Thanks for your help, Jason! :wave:

I guess when I looked at that filter, I was only thinking "maintenance" and not "intensive cleanup effort". Now I look at the website and I could have gotten the 18inch filter for less than $100.00 more. Why didn't they have that sale this winter???? I definately am babysitting and I am very...

OK, a new swim year, and the challenge of getting my swamp (we have attracted tree frogs) cleared up. I didn't cover the pool this winter (first mistake) and due to illness I was not able to maintain the pool. I have started on the pool today, and have a concern. I know very little about...

:bump: TizMe -- What happened when you added salt to the water? I am curious if it helped your wife or not. I am adding salt this weekend IF I can get to the store. I have severe psoriasis; over 50% skin coverage (no folks, it's not contagious) and a few other auto-immune disorders, and I...

GCS, My Intex is the same as yours, with the skimmer box thru the wall. I have been looking at other setups and your's is the only one that I have heard of that is like mine. I also noticed that I gave ALOT less for my Intex than I have seen others priced at. I only gave $350.00 at Wal-Mart...

Hi and welcome! This is my first time welcoming anyone, LOL. It sounds beautiful where you are. You will definately have to post pictures, everyone here loves to see other's pools and views! I lived in Everett for awhile, and I absolutely loved the PNW. What a diverse part of the US. I...

How many people leave their pools open during the winter? I have thought I might just leave mine open so I can still see the pretty water.......any ideas or something I am not thinking about?

OK.....here are my test results....I think I have tested what I was supposed to! BTW water is very clear. PH 7.3 FC 1.0 CC 1.0 TC 2.0 TA 100 CYA -- Less than 20, I could still see the black dot at the bottom of the tube. Water temp 82F I am having a bit of a problem because I forgot to...

82....only partial sun during the day, it gets full sun from around 11am to 4pm. Love the trees, hate the mess!

ROFL....nice job! I especially like how the Coors light box is on the table, then in the next progression, there are cans on the ground. That is how my husband works too! Sorry, I couldn't resist......and it does look really good!

Thanks everyone......and thanks Jason for spelling it out, LOL. I have everything I need, except for the stabilizer. I have read pool school several times.....and I mean with my test results in hand, but for some reason I just froze up on how to start this. What is up with that anyway...

New pool water delivered today, only got to test a few minutes ago.....see results.....did I leave anything out? What do I do now? I feel sooooo helpless already, LOL T/A = 30 FC = .5 CC = 1 CYA = Never changed color PH = 7.2

Hi Everyone! I have been reading on here for about a week, trying to make sure I am setting up my pool correctly! :-D AND I just ordered my TF100 test kit a few minutes ago. My pool isn't all the way up yet (AG 18'x48") but should be by tonight. I am calling the pool water guy in about...
