    Winter chemical balance

    I have a mesh cover and need to drain water every now and then. Once a month I put 3/4 of a gallon of liquid chlorine, aka bleach, and mix with a submersible pump for a few hours. I’m in Maryland. I don’t put any other chemicals in though.

    Tarp over mesh

    Hello all, I was talking to a neighbor who also had a mesh cover and said she had no leaves and opened with little cleaning at opening of her pool. When I asked how, she said she had a tarp with bag weights over her mesh cover. Anyone else have luck with this?

    Pump replacement

    Hey everyone, I’m looking to get a back up VS motor and pump combo. I would like to get one that all I have to do is plug and play from the old one. Any recommended places?
