This is part of my driveway:
@no@nolaegghead you have no idea. The cost for these was way more than expected, but once you are in that deep, just keep digging.
We got the quote the same day I was notified my number came up to order a smoker from Aaron Franklin. So now everytime I look at these downspouts, I will think of the offset that could have been.Too late now for you, but... I have a 30Kgal cistern. The only other option down here is tanker trucks. Some people (down in the valleys) do have wells, but not many.My daddy always told me that when you are digging yourself into a deep hole, the first thing to do was to stop digging. Hmmm. What a conundrum.Always act so that you can tell the truth about how you act.

Just bought 4 gallons of acid, 4 gallons of liquid chlorine, and 50lbs of chlorine tablets. Ouch! $350. Costco hasn't stocked tablets yet so had to go to a pool store.

Costco hasn't stocked tablets yet so had to go to a pool store.I went with a chlorine generator. Add salt - be sure to use pool salt. Maintain pH and chlorine levels. Pool should be on autopilot unless you have contaminants getting in from outside.Intense sun can play with the chlorine chemistry a bit. I control with the addition of muriatic acid.

My last pool even with a salt cell sized for a pool twice my size I had to run it almost 18hrs a day and cell lasted 1.5 years. Luckily it had a 5 year warranty.Maybe your purpose in life is only to serve as an example for others? - LPL

Well, I'm glad I didn't believe you had thoughtlessly selected your system. I was told up front that chlorine generators are typically undersized (2x should be the standard size). Glad I did. We use rain water (or RO water from a tanker during droughts) from the cistern. Works well for us. If you have operated a pool before, I am sure you have (or will) everything under control. No leaks yet, I hope.

I am starting to research heat pumps with solar power setup. That seems like an excellent way to heat/cool the pool.Maybe your purpose in life is only to serve as an example for others? - LPL

I am starting to research heat pumps with solar power setup. That seems like an excellent way to heat/cool the pool.Let me know how it goes with direct solar powered heat pump. Higher amperage components - mine is 220V @ 45A min. (Aqua Cal). I ended up just putting 10kW of solar panels on the roof tied into the local utility (WAPA). I use the 200A service to my garage to feed the beast. I have a 30kW diesel generator for standby power rated at 125A - most people don't factor amperage needs (just kW) into the selection of generators.There are passive solar pool heating options out there - basically black tube sheets with a pump. Ugly to look at though, so you need space to hide.Always act so that you can tell the truth about how you act.

@Ozzie_Isaac It's been a while since I've had to take care of a pool but my dad switched to this several years ago and has been very happy with it. He was having an issue with "pink slime" and it was just eating the crap out of the chlorine and this took care of it.

If you are going to only own one decent tool, this is it. This is the same screwdriver Snap-on has been selling for decades. It's a life-changer.
