I am new to TFP (like many, I have taken away much advice from this forum before finally joining today). We have just finished construction on a new in ground pool (not our first pool, but definitely new). Rectangular Pebble sheen, 16k gallons. First exposure to a UV & DE filter system, so lots to learn in that regard . From previous pool troubles in Arizona, I am very familiar with tablets and ever-increasing CYA levels, so I am definitely a bleach convert in the making with lots to learn about that as well. Looking forward to greater pool care success as part of the TFP forum.

Hey Bongo ! If you haven’t already, get yourself your own Test Kits Compared

The UV system doesn’t pan out in the real world like some builders hope it does. But on the plus side, it’s almost always part of the package that doesn’t reduce the price if you remove it from the build, so it probably didn’t matter either way.

Hey Newdude, thanks for the feedback and links (and the great info on UV systems). Yes, the UV was included as part of the better DE pump system from this builder (I guess that get's tallied in the "is-what-it-is" column). I do not hold any high hopes for it and will rely more on traditional pool sanitation. I look forward to more great feedback from everyone here as we get to know our new pool.
