I have been reading about the older plaster being better. That some
newer plaster isn’t as good. Can someone please explain precise what
this means. That is what is the difference between ‘good’ and ‘bad’

question?
Has anyone here done their own […]

Hello Everyone;
I am newly subscribed and we are getting ready to build a pool, our
first pool ever. I’m wondering if people could share recommendations

Thanks,

Hi i am a new member and we are getting a 20×40 inground pool. One
of the options is a Mineral Salt system by Bioguard. I would like
to know what the annual cost would be for this system for the pool.

I just bought and installed a new Pentair Whisperflo 2HP pump and a
Pentair Triton II TR-100 sand filter. I connected all of the
plumbing and electrical and turned on the pump. Everything runs good
