I cant speak for anyone else, but I had to resod my yard. I put down Flortam, then seeded the sod with zoysa and bermuda grass. Its an odd combination, but each grass offers its own strenghts, By doing it this way, it stays greener with less water, still has softer grass in it. (no florida grass...

Re: I can hear the EPA knocking at our door already! "who suggested the problems caused by a reduction in levels of disinfectant could be offset if swimmers showered before taking a dip, wore bathing caps and refrained from urinating" This is my favorite quote in the article. Really why I dont...

speaking as a nurse 94 can be warm, depending upon your underlying medical conditions. If you have high blood pressure and take meds, you may be causing your body to have low blood pressure as the added warmth will increase the size of your vascular compartments but generally unlikey at 94...

Troublefreepool.com ROCKS Before finding this forum, I thought my pool water looked good. Little did I know. It used to be one trip to the pool store then another spending 20 to 30 bucks a week to keep the pool just marginal. Now after the help of everyone here, my pool finally does look good...

When I had a DE filter and had changed it to Perlite or the other replacement stuff, I had a small tear in one of the laterals, it would sometimes spit out this kind of stuff. Usually a grey color. I got rid of the filter because it was old. Also I come from the midwest. I know that if you get...

I would recheck the prices at the store you mentioned. I can get 2.5 gallons 10.5% liquid chlorine there for $4.86 They come in a reuseable container. Call the main number on the website and check prices, then have them send you a quote to give to the store manager, they might price match.

I too thought the the kits were a bit costly, but since I have started using this method I have started to save some real $$$ for pool care So far I have gone from 30 to 50 per month minimum in chemicals to less than $20 per month switching to liquids. The kits pay for themselves over time.

Its been over 8 wks since I have used pucks. Pucks are the reason I started looking for a better way and found this forum. CYA was ++++++++ No inlines, no floaters, no automated gizmos. Just plain old chlorine bleach If its not the ddition of the air, it almost has to be the increased contact...
