    I/G Light in A/G Pool

    I went ahead and installed the Hayward Elite light. It seems to do an ok job. I actally like how it looks from a distance. Since my liner is blue the pool gives off a nice blue glow. I'll try to take some pictures of it sometime. With electrical inspection coming up I decided I didn't want...

    I/G Light in A/G Pool

    New Liner? Do I have to?

    I recently bought a new liner. I did a lot of searching, and I couldn't find anyone that could beat the price of http://www.northeastpoolstore.com/Liners/liners.htm when factoring in shipping, handling, etc. I also noticed that almost everyone on the web seems to be reselling the same two...
