We are a family of 5, also (3 kids). We ended up with an 18x40. I thought it would be too big, but my husband sold me on it and I'm glad we got that size and not a bit smaller. My husband can swim laps back and forth and there's tons of room for the kids and the rafts, toys, etc. Here's a pic...

I'm wondering if it's normal for the workers to only work 5-6 hrs on the site? We have some frustrations, over all, with the company, but I wanted to see if this was normal. His worker is only here from 8:30/9-2:45. The first 2 days, he was here at 7:30 am. He left still around 3, but at least...

Thank you!

Based on the extensive reading I've done on here and google, I: - Clean & brush pool - I've been doing TFP, so I bring water to shock level & maintain for 24 hrs, running pump - Remove ladder - Drain water 6" below skimmer - Heater: drain it and blow out remaining water w/ shop vac, remove...

Thanks!

I just redid it...I misunderstood one of the steps (I didn't multiply by the ppm #). It's 11 ppm.

Maybe I did something wrong with the FC test...I wasn't sure what to choose when it says to use 25 mL or 10 mL...What water level am I supposed to use? I did 10 mL...

I just got my Taylor 2006 test in yesterday. I've done as much reading as I can on here and in Pool School. New pool owner. Installed last Sat. Water was filled with 2.5 loads from a water delivery truck and about 8 hrs worth of water from our well, that has the faucet connected to an iron...

Now that our pool is installed, I have to start the fun process of putting back the dirt (I think that's called back fill?) and landscaping around the AG pool. I've done some googling to get ideas but I'm trying to figure out what is the best to put down around pool: mulch or pea gravel...

I'm a brand new pool owner. I've tried to google the answer but haven't found anything to answer. When should I run my heater so it's warm water to swim in during day? If it's over night, can I have it running with the solar cover on? Siggy shows my heater: 200,000 BTU Natural Gas (Hayward)...

So I tested my water this morning with a chemistry kit I bought at Home Depot until my TF-100 comes and the FC, PH, and CYA are fine. All I did was put in 2 gallons of liquid bleach yesterday. The FC was very high yesterday, of course, but this morning it was normal. Seems like that was too...

Oh, also, can my kids swim right after I've distributed the chemicals and have a reading at what it should be? I have to use the test strips for now until the kit comes. Or do I need to wait so many days until I see the readings are consistently good?

A small portion was used from our well (like 8 hrs worth of water from it) but I think whoever built our house (it's newish), has it hooked up through our water softener b/c I heard it running when the water faucet was on outside. If so, that means it went through our iron filter for the...

Hello, We just got a pool installed and I am clueless on what to do. We do have a spa, so I'm assuming it's a bit similar as far as chemical upkeep...I have spent time reading through the Pool School information. I did order the FAS-DPD test kit, but what I'm not sure about is am I supposed...
