Hello from Houston

[weiyin]

Hi, all. I bought my first house with a pool 3 years ago, knowing nothing about how pools work. I've slowly learning, with a lot of help from this site. I still have a professional come every week to clean and maintain chemicals. But I've done a few fixes myself such as changing the salt cell, cleaning the filter, swapping out a valve actuator, and changing a light.

I finally decided to create an account, so am saying hi!

Welcome to the forum!

I suggest you read through Pool Care Basics - Trouble Free Pool and even look at a few of our videos TFP-TV - Trouble Free Pool

Welcome
Lots of members from the Houston area.

when you get a chance, consider adding the description of your setup to your Signature, which will aid the experts to quickly tailor responses to your pool and equipment, and you won't need to repeat it in future posts.

@HermanTX Thanks for the advice! I'm also in the Katy area.

I filled out my profile the best I could. My pool is irregularly shaped so I can't be sure of how many gallons it is.
