Well thats where I luck out as the pool is still up in one piece. I get to take it apart, (sounds like fun right) And have been a mechanic for most of my life. So keeping track of the parts will not be an issue.
So personnel opinion. Would it be better to go with a Saltwater system in the DFW area of Texas? I see plenty of ads on Ebay for Saltwater pump and filter systems on Ebay?
