We are beginning a new pool in the next 3-4 weeks and are so excited! Hope we are making great choices...totally trust the builder. I look forward to spending more time reading all the awesome information here and LOVE all the photos! Can't wait to post some of our own!

Please consider ordering one of our recommended test kits to take control of your pool.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I've been reading all I can on the methods recommended here to keep my water sparkly. I have to be honest - it is very overwhelming! Neither my husband nor I "grew up" with a pool, so I'm a little nervous about the whole process. But extremely excited to get the build behind us and get cracking!

Don't be. It's easy, as we will prove it to you if you give us the chance.
