in my experience.., CYA isn't an issue for the pool guy, because they ignore it... what you don't know can't hurt you - right?

Both are considerably more expensive than walmart - at least near me.

My local Walmart is closing... I have been getting all my liquid chlorine there There is a Costco nearby, but I have never been a member and don't know what they sell. I am thinking of joining. I looked on the Costco website, and they don't appear to sell chlorinating liquid, but I figured I...

so - have you guys been buying online at walmart, and having it delivered? i didn't think they would deliver it... do they charge for shipping?

my local walmart just replaced the chlorinating liquid with christmas decorations... I had to pay ~$8.50 a galon at home depot

i have a circupool variable speed pump i think my pool is about 32,500 gallons. i live in CT, and the pool is open early June-through September - it's not heated. i probably run the pump more than is needed - we like to see the water moving!

i'm in a similar situation as the OP - liquid chlorine is a pain. my local stores have stopped carrying it for the season- they are putting Christmas stuff on the shelves... one thing i haven't been able to figure out: yes, I will save money on chlorine.., but what about electricity? Do these...

I have a kidney shaped pool, and I need a new cover for the winter. My current cover was supplied by the pool maintenance company, before I started doing it myself. the cover is falling apart - it's a Meyco. I would prefer to buy something else. This is my second Meyco, and they seem very...

yes - i can easily leave it open it opens and closes by a valve on the manifold near my pump, and does not have any kind of cover at the pool -the port is just a hole with a plastic fitting in the wall of the pool - this is a pretty old pool. i should probably mention again that i have the...

everything seems normal

Pretty sure there isn't i checked for blockages in the hose too

I'm not really asking it to take care of algae - just to clean up fine gray stuff that has settled to the bottom - which might be dead algae i haven't done the overnight test yet

the skimmer is fine - the water level does not get sucked low. that's why i don't think the filter is the problem - it would affect the skimmer too also - every now and then i get great suction - without doing anything with the filter...

So, I have a vacuum head that goes on a long pole with a hose that can connect to the skimmer hole, or a dedicated cleaning port on the side of my pool. Sometimes, it works great - i turn the pump up high and the thing has enough suction that it sticks to the walls - which is great because i...

are these pool cleaners mostly for bigger kinds of debris? when i open my pool I usually have a gray powdery looking substance on the floor of my pool. I think it's dead algae, but i'm not sure. I occasionally get it during the season as well. i usually vacuum it to waste, or to the filter if...
