    Algae or Stain

    I passed the OCLT this morning. 👍🏻 I tried the Vitamin C pills in a sock. It worked as you said. So I guess it is Iron. I still don’t understand why now.

    New AGP

    Hello all, So my 6 year old Intex finally decided it had had enough. So we decided to purchase a 18x52 steel walled pool. I have the build site leveled and ready to go. Problem is we have had recorded setting rain totals in NE Texas this year. Of course it rained this week preventing me from...
