Hello all after winter break! I may have messed up my pool.:oops: I did not cover it this fall and winter so I have a bunch of leaves in the bottom. I have been dipping them out and nearly have them all. We got the pump hooked back up today and started shocking to get rid of the green water...

I need to have a small hissy fit rant about this stupid pool! :rant: The weather has been crappy since the install and all I have done is clean with no playing. Now that the weather is supposed to be sunny, warm, and no rain. The water temp was 80 today. I put on my bathing suit, got the...

Hey guys and guys I have a question. The pool is finally standing and water going in. Woohoo. We have a well so it will take several days to fill it without killing the pump. It stormed really bad yesterday so I added about a quart of bleach (8.5) and about a 1/2 cup of dichlor. Skimmed the tree...

Hello all! :wave: Putting up my very first pool and thankful I found this site. I was becoming overwhelmed by lists of chemicals and abbreviations I had no clue at what they were. Pool School has helped immensely. My test kit should arrive Friday (tf100) per site instructions! Water should...
