We live West of Atlanta, going on our fourth season with our pool. Put it in for anticipated grandkids, had none four years ago, now we have four with one more due in two weeks! Have really enjoyed all the family time around our pool, but now I can’t get the wife to go back to the lake for time on the cabin cruiser, dang it!

Been reading this forum for the past few months, and decided to cancel my pool service because frankly it just doesn’t appear to be too difficult to keep the pool in good shape. The only thing I ever saw the pool guy do was add muriatic acid and/or sodium bicarbonate.

Took my first readings today and posted in the First Timers column topic. Hope to get some good advice. We’ve never had a problem and I hope I can keep it that way!
