Please fill in your information in the following chart. It makes it much easier to help. Also, if you will make a signature with your pool specs in it, please. (See link in my signature below.)

It's much easier to answer your questions, when we know something about your pool. We often 'waste' the first few posts back and forth collecting information. So, please complete our new Pool Chart form -- it takes about 30 seconds, but will save much more than that.
