LOL! Yes, #7 snuck in on us in November. So now that brings us to 6 girls and 1 boy, Lord help him!! LOL!

I swear last year I ordered a complete refill kit for my TFP test kit. I am not finding it on the website now. Is that still an option instead of ordering refills of each thing individually? I only need fresh chemicals...I am out of CYA testing reagent and usually just order completely new...

Liner was put in originally in Sept. 07. We are having temps in the upper 70-lower 80's. Will this pose a problem as it was over a year ago?

We are having our liner fixed. PB agreed to fix it at no cost to us except refill water, which we are fine with. We had to move field lines to put in pool. Old field lines were left running right into overdig. When it rained the rainwater went right to the gravel beds and to the liner. We...

The pump is a single speed, not variable. I just went out and got this info from the filter... Hayward Pro Series 300 lb sand filter. Model #S244T. It says: Filtration rate GPM/FT2- 20, Filtration and Backwash design flowrate 62 GPM. The pump is a 1HP pump The SWG is a Goldline Aquarite...

My siggy is only 4 lines of text, not 5. We have not trees in our yard or immediate area. Pool is in full sun most of the day. I really think the bill only went up about $250 from our normal. We only had one bill like that and it was year before last. Last year my max was $638. We also are...

This will be out 3rd full summer with the pool. Previously we have been running the pump 24/7. I want to avoid the $750 electric bill we had. We have a heat pump, SWG, slide and 3 deck jets. I assume they will not work if the filter is off. Last year I ran my SWG at about 20-25% all season...

We have 2 of the colorlogic LED lights but have a light liner. They are very pretty. The PB did tell us that we needed to pick a lighter liner to get the benefit of the lights though.

When we had the pool built in Sept. 07 we had a Pool Frog Mineral thing plumbed in line with the pool. We did not get a new cartridge last year as I read more about it and decided I did not want the "minerals" in my pool water. Do I need to cut it out or can I jsut not put a cartridge in it...

We are having the pool opened this week. The PB is opening it because there is no way we can get our solid safety cover into that little bag they get it into. We did loosen one end of it and got some water out for a preliminary water test. It was better than I expected. (Tested with the TF...

We had a huge storm yesterday. Chairs blew around, plants tipped over, lots of debris in pool. I immediately put the cleaner in and checked the skimmers. The shallow end was not too bad but definitely had lots of potting soil and peat moss in it. Cleaned it out. the deep end skimmer was...
