I just use a simple noodle. When I am in my pool I want to be in the water

Yes. 4 to a box

I'm a Yankee transplanted in Tulsa. Great place. Atwoods is the place to get liquid chlorine though there isn't one in Tulsa itself, have to go to one of the suburbs. I buy 3-4 cases at a time as my pool uses about a gallon a day. It's well worth the drive.

Best I can find is Walmart 10% @$3.64/gal but date stamped 18 352. Ugh

or in Tulsa?

Dug out the leaves, got the pump running, ran the robot a few times, gave it a good brushing. CYA was low so I threw some leftover shock in the pool, brought CL level to SLAM level. Pool is clearing up nicely, should be ready for swimming soon, once it warms up a bit

It looks a lot smaller than 30X60, maybe 30x18?

I haven't "shocked" my pool in the past two years since starting the methods promoted here

I'm surprised his CYA was so low if he was previously "shocking" the pool as instructed by the pool store. - - - Updated - - -

Consider your priorities. If it is to have a swim lane, I would widen the pool, say to the edge of the existing column, pull the spa back by two feet and shorten it, or get rid of the spa. Will result in a smaller spa but provide the swim lanes. Possibly also consider a stand-alone spa

I sent you a PM with contact information on the person I used, might be the same person you got the quote from since I noticed they no longer have a website.

Do you know who built your pool? I had mine redone a few years ago (tile, coping, new plaster, bonding, drainage) by the son of a local builder. He did a good job but was slow since it was a side job. The problem is that it is difficult to get contractors interested in "smaller" rebuild jobs...

That's 198 cubic feet of water or 1,652 gallons

Can't see any pictures

Took first swim of season. Water at 84 degrees. Very refreshing

Worth is decided by the individual. My kids used the pool a lot when they were younger. They are grown now but the grandkids have taken over. Personally, once the weather heats up, I'm usually in it every evening. To me it's worth it.

Watched the first swim of the season for the grandkids. Still a bit too cold for me.

My local Atwoods has yet to stock fresh pool shock. Wonder if they are phasing it out?

I fought this issue myself the past few years (replaced gasket, valve continued to leak, replace gasket again, etc.) and ultimately replaced the top assembly. With the new assembly though, I realized the cause of my problem was the old spring, which wasn't raising the face enough and would tug...

It's a 50 Hz pump. Does this matter?

With 21 C water, watch for adults that never get in the pool!

Yesterday, took what I believe will be the last swim of the year. Water temperature at 82 F but cool weather forecast for the next week. I'm sure by next weekend the water will be too cold for me to swim in. Summer is fading

And to add to what Kim said, my grandkids, ages 4-10 can spend all day doing cannonballs off the diving board. When we have kiddie swim parties, the line for the diving board can be 10 kids deep. Keep the deep end, kids like to jump into the pool.

A Spa will be expensive to add (there are other threads that address this). Would be cheaper to add a stand alone one.

I have the same issue with contractors, who think because I live in a certain part of town, I must be rich.

I had similar surgery last November (after closing the pool), had bunion removed, joint replaced, broken bone from my childhood some 50 years ago repaired (at the time I didn't tell my parents about it for 3 weeks. By then the doctor said it was already healing on it's own). Had the same...

Vacuumed pool yesterday, but it's been a busy couple of weeks with the pool. Had an issue with the pool losing water level and discovered a crack in the body of the 5-way valve on top of the filter (not sure how this happened). So ordered a new valve and decided to run pump only 1/2 hour per...

I had my pool redone last year. $45/ft for white plaster

I'm not an expert, but the prices above don't seem outrageous. I redid my pool last year (125 feet) with new tile, coping and white plaster plus deck drains, light and other miscellaneous stuff for just over $13 K. Don't have a feel for Pebbletec/PebbleSheen but I understand it's more...

I went with white plaster when I had my pool resurfaced last year. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I too just like the look of plain white plaster.
