I know I said I was a-gunna clean it but just hadn't been able to get it started. Well, I've finally getting around to cleaning my green water pool/frog pond. :rant: I was reading the section on this site from the pool school. It said to check hourly and add chlorine as needed to maintain...

I'm buying my 1st winter pool cover. I have it selected but the pillows and whatever are separate. I have a 16' x 32' rectangular in ground. How many pillows, anything else?, do I need to do this right? Thanks. :)

My pool turned into a frog pond here lately. (hurricanes, pump quit, ad infinitum, ad nauseam :rant: ) and I want to clean it up before covering it for winter. That means ph up, down, up, down,-- I have to drive 20+ miles to get to the store for the acid so I want to be sure to get enough to...

Hurricanes, :shock: power out, :x broken pump, :rant: J-factor, :hammer: all = okeefenokee swamp. Frogs is good anyway. That means no snakes :roll: ...Halp!? I know there's other similar topics, probably in plenty but I haven't checked in recently. Too, I wanted some advice with my...

Yes, I read the other topic. Being in NE Texas, I'm not directly in Gustav's path but, well may get a lot of rain. (like maybe a foot or more?) And I have other qualifiers that negate much of the advice given on that other topic. I don't have a pool cover. My pump just quit today. Now what...

Sorry if this is the wrong forum. We have long put off getting a pool cover and have decided we can't any longer. I no it's early but we have to factor the cost into the budget and need to plan, if not purchase, now. I need suggestions for source and price range (I realize $$ is a variable...

Howdy all. I'm new to the BBB system. It's been raining for several days and the pool has been neglected for about a week :oops: But it's supposed to break tomorrow and we'll be hitting the pool and cleaning and adjusting it. Annddd I just got a brand spanking new T-100 test kit. :-D There...

I'm brand new here. I began looking to the simpler solutions to pool care, ie not through the pool store, and picked up what sounded like a good idea. I think I'd best check here and see if it is first. I have (and it should be in the signature) a 24000 gal IG pool and use a cartridge filter...

Howdy all. I've been doing the pool store Yoyo chemical go round and I want off. That's why I'm here. New excuse me please while I go visit the 'pool school.' :wave:
