We were at the end of an afternoon pool party for the kids when we got buzzed by what I think is a large hornet. It was VERY aggressive flying right up into people's faces. Terrified the kids. I trapped it under the leaf net and drowned it while the kids got out of the pool. This is the...

So over the course of the weekend the pool became somewhat cloudy. Could still see the bottom but I had the feeling I was looking through glass that was not clear. So I did the OCLT: Sunday 9PM: FC 9.5 CC 0.5 Monday 6AM FC 8.0 CC 0.5 So since my CYA level is between 60-70, I brought my FC...

My husband mentioned last night that the bottom of the pool seemed a bit "cloudy". I think he is right, there is a milkiness to the water so that when I look at the bottom of the ladder it just seems a bit foggy. We've had the pool about 2.5 weeks. No problems until now. My numbers as of...

Many thanks are due! All of you have made the first two weeks of owning a pool so simple and easy! Our pool is crystal clear. And curse all of you! The pool is so clear when the kids get out I spot the tiniest leaf or smallest speck of dust that I missed when I vacuumed earlier! I told my...

So when we purchased our sandpro pump and filter, at the pool store of course :roll: , the pool guy told us that when we winterize the pool we should dump the sand in the filter and start with fresh sand next spring. I did not even question it since sand is so cheap, but now I read that some...

Totally missed this section of the board! So to intro myself...I live in sunny, hot Albuquerque NM. My husband and I have just put up our first pool: sharkline 12'x17'x52" opera. The liner goes in tomorrow, crossing our fingers that everything goes smoothly! We also just made the decision to...

I was at Lowe's yesterday and couldn't find any MA in the pool area. I did find something else that said it replaced MA, active ingredient is Sodium Bisulfate? Is that an acceptable alternative? Pros/cons? And where does lowe's store there MA?
