    MoCity Pool Build (formerly Pool dig / depth questions)

    Absolutely beautiful!!!! I see that you've had quite a time with your build, but it all seems worth it now, doesn't it? We've had our pool for a year and I still sigh with pleasure when I look out my back door. It really does create an oasis in your yard---your own little piece of heaven...

    Starting our pool -- Any comments on design

    You do have a lovely yard and I envy you your gazebo. We had the same problem with our grass and our golden retriever! I have 2 boys, ages 14 and 16, who both love to dive and jump off of our board. We went with an 8 ft depth for that reason. I don't know about heating costs, but I urge you to...

    This is Gracie, my lab-beagle mix(we think) at about 8wks. She was a rescue. She doesn't like the water, as it turns out! Gracie now, about 4 1/2 mos. Incredibly crazy, funny, and sweet. Here's Yoda. He was found at about 5wks of age. His head was enormous, his chin very pointed and his...

    Need help with green algae and possible tannin stains

    I have mottled green stains on the sides of my pool that began cropping up a couple of days ago. I added bleach and have had my FC running between 26-30 for 24 hrs. My CYA is 60. I know that needs to be a little higher. My problem is that the green stuff is REALLY tough to brush off. I'm...
