is crystal clear.. ...

    Zero chlorine levels, crystal clear pool .. ??

    My pool is crystal clear with ZERO chlorine. I removed the Nature2 cartridge I installed last April, which is meant to keep chlorine levels low, so I'm wondering if that it is still doing it's thing maybe with the actual mineral cartridge removed? (I left the cartridge holder thing for now...
