Looking back, since December, there have certainly been a few (EIGHT today alone) ........4.1 the biggest. I thought that the one earlier (9.25 ish) 4.0...... was a scary one!

 Hi simonandjo, We also live in Penna, can you ask your dog to bark a little louder please!!? Thanks, S

I totally agree with the great deal of what you say, (not sure about 'evil' site though !!), I had a look for and around personal preferences within the 'community', couldn't see what it was that I needed to do ! Even more depressing for me is that I'm not aware that I have 'un-set' this particular 'personal' preference! I persevere with the site but it is a challenge at times! Thanks again! S

 I would budget E40k for total solution delivered, ready to swim in, pump and housing installed. Ongoing costs of some E3k per annum for opening/closing, electricity costs, winter and summer chemicals. You will likely on top of this need a winter cover (budget E2k). For a (circa) 4 month period it's a costly item, but I wouldn't be without mine ! Go and do it! S

     Valentina.......... I think it APPEARS to be a browser related issue, but seems somewhat intermittent (this time I'm straight into the typing area!). I ALWAYS end up going to the 'end of the list' of comments and then have to scroll upwards to find the most recent comment. Interesting challenge for you ! Buon anno! S

 Thanks for the tip.............I was thinking that may be a cause, but............. Suggests that there have been some incompatible 'tweaks' !!  I'm using as my default browser IE8..........at what level behind should I stay ?   S

 Chemicals !!!! Without doubt the pool needs chemicals, (mainly chlorine I would think), assuming your pool pump is circulating the water !...........costs assume 30Euros per visit , say 8 times per month, times 5? ..target budget WITHOUT chemicals 1200 Euros, possibly with Chemicals think nearer 1,500, anything much less or much more I'd question. Pools costs money, in maintenance, chemicals and electricity............. S
