New here myself Liberty Square. Ages ago I resided in Newton NJ, or northwest Jersey. Beautiful country thereabouts, particularly on the PA side. Anyway these folks make a person feel very welcome, and are, ahem, swimming in pool related answers. Best wishes...

Yes jb, green stuff grows on walls. I find that with the powdered chlorine if I see a green spot developing I can pour chlorine on it or next to it. When we just drained the pool there was a considerable amount of algae and we cleaned it off with muriatic. The pool gets drained maybe every 3...

The stairs were something else. Each step contains a metal bar box beam. The spiral had to start at the bottom of the pool, turn to meet the lower bridge, then continue up to the 3rd floor to meet the upper level bridge. All this while the steps continue to turn around the post and raise higher...

Re: Hi... Thanks! Ya got me though, I thought I'd posted the above pics to the wrong thread. :d Felt embarrassed because I'm a mod somewhere else. :doh: Feel better now...

Thanks jblizzle! I posted a few places, hope I can find it. :) I had a lot of help. I tell the guys what I want and how I think it could be done and they refine it using their skills. Here's the build... The round part that's out over the ocean. Some of the floor spans vacant space...

Re: Hi... Thanks for the nice welcome Patrick. I ordered off amazon 'Aquacheck Select' test strips which used to come with a color match chart in each vial. Pretty basic... Nice thing is there's lots of water here and we can drain and replace fairly quickly. We do this about every 3 months...

You can take the hottest red chilis you can find, mash them and mix with water, set in glass jars in the sun for a few days then using a garden sprayer hose off the places the birds like to hang out. This worked for us, birds came back a year later and we're getting ready to do it again. Birds...

Hi... Built a pool and am doing okay with it, but want to do better. Currently have algae issues. We drained it a few days ago and washed it with muriatic. Likely fill it again soon, might have a pump issue and we'll find out then. The impeller gets filled with seeds from coconut trees and the...

Here on the island of Bohol one can't just run out to a pool store or walmart. I get powdered Chinese chlorine that I worry about, but people use it for drinking water so... That and muriatic is available. I can get stuff off amazon, have it shipped to family in Oregon and transshipped here, but...

Nice, that water is crystal clear.
