Thank you Watermom!! I have a good feeling that I will love having a pool. Both of us work out of our house so I'm looking forward for hitting the water when the work whistle blows at quitting time! LOL I'm trying to learn as much as I can, those numbers in the pool ad threw us a bit. My hubby is a mechanical engineer so he always has the calculator out and I'm a software project manager so between the two of us, we have a huge analytical mindset here and really do our homework before we make decisions like this. I think I'm really going to learn a lot here and I'm excited to be a part of the forum!! :-) Thanks for the advice on the test kit, I am sure I will be picking one up long before we get the pool.
