Wow. *What needs to be done to mothball a pool?


Really, what kind of revenue does the pool take in. Is it a loser? I
doubt if the economy will effect the use of the pool that much. If
anything people tend to use things like this more during bad economic
times. Instead of taking vacations or going to the movies they go to
the pool.
