Just got an email from Leslies. It is Shock Week - who woulda known. Glad I wont be celebrating or even participating.

I think I already know the answer to this. I have an above ground pool. In Texas we have been getting a little rain lately (last weekend was 10") the skies opened up again last night. Lots of pumping water to waste (sorry California if I could get it to you I would). This morning I am standing...

First off this has been a great summer - first full summer with the pool and this method makes it easy to maintain. With that being said we always had some small accumulation of what looked like dead algae each day. The numbers were perfect always within spec. In the last week or two I made a...

Last year we had a green Baquacil pool and very little swimming. Made the conversion several months ago and are really enjoying the pool. 100 degree days feel different now. Cooling clear water!

All of our water pathways to and from the pump and filter are those ribbed hoses that came with the original system. The line from the filter to the pool tends to move around as the water flows through it. That movement has now caused a small leak. It is time to upgrade. It looks like 1 1/2...

I actually know the answer to the question. We have had a little bit of rain in Texas and that led to lots of pumping water off. The pool looks great. I was noticing that my chlorine consumption was a bit higher than usual. I ran a CYA test today after I saw a 4 ppm loss. My CYA was down around...

I finally pulled the trigger on the pool blaster max. I have been looking for something that I could easily stick in the pool and suck up that nuisance stuff on the bottom with out going through the hose dance. It arrived today. I gave it several hours to charge. I turned it on an stuck it in...

I still consider myself a newbie at this pool care stuff. Have had the pool since last June - started out Baq then converted. I have done more than my fair share of testing. To start out my water is fabulous. I have some junk at the bottom (leaves and what appears to be dirt - puffs when brushed...

We have had the above ground pool for a little less than a year now. We started with the baquacil and and are now on chlorine as this site teaches. Love it water is crystal clear all of the time - how boring. We got a mamba vac with the pool this thing that goes clickity-clack and never cleans...

I have posted here before and had my mind set on waiting until this swim season was over and doing the conversion upon opening next spring. My pool is a green mess. We have dumped and dumped the baquacrap in, vacuumed and brushed over and over again. No progress. Here is the question. Stop the...

We put the AG pool in about 6 weeks ago. The folks at the pool store convinced us to go the Baquacil route. Now I know why - headed full steam to the poor house. I have read through many of the threads on conversions. Just trying to decide when to do it. Being in Texas with lots of heat and sun...
