Well then, Cowboy, and whoever else is interested; let me reply with my latest results as of today.... NO BUGS!!!! Not a one!! Whoop. Whoop! My numbers today are similar, however, note my TA is lookin' kinda saweeet! ;) FC - 11 (Guess it takes living at about 11 to AVOID the BUGGIES - in my...

That is one of the only frustrations with the Dolphin in my opinion. My Dolphin is a different model and from time to time it'll get stuck on a 90* angle (one of the stairs or the built in seating bench). If home and if I happen to notice it, I have to gently kick it out of there and then it is...

Thanks for this, Cowboy! I replied to you yesterday but don't see my post :/ I was saying that I had tried that stuff; the BioGuard, last year when my numbers where more outrageous than now and that out of desperation I will give it another shot :) The TA and CH are a pain in the backside but...

Being a pool owner for only one year now, I thought I would try to really stay ahead of my bleach this year to avoid issues with water bugs. I have even been dumping extra bleach; test and scrub, vacuum, skim daily (some of those several times/day). So why in good heavens did I just remove a...

The clarity of my kitchen sink water the morning after I soaked my Dolphin cartridges over night in a sudsy warm Dawn mixture. I have been using the same ones since May 2015 and actually had recently purchased new ones with the mind frame of perhaps maybe replacing them each spring. I was...

Okay. So we've had the shortest winter ever since moving to Oklahoma 9 years ago! But still, to keep the pool blue all winter long in Oklahoma and window-picture-perfect, I swear I spend more hours weekly maintaining my pool than the average Joe. But my fellow pool owners here on Trouble Free...

Thanks, atttech! Yes, I've noticed that with Cali items. Okay, your response makes me feel so much better :) - - - Updated - - - Well I appreciate that, Tim!! Thank you! :) - - - Updated - - - Swampwoman, I do appreciate it. Huh, just checked out the Taylor link. I like the comparisons you...

I realize lots of things can cause cancer and you can't always have it both ways. Call me crazy or paranoid, but does anyone else have an underlying worry of carcinogens you get exposed to from frequent testing? I guess I will start wearing a little painters mask as it suddenly dawned on me that...

Hhuang2620, :cool:Your pool and home are absolutely beautiful! And it doesn't hurt that you live in my old hood, Naples Fl. Spectacular!!

Hi Denise, so nice to see you here! Chiefwej makes some good observational points on pool depth. I too am in your neck of the woods. Our pool is roughly 35ft in length with about only a foot, if that, of shallow end at 3.5 feet. Our max depth is 9ft. I'm 5'4" and in no time my head is...

Queenbee, unfortunately Dom is onto something with their preference in nice, clean pools. These bugs LOVE my pool also. I'm certainly no expert, but interestingly, though, I live in Oklahoma where I researched is part of a specific belt of areas where these things tend to be more of a nuisance...

Oh yes. Thanks. Again.:mrgreen: . Not sure why it said that. Usually put the target at around 90, which I know is the recommended max.
