    Solid or Mesh Pool Cover

    As listed below, I have a 20' x 40' in-ground pool and need to buy a cover. What are the benefits or problems with both a solid cover and a mesh cover? Thanks in advance

    Thanks to all who helped clear our pool. Here are the latest test results: pH - 7.8 FC - 4.0 CC - 0 TA - 140 CH - 160 CYA - 45 Seems like pH is high, while FC, CH is low. How can I fix this?

    Just a pure estimate as it fell in between 60 and 70 and it was closer to 70 but didn't look like half. So technically it could be 66,67, or 68.

    Taylor K2006 FAS-DPD chlorine kit is what I'm using and it says to keep adding drops to the smaller test tube until you can't see a black dot on the bottom. Does that mean until you cannot even see the outline or until it is totally out of sight? I'll test it again right now

    Well the brushes, upon closer inspection, are about done. I may try the handle, but it looks like a new one will fit the bill better because I can do some things but not real confident in replacing a motor. I'll research the Dolphin brand as that's what I did with this one and it has been great...

    Thank you. I noticed you have a Tiger Shark. I have a Tiger Sharl QC that is 8 years old. The handle broke and it stopped running at the end of last year. While it was working I loved it. Do you think it would be worth trying to repair or would it be better to just by a new one?

    Thanks. Another question...are you allowed to swim during the SLAMing process? I have a 10 year-old autistic daughter who loves to swim usually 3 hours at a time so getting it "swim ready" as possible is a high priority.
