Thanks for the feedback Geebot!

Thanks for the info - it may not be an option for this calendar year but will consider for the future options to achieve FC.

Thanks for the reply Texas Splash. How does a SWG work with a fresh water pool? I know nothing about SWG. Correct - I do not have a SWG.

Thanks for the reply and the good advice. Yes - nothing better than pulling the cover in the spring and having clear water...makes it so much easier! I think a SLAM is on the fall schedule now.

Greetings all - I am contemplating keeping my pool closed for the upcoming pool season and would love to hear feedback regarding possible issues that I may encounter by keeping it closed for an extended period. I am in the mid-west and my pool season runs from April/May to roughly October. Due...

Thanks for the reply and clarification. Now it makes sense to me. Yes - it will take awhile to dissolve and I will likely take your advice and just use powder. By the way - I love the the pool math calculator on this site and even have the app on my phone and am learning to use it...many...

I need to raise my CYA 18ppm to reach my target of 40ppm. I would like to use the pucks that I have I storage to do this now that I use only liquid chlorine. My question is - how many pucks will I need to reach my goal? With pucks weighting about 6 ounces (or is it 8 ounces) with 10ppm of FC...

You're welcome. I am sure someone will come along and post what you are looking for. Good luck with the replacement...just replaced mine a few years ago... demo of 40 metric tons of concrete decking and replaced with about 8,500 brick pavers and used white travertine as the new coping...worked...

Funny thread. Option #1 - blame it on your homeowners insurance and your new policy...huge liability with non residents and their children swimming on your property - they are not an insured liability....maybe the neighbor would kick in $200 or so for added liability coverage. Option #2 -...

Greetings and welcome - have you tried: Inground Pool Liners - Latham Pool Products It looks like they have images for above and inground...hope this helps.

That is an excellent idea - simple and effective! I do notice in drought conditions - which has been little to none this year - that every bird within 10 miles flocks to my lawn sprinklers when watering the lawn...kind of funny to see several bird species all using a common communal water source.

Greetings from Columbus - 36 miles east of you. I have had about 3" of rain lately - and about the only change in the water was that it pushed the PH down slightly - which was needed - other than that - not much changed.

- numerous frogs - a few birds - opossum - numerous moles - a few mice - a few rabbits I live in a suburban setting - so thankfully nothing larger than the above victim list. I have a large squirrel and chipmunk population - but no squirrel or chipmunk fatalities that I recall. I do notice...

Current water temp is 82 degrees with the air temp at 92 degrees.
