Thank you for the help. Stupid question, they will not getting sucked in the skimmer while pump is running, correct?

pool temp is now 71 after "IRENE". Is there any good solar blanket (that lay on top of water)? Or, solar fish or something like it? Hoping to increase pool temp to 75 or so. Temps have been in the lower 80's and sunny, just a little chilling in the mornings. Thanks, Frank

Thanks! That was our first idea also. Having the deck extend off the current deck and up to the pool and then a lower deck with the Tiki Bar sitting on it. But we 2 dogs and my wife wanted more yard (grass) for them to run.

AWESOME story. We have a Saint Bernard and a Mutt. He loves water, but the gate is always closed and locked. He weighs 200lbs. The mutt hates water, no worries there. Again, an AWESOME story..she sounds like an amazing dog (child) :)!!!

Thanks!! we are using the space underneath for some storage, so my wife wanted lattice put up with a door.

Thank you! We had someone build it.

next year some landscaping around pool and deck

Flow is good but the pump is noisy, I guess from vacuuming

Should I shut off the pump first then hook up the hose to the skimmer or can I leave the pump running? I vacummed last week the filter gauge was going crazy back and forth from 0 to 10, is this normal.

:-D I sure will, we went to Dover yesterday for the race. It was suppose to rain most of the day and it never did.

Thank you for the help. My filter gauge is around 11, at the moment.

My water level is 1 inch from top of the skimmer. With more rain coming this week, I want to lower the level a bit, so it doesn't overflow. Should I use the "backwash" setting or "waste" setting? Frank

electric got done sunday and pool is up and running. what time of day is everyone running their pumps? i had a trench and electrical inspection today, have to add some more grounding (bonding grid in the ground) and have to move my convenience outlets closer to the pool. the pump is wired...

Thank you!! I did shock it on Sunday and stirred it around.
