    Have you looked into Borates? Not saying it would solve all your ills, but the water sure is nice :)

    High TA reading

    A whole sentence disappeared. The only way to lower CH is to drain and refill, provided that the water you put in is lower in CH. There are those who manage just fine with high CH by keeping their water balanced.

    Goldline pro logic issue or salt cell issue, where to start?

    Re: Goldline pro logic issue or salt cell issue, where to st If you're popping all sorts of electrical, I'd start there by having that checked out. I'm in N. Florida, (Tally) and I've had wildly differing results at the several pool stores in town with all the chemistry, salt being the worst...

    vinyl pool owners: how do you vacuum your corners?

    coping repair or replace options???

    For what it's worth, my coping is in similar shape. My PB replaced the liner track, screwing it underneath the coping. If you don't get an answer in a day or two, I'll give my PB a call about my issue, to help you solve yours.

    Safe to swim in chlorine?

    If I were concerned about Chlorine, I'd not drink tap water, nor maintain my pool, or use my pool, clean my bathrooms, or sport the whitest of white laundry. I do or have all of the above. So no, I'm not concerned. It is rumored that pretty much everything causes cancer. From power lines...

    To add to this now that I think about it, to me, it is far easier to have two people on this task.

    A pool story - Now with pics, and a short vid!

    We rain 3 shop vacs, and babysat the liner around the steps as the water rose. One at the skimmer, one on each side of the shallow end. They're good to go now, with some adjusting and wiggling.

    Who's putting poo in our pools?

    The CBS News version of the same article recommended using strips to test your sanitation level. Saw it posted several hours ago, declined to post it here. BUT NOW.... Here's the link...

    A pool story - Now with pics, and a short vid!

    SWG installed. Too bad really in a way, as I've been managing the pool just fine without spending over $1000. It's been backordered for a month. I did the SGS Breeze 760, install was well, a breeze :)
