I sent you a PM about this.

Our pool is an older steel (don't know how old, we bought it used, maybe 10 years) Doughboy. I usually do get in to clean it, but with the weather turning cooler, I am not getting in to vacuum before we close. The fence around the perimeter makes it so I have to hold the pole above my head to...

We have a 28' round pool. The deck only covers about 1/3 of the pool. We have a plastic fence surrounding the rest of the pool. As you can imagine, it's a little tricky to vacuum the pool from the outside. Are you supposed to stand on the sidewalls of an AGP? My husband has a fit every time...

We have a deck on part of the pool with the same problem, the cover can't get underneath. So we use bungee cords to tie the cover onto the fence around the pool, then simply bungee the part over the deck to the far end of the deck and place our two deck boxes on top of the cover. There is...

Yeah, it always seems like I have to clean for an hour before we can enjoy the pool. And with 2 little ones it's hard to keep them out when they are ready to swim. PS I grew up in Tinley! My parent still live there!

Thanks. I am seriously looking at getting one of these next year. I am just tired of manual vacuuming every day!

Can you use a Pool Rover with a solar cover on?

Thanks everyone! The trip was great and I returned home to a sparkling clean pool, except for what I have come to realize is dirt at the bottom of the pool. But the FC was at about 8, after having a friend dump some bleach in for me on Monday night. I'm wondering now if we don't have a...

Well, I grew up on the south side so it was definitely the Sox. But since moving to MN when I got married 12 years ago, I tend to lean more towards the Twins :-D No, I guess now that I think about it we never have any algae on the walls. I shocked the pool again last night to 30 and will bring...

Good Morning! I checked the water last night, and I did shock it to 27. This morning it was down to 25. So something is still in there. I brought the level back up to 30 this morning with my last 2 jugs of bleach, off to the store to get more. I will also pull back the solar cover at noon to...

One more thing I forgot to mention. I am planning on shocking tonight, tomorrow and tomorrow night but I am going out of town for 5 days on Sat. morning. Will this be long enough to kill the pesky stuff?

Of coarse on a day I really would like to use the computer, a huge storm had to come through and knock the power out for a few hours... I just went and checked the pool and FC is down to 11.5ppm. Granted it rained to beat heck here for a while, but that seems like a huge drop in FC. I added...

OK, I am going to take it up to 25. I did shock it to those levels this spring when we opened, but the levels never held overnight then either. I just gave up the fight and let the kids swim. I'm wondering thought if it's still OK to swim at that level. My 4 year old may go through...

Hello everyone. I have been a lurker here and over at PF for a few years. Never really had a problem, but I come here often to learn. Right now I think I am battling mustard algae and I don't know how to beat it. I have tried several times to get rid of it to no avail. I believe I had...
