I would say not exactly. My dog is o.k. as long as she is moving and keeping her butt up. When her butt starts to fall, and her body gets verticle, she looses speed and then would probably drown if I didn't lift her up and get her horizontal again. I'm hoping she gets better with a little...

My little white poodle mix played in the pool with us today. Is this considered o.k., or unsanitary? Will the chlorine harm her skin? She doesn't shed so we don't have to worry about her fur clogging pumps or filters....

:hammer: :oops:

I think we are saying the same thing.... If my kit has an upper limit of 5, the only way I can measure FC higher than that is to dilute the pool water and then do the math. If I diluted, and didn't measure anything because I was actually <3, then I would know to re-test using straight pool...

Sorry, newbie here. I think I got the basic understanding after reading this. But, we just got the hot tub working at my house. The bromine floater is wide open, but I'm not measuring any bromine yet. The spa repair man put a couple onces of non-chlorine shock in there and said it was o.k...

My 13 yo son had hands that prune like crazy when he uses the pool, to the point of being painful. He prunes more than everyone else, but we all do. How do I measure the salt level in the pool? If I bring it up to 1500 or 2000ppm will I harm my pool equipment, and will it help with the...

I just tested my pool using the DPD Complete kit from Leslie (http://www.lesliespool.com/Home/Pool-Ch ... 81330.html). CYA - 30 TA - 100 pH - 7.4 FC and TC - 9 CH - 200-250 (hard time deciding when it turned blue). Because the FC test only goes to 5, and I knew I was above that, I did one part...

I did not notice the scale when I used the pool. The bottom of the pool is actually quite nice and seems to be in good condition. I don't know how old that pic is. I will try to remember to take new pictures when I'm at the house today (we are moving in about 3 weeks from the current house to...

I don't know exactly. It is a thick, fabric type material that is powered electrically. It seems to be very good at insulating and keeping the humidity down.

Here is a picture of our pool from the real estate web site. We don't have all the toys and furniture yet that they have in the pic. We took it from 58 degrees up to 86. I wonder what our bill is going to be from the gas company.... :hammer:

It is below freezing outside, and the pool room is not heated. The room is probably around 60. When the pool (at 86 degrees) is uncovered, there is enough steam that comes up that all the windows get fogged pretty quickly. If I didn't cover it, I think the pool room would become a mold...

It is an indoor pool, that is kept covered unless we are using it. So no sun exposure to burn off the chlorine.

Thanks. I checked the chemicals with strips, and took a sample to Leslie pools, so I'm pretty sure the CYA is accurate. I bet the pool was recently filled. I read everything in the pool school section, but didn't find anything on potential negative effects of neutralizer. I've been trying to...

We just bought a house with a 17,000 gallon indoor pool. It has not been lived in for a while. Found the skimmer with three chlorine pucks in it, and was told to keep that going. Got a test kit, and the chlorine level is off the chart (over 10ppm). There has not been any chlorine added now...
