Hi all, It's been a while since I rolled through. I decided to check in on the supporter levels to see if anything has changed. As you can see, I was an original Lifetime member. Does that correlate to any of the new levels? Also, if I want to do one of the new support levels, does my...

I use it on an above ground pool, but I agree with zea, it needs to be on the return to the far right in the deep end if the flow is clockwise. Putting in on the last return in the shallow end just means that the other 3 returns are going to move the debris away from the poolskim before it has...

Your pH is too low. Shock levels of Cl give false high pH readings. If your FC is really 11.5 and your pH is really 6.8, your pH is way too low. Your TA is pretty much in range, but you need to raise your pH right away so I would use borax. Using borax would raise the TA some, but the...

Re: Poolskim review. Yes, I run my pump on low all the time and my pool skim works fine. It does, however, take longer to clear the surface but that is because the water is circulating slower.

Re: The end of Baquacil (?) perhaps coming soon... Another thought with regards to the chemicals you have on hand is how many are unopened and how long have you had them. If you just bought them this swim season, maybe the pool store will take them back for a store credit. Then you can use...

Ditto! I have had mine for 3 seasons, this is the start of the 4th. It was WELL WORTH the $100. I NEVER have to skim and I have a ton of trees.

What kind of warranty/guarantee did you get for the leak repairs that were originally done? Is there no way that one of the leaks previously fixed has started leaking again?

I got hit hard yesterday and we are getting hit hard again now. I definitely need to drain, but I am not going out in the rain to do it. (I've got a fresh hairdo to maintain....LOL) Hopefully I will get a chance after work today to drain, if it stops raining. If not, I will be out there...

"Original" scent is the same as unscented, so no worries there.

<off topic> Cramar, thanks for the chuckle. :lol: I couldn't help but laugh at the "straightforward" way you explained all of that!....LOL.

I have loads of maple trees that drop leaves, helicopters and other nasties. The poolskim is the BEST thing that has happened to me! I, too, love mine and am glad I found it. You're right, it is the BEST $100 I have spent for my pool!

Yes, very nice job! Is that a solar warmer in the corner? If so, does it work well?

I actually checked the links on my original post and realized I linked the residential Blue Diamond instead of the commercial one. I am not sure of the cost, but I would think that the commerical model would be sufficient if the stats are correct.

Would you recommend running it on high for shocking, too, or just what was previously mentioned?

Shoprite still has the 96oz jugs on sale 10 for $10 if you have one in your area.
