Thanks very much for quick response...would one 2L bleach jug be a good place to start? Thanks for recommendation on the CYA, the pool company recommeded I run it between 30-50, which seemed low compared to everything I read here. I will raise that up too for better stabalization. A great...

Good morning folks, I would really appreciate some feedback. Our SWG pool water turned a little cloudy for the first time (we've owned the pool for about a year). We had a large crew of kids swimming here last weekend for Canada Day (PS - Happy July 4th long weekend to those of you in the...

Hello, Our inground salt water pool project is underway. It has been roughly a year in the planning stage. We are very excited (and a little nervous!). We are about a week into the project - I am reading and studying the pool school and other resources on this forum. The weather here in...
