Hello from Northern Ontario

[Blue Bird]

Wow! What a great Resource!
Thanks Trouble Free Pool for all the great info.

We're just finishing up laying the base for our first pool - above ground, 16' diam x 4' deep (6,000 gallons if I did the math right) and I'm very excited to get it running!

I'm not heat tolerant at all - I wilt around 18C, and it's been in the high 20's/low 30's here just North of Lake Huron lately so we're motivated to get this baby going!

Pretty sure I wouldn't survive a week in Florida or Texas.... How do you guys do it??

Looking at pics of some of your beautiful pools, I'm already dreaming about an in-ground pool of our own.

I'm looking forward to diving into (see what I did there? ) this forum and learning as much as I can.

Cheers All
Blue Bird

Wait a minute.....didn't you guys get some snow this winter? Geez - that had to be challenging if you weren't set up for it. You go for any polar dips?

What are temps like down there mid summer?

We'll get into the 100-110 degree range in my area with humidity of about 70-90%. The humidity is the worst part. I grew-up in the southwest (Las Vegas, Phoenix) areas and always tolerated the dry desert heat, but the humidity is a completely different beast. Takes some getting used to.
