DJ, Welcome! There's several MOCO people on this forum. For winging it it seems you have done quite well for equipment upgrades. We also did VSP, SWG, and a robot and has REALLY made things easy. Until the booster pump actually dies, its outlet has turned into a chemical addition disperser...

Buying a house with a pool brings many onto this site. (That's how I started). Read the links above several times. Buy a test kit you can trust. (TF-100 is great). Just remember, a saltwater pool IS a chlorine pool, but you are generating the chlorine on the fly. You still need to...

4 years ago, I was in the same position you. You'll be just fine. Open (chlorinate) your pool before the water get to 60 degrees and you will likely avoid a green startup.

I've read pretty much all the Pool School info already and will read through again several more times. As for pictures... Here are a couple from my flickr page. They were part of the house listing. We like how the pool is situated on the side of the house. We have a 2 month old and can put...

Hey TFP, I'm closing on my first home at the end of January and it comes with a pool. My wife or I have never really been exposed to home pools and I think this site is going to help us get going on the right foot. I love to figure out how things work and to spend my time and efforts...
