What is everyone's preferred method to get deck boards to the pool. Are you going below and tuck below top piece of the pool? Are you going flush with top piece? Are you going above the top piece? What are counter measures for winter cover tucking around the deck boards? What is ideal ladder to...

Thank you all. I have been reading up on closing instructions. I bought a expensive kit on Amazon but may return. But plan to follow the forums instructions getting the pool fc level to slam level then cover. Yes I read to make sure water temp gets blow 65 or 60 before close. I will keep...

Update. Had to go back to work yesterday. Wife did not feel comfortable testing. Had her add 30oz chrolene every 2 hours. Came home to 13 fc. Added chrolene to slam level 16. Skimmer socks very light with yellow debree. Pool very clear. Today wife reports socks have little to no yellow...

I get the test. I was just wondering if I should note when I see the drastic change to clear record there or it seems 1 to 2 drops more go more clear maybe. My test kit is old. My powder I'm using is chunky. Stains in my chrolene only glass. Once I get pool right and then covered in winterize...

Another update. 4th day pump running non stop. Verify gauge works like it should pump pressure. Fc around 12 to 13. I say around noticeably see water being tested go to clear but shade of red still in. Added chrolene. Skimmer sock still yellowish material. Vaccum pool. Little brown dirt...

Last check for today. Another fc around 12 to 13. Added chrolene. Changed sock. Same yellow to green is material. Pool slightly cloudy. I was always able to see bottom but trying to use ladder as a visual gauge. Seems better. Every 2 to 3 hours losing 3 to 4ppm. Is that normal? Pool is in...

Also replaced sock again still yellow stuff.

Update. Next 2 hours 3 to 5pm Lost 3ppm fc Added chrolene. Dumb question. If I'm losing fc is due to fighting algae and sun.? At night no sun. Algae present eats away at chrolene or uses chrolene?

Update. Didn't get to do the loss test. Back wash this morning due to heavy rain last night. Got water level below top of skimmer Changed sock yellow tint. My fc was at 16 early morning. I couldn't get back to pool for 5 hours. Found the fc drop to 12. Added chrolene. Check again 2...

I will do loss test tonight. And report out Sunday results.

Thank you raised fc to 6 this morning. Adding liquid chrolene. For my 24" 4 foot water level i added105 ounces. I use 17 z water battle at 15 oz fill level. Bottom of pool was kinda bad. Vaccum pool with filter. Changed sock pretty yellow greenish running all night. Changed sock again after...

Cya 40 Fc 2.5 Cc 0 Tc 2.5 Added 1 drop to get cc go clear. Maybe cc .5 and tc 3 Ph between 7.2 and 7.5 Ch 200 ppm Ta 100 Pool looks little cloudy but not much. Vaccum algae again on filter. Plan to run pump all night. Based on results what's my next step? Thank you

I believe I'm fighting dead algae never had this issue before. Sand looking brown in random spots of pool floor. What chemical test results should I post for guidance? Chrolene and ph levels stay 3ppm and 7.5 every day and we use liquid chrolene. Tested cya last night lower than 20 so I added...

Any tips or advice on a small deck. Thank you
