Amazon has the Intex 28651 sand filter and pump as a deal of the day. $157.99. Free shipping. Not sure if that's a good price. Just thought I'd let people know.

Just curious...would the concentration of salt in a pool lower the freezing point enough that it could aid in freeze protection? It doesn't apply to me because I have to winterize in Michigan but I don't think I've seen any discussions about it.

I bought my house in May but it was my grandma's so I've been taking care of the pool for 20 years already, albeit poorly I've come to find out since joining the forum. Anyway, I'm certain she is doing violent somersaults in her grave because I haven't closed the pool yet. She would have been...
