I'm going to take a stab at this and say it looks like scaling. I can't help you but wanted to see if I was right. These guys should be able to help you out with this regardless though, keep at it. :)

So what your saying is that this is a bad idea. :lol: :lol: :lol: (I'm sure most of us have seen this but a shake my head every time I see it)

I think ,most would tell you to leave the nature 2 out (could off load it on craigslist). You could probably use the tablets for the remainder of season since you're in Illinois and will likely close before CYA would be an issue. Of course that depends on if the tablets you have are stabilized...

That put a smile on my face, thanks!

May explain where the CYA went........if she backwashed through the week.

Re: I just recieved a FIBERGLASS POOL Quote...Can you Help? Just to be clear, there was a link on your other thread to a bunch of different stair styles. I wasn't sure you noticed the color choices at the top of that link. Is it the white that bothers you or just the over all stair style...

I'll see your curvy wall and raise you an unlevel one. I can thank the previous home owner for this. Some people should not do ANY DIY. :hammer: And to top it off, the liner is so wrinkled, it collects dirt and stuff. Will be glad when the liner fails and I can re-set the pool.

You should hit it tonight. The pool calculator says 3 gallons of 12% will get your pool to a shock level of 20 (for a CYA of 50). I would say something used up all that chlorine in 6.5 hours and it probably wasn't the sun with your CYA at 50-55.

So you want one of these... http://www.intexstore.com/ProductDetail ... parts=list You'll notice they're out of stock :rant: which is what I discovered not two weeks ago when my Intex hose decided to start leaking. Since you can't order one, I made on out of ABS. I used a 1.5" FPT-1.5" Slip...

The builder putting the inground in next door to us has encased the flex pvc in the concrete footer as well as back filled with the clay from the hole (and let me tell you about the concrete style clay we have around here....). Some stone on top with a tamper and they'll be pouring the deck in...

On one of the build threads, I believe from Texas, the installer used an intex style pool to start running the hose when they first put the shovels in the ground. The result was that by the time they had the pool installed, they had this temp pool already full of water and just pumped the water...

Pool to shock level a couple hours/night before closing (no Algaecide). Vacuum to waste. I drain the pool down with the vacuum still attached, about 3" below return. I need to remember to remove the skimmer basket next year so I don't have to re-set due to sucking air. :-D I leave the drain...

Just some random shots of a very happy 3 year old in 'her' pool, complete with 'ghetto' slide shots. My wife managed to get what I think is an incredible shot of Nicole between the top rail and the solar cover, but then I'm slightly biased. :-D Clickable thumbnails:

Hmmmmm, Very sparkly! I like! Congrats on the conversion FINALLY! You have shown great POP, give yourself a pat on the back from all of us!

Ah, Sarnia is a little to far for stop in to give you a hand. I'm just outside of Windsor. Sent you a PM as well.

wes, How far SW Ontario are you???

General related question. It PH 8.2 enough to have copper precipitate out of suspension or does it need to be higher? After reading a couple posts about copper(most/all algaecides), it certainly seems like the PH may have caused your problems. It also would stand to reason that the previous...

You can also order individual tests if you wanted to try it out first. Lots of options. The full kit is still the best bang for the buck though. I've gotten two seasons out of my kit (june-september) and could probably get through half of next but I'll probably order refills in the spring...

My intex runs for anywhere from 2-3 hours in a 7500 gallon pool. Just wrapping up my second season with it, problem free to this point (knock on wood). Mike is right, frequent power flickers would drive you nuts remembering to re-program.

Just to make sure, you have scrubed the solar cover during treatments (most of us 'assume' you have)? You mentioned the ladder etc. but not the solar cover.

::epds:: Just a quick note to let you know we're all still watching......

I'm not sure putting the deck move on youtube, or the net at all would be a good idea considering the 'legality' of moving something 10' wide down the road without the proper permits. Just saying.......

Maybe take the steps out and clean those off real well if you haven't already?!?!

My local home hardware has liquid chlorine, though i don't know the %.

Homer says it best: (that really sucks though :( )
