Ok thanks for your ideas!

Yes, the pool stores ask me why I'd want that....like I'm crazy. When I say I want I stabilized chlorine they say "oh we have tabs with no stabilizer"

Ok, thanks for the input......everyone I called seemed baffled by the question! Lol. I'll try some more in LA.

I know we are looking at summertime....but I have some general questions about closing this fall. Our builder said we should balance our chemicals, put the mesh cover on and run the pump and polaris 280 cleaner a few hours per day. Questions: 1) mesh cover allows for rainwater to mix with...

I can't seem to find anyone who carries the higher percentage liquid chlorine...... Any one out there who lives near shreveport, louisiana or Marshall, texas with a location that sells it?

Hi everyone, thanks so much for your tips. We cleaned pump basket and stuck hands in pipe to clear. Added more water before closing pump. Wasted out a lot of rainwater and then back washed again. All seems to be running fine now!! Thanks for all of your responses and advice!!!!

I will try these suggestions this afternoon when we get home! Thanks much! Stay tuned please!!

Dave, Thanks so much for your quick response!! Have a great day!;)

Jason, Thank you so much for your quick response!!! Preventing liner fade is of our utmost concern. From the CYA/Chlorine chart my FC level should be kept between 2 and 4 at a level of 30 CYA. Is this correct? Any opinions on helping prevent liner fading? After yesterday's results I did...

Big storm last night. Cleaned pool and pumped for 3 hours before testing. "Pool Guys" have been taking care of pool weekly for 2 weeks and just came Thursday and added 1 gallon muriatic acid and 3 lbs granule dichlor chlorine. Here are my first test results!! CYA- 30 Calcium Hardess - 120 PH...
