Hi all,
My wife and I just bought a home with a pool. We've never had a pool before. My dad grew up with a pool in the late 50s and early 60s and swore he would never own his own based on the amount of work involved. Things have progressed more than a little bit since then I'd guess. I've been perusing the forums for the past week and have found a ton of great information. I'm going to convert the current setup to a saltwater chlorine generator, specifically the Jandy TruClear. The previous owners were hands off and paid to have the pool maintained weekly, 52 weeks a year. That said, I had the water tested and the numbers were off:
I'm a Comp Sci guy by nature, but worked in chemical plants for almost a decade. I think I have a solid understanding of the chemistry theoretically. I know theory and practice deviate from each other based on prior experience. I look forward to chatting with you all!
