    Start up pool chemicals-League City, TX

    Hi TFP- I've been lurking and learning a lot during the build of our pool in League City, TX. I've learned a few things we did wrong during our contract phase (not-insisting on SWG), but overall feel we did an excellent job with our first pool design. With COVID, we have had numerous...
