Wow. I'm blown away by all the responses! It is good to see an active pool forum folks can turn to with questions. Makes life much easier. So I called the pool store this afternoon and voiced my concerns. Of course they say the frog system will not drive the CYA up or put enough copper in to turn hair green or stain the liner. Time will tell. And I fully believe in your alls expertise as your not trying to sell me a thing. They on the other hand want me there for many years to come
I ordered the Tf100 kit. Ill update my signature as soon as it arrives. As far as the deck the picture with only 2 screws was only temporary. Many many more 3" decking screws were used on those beams. The joists all have hangers when the angle was close enough to do so. Joist hangers were only sold in 90 degree and 45 degree so against the pool was very limited on how many joist hangers were used. On the other side of the joists hangers were used on every joist. 16" centers. 2x8. 3" #9 screws used on the entire deck frame. 2.5" screws on the deck boards and hand rail. I also asked about my pool warranty and back filling is a no no. Oh well. Need to find somewhere to put this dirt. A gravel walk path is about the extent of what i can do and meet what the salesman said about the warranty. 2" high with gravel is the highest i can go. Not liking that one bit. He even said the gravel might have to be pulled back for liner replacement.
