ty not only for the spam, but also for being wrong. inground pools do NOT raise your property or resale value. they are a money pit. for someone who wants it, that's fine (i plan to have one when i buy), but someone shouldn't expect to get more (or even the same) out of it what you put into it.

now, and gtfo.

Funny this thread came back up. It's clear as freakin' crystal right now and I haven't changed a thing.

Depends on where you live... In Florida it does raise your property value some, but in most places it won't.

No home improvement will yeild a 100%+ ROI... Pools just happen to be one of the lowest ROI's regardless of where you live. And really, owning a pool isn't all that expensive... building a pool on the other hand...

Pretty sure me having a pool would drop my prop value. Though I do get a nice wading pool in my back yard every spring

My best friends family has an above ground that is a tad green right now. Its algae, but they are finding it real hard to get rid of. It just kind of falls to the bottom and is too far from the filter inlet.

(that's assuming she has to top the water off occasionally)

We have well water... Its soft as fuck and never clouds even a wine glass. Maybe the landlord should.... change the sulfer and rust filters every 3-4 months???

I do four steps...

1) Sweep it.
2) Shock it immediately after sweeping, with the pump running - allow pump to run overnight.
3) Run the vacuum the next day for about 6 hours (takes all the shit that settled to the bottom).
4) Run the pump as normal.

My shit's gotten pretty green real quick as I was having trouble keeping chlorine in it during a few weeks of retarded heat and no rain. That process kicked it's ass.
