Name is Joe. Just entered in to the wonderful world of pool ownership. Just completed (2.5 weeks ago) our 14.4k gal inground pool. I went to pool store on the recommendation of the contractor, then came home and read about this site. I immediately noticed so many items that seemed like the end of the world at the store are minor items based on several topics I have read. I hope to learn a lot. I will be posting soon with my first questions based on the results of the pool store test.
