Do you have a menards? It's $5 a gallon up here and fresh.

I think a large portion of the cost is the distance from you to their fill up facility. For reference in Aug of 21 I paid 350 per load which was around 6k gallons and they were only a few miles away.

I had some old wood laying around and built this in the corner of the yard. I just put some bunnies across the top to keep things in. Works good for us.

I just bought a bunch of pvc to make something much more complicated. Is this actually working well? I may take back what I have and try this instead. Thanks

I found out this year that not all 100% cya dissolves the same for some reason. I had two 3lb socks each with different cya. One was from home depot and the other was from in the swim. The one from home depot would squish out in no time and the one from in the Swin never did. It ended up taking...

If you haver an autocover, have you inspected the cover pit? I couldn't pass a slam until I started dumping 5 gallon buckets of pool water into the well to flush it out. I also cleaned the top of my cover with pool water and pumped it off. It was pretty tedious but I passed shortly after.

That's a very good point, I didn't think of it that way. I'll have to measure how far down the returns are but I'll bet you are correct. Thanks

Hi, When the pool was closed last November the water level was dropped at least 16 inches and the solid loop loc cover put on. Starting in Feb, I started pumping the snow melt and rain from the cover into the pool to start filling it up. I did this with the hopes of dropping my calcium level...

Do you have the zip code set in the pool setup for weather conditions? Maybe it uses that for the timezone?
