Our instructions say NOT to swim while the filter pump is running. We have the Intex metal-frame pool with the pump plugged into a GFCI outlet. Karen

Aw, shucks. :oops: Thanks! My husband is starting to joke that I've joined a "pool cult" since I spend so much time studying the site. Karen

Casey -- the water looks beautiful! Okay, I'll just bump the chlorine and just try to let the kids and the pump aerate the pool. :-D It's been cold the last few days, so they haven't gotten in much. I'm crossing my fingers for some sunshine. The pool temp is dropping, even with the cover on...
