    Opened to a nice pond yesterday.

    Pump Upgrade options

    OMG I'm so sorry, I mistook that photo for a broken lid! To my (maybe on my phone, I don't recall?) it looked like filter material instead of peeled label . Mea Culpe.

    Best above ground pool

    Best above ground pool

    SWG is an abbreviation for Salt Water Chlorine Generator. It's the way some (most) folks around here sanitize their pools. VERY convenient!! As to your other questions, I'm gonna refer your post to a couple previous/current above ground pool (AGP) owners. @kimkats @woodyp @Casey Maddie 🇮🇹
