    Stair weight idea

    I have large wedding cake steps and am trying to come up with an easy way to weight then down. My husband suggested pvc coated dumbbells. Maybe 4 10or 15 pounders. Anybody have thoughts on this idea? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    Questions on first Slam/ Can I use my robotic vacuum?

    Hi, My pool was cloudy today and chlorine wouldn't hold when I kept adding it. I decided to slam this evening. I have a cya level of 50, so I was targeting a shock level of 20. I overshot and am at FC level of 28, showing CC of .5 now. I didn't test cc before I started (whoops!) Water...
