Ok let's see if I got the signature correct ;) I meant to say slamming not shock...sorry that's the old school in me coming out. So we can do a swg?? That changes everything I think. We've been told they will rot the metal sides of an AG pool. Please point me in the right direction.

What can I get so that I don't have to test and add bleach daily? Can I use a swg on an above round pool? Since it's turning green again, should I shock it again or just wait till next season? I'm about ready to turn the pump off and start over next year since it's getting too cool to use it...

I started tfp when we got our above ground pool a few months ago. With a chronically ill child who also has severe eczema, I need help. Lil man's skin looks awful because he wants to swim daily when not at Dr's. And if I skip a couple days of testing the pool water because we're at these...

Thank ya'll so much! It really sounds so easy! Almost too easy lol. Will test as soon as I get home this afternoon and post here :) I'll grab my bleach and stuff while I'm out.

Please help. I've printed the entire pool school and read it. I've ordered and got in my hand the TF-100 test kit. But I'm still lost. The pool is almost full so I know I need to figure this out quick. Someone gave us a 15x30 oval 52 inch deep pool. We had it professionally installed...
