Thanks cowboycasey

The pool has been sitting at 7.6 on average no matter what FC did except this morning now 8.2 chart is is calling for 40 oz Muriatic Acid. FC is about 2.5 so I added a half gallon of liquid chlorine (which was already planned in an anti-algae routine I started after a suggestion here last...

Help! I posted a photo a few days ago of the sparkling pool that resulted from the help from people on this site. today, I checked the pool after work and I saw green tint on the steps! I took my brush and brushed around and it was all over, very light, but there. I brushed the whole pool and...

Thanks Pooldv. I'll try that suggestion next.

I'm going to try and upload photos from photobucket with a PC. It didn't work with iPad. You can't tell that well because of the reflections but the pool was a slight tint of green and cloudy with sediment on the bottom that I assume was DE powder sediment. 20151228_123449_zpsgb7o6fgp.jpg...

Darn. Last time I looked it was $3.50 so I went to the bleach section and just bought 5 gallons of 8.25% at $2.94 each! arrrrrgh. I came home today to a green pool again. Twice this month. The pinch-a-penny was already closed so I ran to Walmart.

Little bugs are finally all gone.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I did forget that Lake Monroe in Sanford Fl has an annual period of knats that bite called no-see-ums. My new home is in Sanford Fl. What is a skimmer sock? By the very nature of the title, I'd figure it to be some type of fabric cover for the skimmer basket? - - - Updated - - - Not love bug...

Hard to believe it has been three weeks since I found this site. Time flies. I've been working a lot and no time for extras. Had the day off today and worked on the pool lights and got the illuminator working enough to have white light in the pool. I found a website with a troubleshooting guide...

Thanks everyone! I have a lot of reading to do. Hey KimKats - it will be the best on the block because it is the only pool on the block! Just kidding. It is the only one on the block but I want it to be correct for the family. I had a IG fiberglass pool and a self contained spa back in the late...

I use a private label Pinch-A-Penny Basic 5 Test Kit which has agents from Pool Master, Inc in it. I'll be using the store for a monthly test by their in-store tester. They had several test kits on the shelf but the clerk did not know the differences so I took the basic like I used years ago...

Hello all from sunny but cool Florida! The pool temp is 65 degrees even with the sunshine. I found this forum while searching the web for manuals for the pool equipment installed at our rental house pool system. I had a pool once before and knew enough to make sure the rental agreement pool...
