The aluminum ones may do the trick...Thanks!! Afraid the dogs will chew the wood ones.

We have 3 big dogs who have taken to laying on the spa cover. They have bent it in so much it is in the water. One is a puppy and has chewed it up also. We have thrown it away and are looking for something to replace it with that they wont ruin. We have thought about getting marine grade plywood...

Re: Walking path to pool-pea gravel or mulch with stepping p Careful which pavers you buy...I have some to the pool and they get soooo hot we cant walk on them during the day. Looking for something to replace them with now. I did try mulch first and it was messy but at least we could walk on it.

beautiful dogs..do they swim also? My husband wants the lab to get in the pool this summer. I say NO...cause I can just see her getting all wet and then coming in the house and shaking the water off. Will be a nightmare!!!

Too funny :lol: I sure hope not!

oh boy...will be hard to do. We both work all day and the dogs have a doggy door. Thanks, will try.

I have a salt water pool. My two dogs like to drink the water from the pool instead of coming in for fresh water. Will this harm them?

I read it and made lots of sense and doing it right now....thankyou..... :party:

I did what you said and just put the stabilizer straight into the skimmer, no sock, slowly and it worked perfectly!! No more hanging a sock from the rope in the pool...Thanks Tina

Yep.....that was my error. But the pool place also told me not to pour it in straight to the filter. Oh well......Tina

I was told not to pour it in without a sock. When I put it in the skimmer it shot my pressure up so high I didnt like it. Just shows there are many ways to do it, just find one your comfortable with!! Tina

Thanks all....I have been using the pool with the drain closed to no ill effects, but I will keep it half open now. Tina

I had the same problem. I hang a panty knee high hose from the rope that separates the deep from the shallow. After a couple of days I get in the pool and squish it around and it is mostly dissolved. I leave it a few days more and squish it up and its gone. Tina

Its on a ball valve, so I can adjust it half way open. That wont hurt it? Thanks Tina

Our pool has two bottom drains and a skimmer. Is it necessary to keep one bottom drain open? Thats the way it was set up, but the skimmer doesnt pull enough. When we close the bottom it pulls just fine. TIA Tina
