So I took a look at some of the SJ and RJ options. It seems like the current best bang for my buck would be the RJ 45 but that really seems like overkill on my very small pool. Then next would be the SJ 35. Any one have any recommendations? My only concern is look through for available...

I have been considering a SWCG for a few years now and the chlorine shortage seems to make this a good time. I normally use liquid bleach regularly with tabs in my inline chlorinator when away for a few days. I do NOT have a variable speed pump nor automation. Currently, I have a timer with...

Planning to open the pool this weekend. Due to the current COVID-19 situation, I am trying to prevent needing to run out multiple times over the weekend/first few days to get more supplies with stores varying hours/closures and the big box stores (walmart) being way to packed at all times with...

Beware, some places will not let you bring it back. I would call to check. I have seen people bring it back to a store and the store refuses to take it back because its considered hazardous and they longer can be certain of the chemistry since it has been removed and opened.

60 degrees. Jumped in and jumped right back out. Had to cool off after some yard work.

I have already been in 3 times the last two weeks here in NJ. No heater.

Should I keep the levels as they are now or should I adjust them based on the current water temp to get them to a -0.6 CSI?

I have a Dolphin S-200. I am just worrying I am wasting my time and effort if the end result is still going to be an acid wash. Test Results last night were: FC-5 pH-7.2 TA-50 CH-300 CYA-40 Temp-45

I opened the pool this past weekend (water is crystal clear already) and have so far lowered the pH to 7.2, removed a lot of sediment (turns out that is all of the red in the pool), and been brushing a lot (everytime I brush more sediment gets suspended in the water). The plaster is still very...

I think d and b is opened on saturdays too. Another option for the liquid chlorine is Sahara pools on 22. Not as far out at ocean state. Not sure their price tho

I see you are out in Branchburg, NJ. I am nearby you. I usually get all of my liquid chlorine from Ocean State Job Lots out in Clinton on Route 31. $2.99 per gallon for 12.5% there. I just picked up a bunch on Tuesday with the 25% promotion they were running. Otherwise try DB pools in Raritan...

Has any body every thrown one of those bath bombs into a pool? We will be having a gender reveal party in April (typically we don't open by then because its still too cold) and were thinking about throwing a few bath bombs into the pool as the reveal. Would this mess with anything?

I am hesitant to open the pool so early as there are still nights with expected freezing temperatures in our area. Prior to getting the pool replastered I typically did not open it until basically the first weekend of May. I was opening to wait another 3-4 weeks at the earliest. Is that a bad...

Attach is a picture I just took of the second step where I wiped away what seems to be the dirt. I did it first with my hand which it was pretty rough but most of the dirt left but then I did it with a brush which took some of the roughness away but nowhere near a smooth as the top step which is...
