I have a 32x16' in-ground pool and I have been looking for solution to the problem of covering the pool singlehandedly without getting a good amount of water on the cover. Before I commit to creating something from pool noodles & PVC pipes (along the lines of DIY Solar pool cover towing boom...

I bought only regular bleach: no splashless because I had a bad experience with a bottle in our washer.

I've used Taylor's K-2006 kit for about a year and a half to measure the chemistry in our indoor pool taking care to store the kit away from direct sunlight. Recently, the kit required a massive adjustment to ph (10 drops of acid demand), following a temperature increase by about 15F. I followed...

After reading the advice here, I attempted switching to bleach as a shocking agent for my 19,000 gal indoor gunite pool which uses bromine for sanitation. I used http://www.thepoolcalculator.com/ with TFP suggestions and 15 FC goal from a base of 0 (I'd used Oxone-based shocks before so there...
