Has anyone seen/used this cover design? Do you know where I can get it in the U.S.? Any engineering minds know how it could be duplicated with a solar cover?? Pool cover Security Safety - YouTube I am looking for a durable nightly cover that is easy to take on and off for one person. The...

Hey there. Did you ever post pictures of this solution? Thanks.

Filter: Sta-rite System 3 Pump: IntelliPro VS+ SVRS Heater: Mastertemp 250 Chlorinator: IntelliChlor - IC40 My heater stopped firing on a few days back with a system error. After some troubleshooting I noticed it was due to the fact that it didn't think there was enough water flow through...

Results: Well, I clearly had less dead frogs *in the skimmer*. They were there. I would say I had less than 10 frogs in the skimmer and about half of them were dead. However, there were at least 20 in the pool. Again, half of those were dead. So the skimmer gives them an escape route, as I...

It's been rainy and humid in SE Michigan the past few days. Frogs multiplied significantly with the rain.

3 nights in a row, I've had 25-30 frogs in the skimmer. I just received and installed my Critter Skimmer... https://www.critterskimmer.com/ It will be interesting to see how many frogs I have tomorrow morning.

Received my new K2006 kit a couple days ago. Discovered my SWG pool has 25-30 CYA. It was recommended to me to raise that. So I bought some stabilizer in granular form. Instructions on the bottle: Broadcast into the pool, expect your filter to have high pressure for a few days, don't...

I had my first cloudy experience over the past two days, since first opening the pool nearly a year ago. What i discovered was low FC, and apparently low CYA, and slightly high pH. As stated in other posts, my K2006 test kit did not arrive until the event started. (I also realized I measured...

Actually, i didn't run the shock process until I determined that my FC was 2, with the new kit. Apparently my CC was zero.

Any recommendations for raising CYA? Will shocking the pool take care of the Cloudiness?

Thanks for your responses. I missed the whole 'little separate vile' thing. So I tested my CYA and it's 25-30 ppm. I tested twice to be sure. I have a vinyl pool with SWG. The timing of my installer just dropping by was perfect. In two days my pool has gone from crystal clear and me...

Hi- The instructions on my K2006 test kit don't seem to match up with the markings on my Test vile. I'm confused. Can someone straighten me out? It says to fill to the 7ml mark. There is a 4.5 and a 9 mark. 9 is the top mark. It says to add to the 14 mark. ????? Thanks for your help. -jay

The last two nights I have had 25-30 frogs in my pool. I just spent 20 minutes fishing them out, then ordered the Critter saver thingy for my skimmer off amazon. Here is my concern after reading a bit about this. Most posts I read state the Frogs "live" in the pool. I have a number of dead...

Yes the k2006. Interesting point. For my 22,000 gallon pool, the Acid demand test recommended 3.x lbs of dry acid. (I think my pH was about 8.0) The side of the acid container recommends 1/2 that amount. I went with the test kit. Since last year I couldn't get the pH down according to lesser...

Funniest thing... I was just out on the pool calculator site, and my installer pulls into my driveway to bring me a brand new Taylor test kit. I guess I'm good to go now. lol.
