What are your guys opinions on protective pads under the ladder and wedding cake steps? Are they worthwhile? Thanks, Mark.

Is shocking necessary if I maintain the clorine in the recommended range? Pool store man told me I need to shock at least once a week to actually kill the bacteria. My pool is crystal clear but now I wondering if it is full of bacteria? Thanks for your comments. Mark.

I actually pour in the bleach while in the pool. Just be careful not to pour on yourself. I walk around the pool slowly pouring and mixing with my other hand. This may be crazy but it has worked so far.

Just installed AGP a couple of weeks ago. The deck should be completed this week. I need some advice on pool covers for when I close the pool. My deck will be completely around the pool. I was wondering how I was going to hold the cover down. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Any recommendations for steps for APG? I'm thinking about the wedding cake style steps with the suctions cups on the bottom to hold them down. Do these cups actually work?

Thanks for the advice. My problem is that I will not be able to vacuum pool until I get home (10 hrs). Will the CYA damage my liner in the meantime?

I added granular CYA to my skimmer yesterday and I noticed this morning that some of it has gotten by the sand filter and is sitting on bottom of pool. Will this harm my liner? Also, shouldn't the sand filter caught all of the CYA?

I recently installed an AGP on my sloped back yard. I built a 2 ft. retaining wall out of railroad timbers and backfilled with dense grade aggregage to sit pool on. After doing this, I still had to dig down approx. 2 ft. next to my house (within 4 feet of house) to level area for pool. Pool is...

I'm afraid with my chlorine levels dropping so low at the end of each day (hot a sunny here almost every day) that algae may start to develop. I just installed my pool last week and I am new to pool care and I am a little nervous. I have a bottle of polyquat 60 that the pool man gave me when I...

Water looks great. Crystal clear. I just added 2 trichlor tabs in the skimmer basket, 3 lbs. of baking soda and about 4 ozs. of polyquat 60 algaecide.

I have a 21,000 AGP. Using the Taylor K-2006 testing kit, my tests results are as follows: FC= 0.5 CC= 0.0 TA=60 PH=7.7 CH=50 CYA= doesn't register yet, I added 3 lbs. of granular stabilizer last week and have used 3 tablets of tri-clor. My question is, should I raise the TA up a little...

Thanks for the quick response. I have a pole brush I can mix with. Do I need to add the polyquat now?

I'm a first time pool owner. Just got 30' AGP installed yesterday. Starting filling with waterhoses using city water. My problem is that my pool holds 22,000 gal. of water and I have been filling with hoses for 24hrs now and water depth in pool is only 1 ft. Looks like it will take 4 days...
