    Finally... Now a question about my skimmer cover

    Thanks. It came with the screws so I've just been using them. But now that the work is done back there, there won't be so much traffic so I think I'll just take them out. As far as a skimmer sock goes, what's the advantage of that? Won't my DE filter trap the smallest particles anyway?

    Hi, after what seems like forever, my new 12x20 oval Radiant is finally filling up with water. Though we won't be able to swim for a couple of weeks because the patio work is underway now, I will start up the pump and filter to keep the water somewhat clean while they are working. I have a...
