Well, Spring. If you're in the Southern Hemisphere, that is.
Hello to all at TFP!
I originally came across TFP about five years ago after buying our house that came with a pool. Too expensive to remove, so I begrudgingly accepted it and actually started to have a bit of fun working out what did what, but was relying on a pool shop for tests. Just before I decided to get a testing kit, I broke many bones and the pool was left to the pool shop to look after.
Over time, I've started to get a bit frustrated with how some things are being done to the pool. Just recently, it's been drained and repainted - wow what a difference - for what I assume was the first time since it was originally built. It's looking amazing and only in hindsight can I say it was a depressing, grey hole in the ground that was probably sucking all the fun out of owning a pool.
The new look has reignited my interest in DIY-ing the pool care. I've ordered myself a Taylor K-2006C test kit and am looking forward to giving it a red hot crack. Not to mention freeing myself of the pool shop.
See ya around.
