I'll try to get some pictures this weekend. I've been out of town a lot lately so I need to do some maintenance on my yard before I take pictures. Salt and BBB are not mutually eclusive, they go hand in hand. Salt water generator or straight chlorine is still chlorine, the method of chlorine delivery is where they differ.
I've noticed a few tiny pin points of rust and I'm going to sand them and touch up with maybe some rustolium paint.
I need to disassemble and clean my intex salt water generator tomorrow. It keeps switching to the service light. I really miss the swg working. It's always something no matter which way you go, but it is so worth it and the methods taught here are priceless.
I was on the fence over the 22' vs 26' . I finally decided to get the most pool I could for the space. If I had gotten a smaller pool, that's what I'd have had to deal with for the duration. I have no regrets about getting the 26'. My grandkids love the pool, lots of room to play. I love to get a glass (plastic of course) of iced tea, a raft and a hat, get the tunes going and just float around and relax. Right by myself.
Tip number whatever: leave yourself a little wiggle room between your pool side and the pump/filter. I placed mine a little closer than I like. Even 6 - 10" farther away from the pool would help. Once the filter is full of sand and water, there is no moving it (at least for me) as it is extremely heavy and I'm afraid I'll damage it (or myself).
To number whatever +1: I had my deck built at the same level as the pool, with a small space so I could put the cover on it. I'm not entirely sure, but I think putting it over the rail (with space for the cover) might have been better. Only because it would protect the rail from being stepped on. Maybe the other deck guru's on here will have some input on deck height.
I cannot wait to watch your journey thru your pool build. It is so exciting!
