[kimkats]

Better to wait a extra day than stop too soon and have to start over.

[Earl Cox]

Very true kim

 

[Earl Cox]

Woke up this morning to some sparkling blue water Woohoo SLAM complete successfully
I can see the entire bottom of the pool standing from one end

 

[Earl Cox]

Enjoying a beautiful day with the kids they are so ready

[kimkats]

Hey now you don't want her to get an identity crisis! Just think of the cost of counseling!!

Earl I am SO glad we were able to help you get it clear. Are you all set on how to KEEP it clear? I am going to link you to a Pool schedule just in case you have not seen it yet.

Pool School - Basic Pool Care Schedule

Give the kids a hug for me!

Getting the debris's from the pool bottom the water looks amazing. Still dropping to normal FC level in order to check my PH, TA and CH levels.

 

[Earl Cox]

Is is this normal the black rings around the skimmer

 

[duraleigh]

You Know, I am going to say it is normal. It seems like there is ALWAYS something that stains my skimmers one color or another and I can never quite get rid of it. Yours could be a number of things but as long as your FC is correctly kept, it's no worries.

 

[domct203]

The inside of my skimmer looks the same, I agree, normal.

[aboykin2269]

Mine too. But the water sure does sparkle!

 

[YippeeSkippy]

Mine actually looks more like discolored but not a black ring... like the sun has baked it entirely into a dark yellow around the weir door.

I've scrubbed with a brush and no diff.... I'm pretty sure an abrasive would take it down but ..why? <shrug>

 

[PAGirl]

A magic eraser might do the trick. Then you can see if it comes back.

 

[Earl Cox]

Since I'm not the only one noticed that it might be a normal thing

 

[kimkats]

Earl guess what?????? Your pool is not done showing her good side! With more time and bleach it can get even clearer! There was one time I looked out and thought my water was gone! It was that clear!

I can't wait for your water to be that clear!
