Yeah, i use Shipito rather than MyUS, but as long as it's legal / safe then i'll get on and do that. Thanks all

Thank you. I'm going to contact them and check they no of no reason not to ship to the UK, then may well use my reshipper.

That's very kind of you. Let me have a check into why there doesn't appear to be any formal channels for them coming into the UK. I do actually use a reshipping service occassionally for importing collectible items, so if it's legal / safe then i can probably just use that as a route in. I...

Hi - i've spent a good amount of time searching and can't find anyone that ships to the UK. Is there an alternate kit recommendation that can measure FC above 10? Also, the chart that you link to, should i be observing the Liquid Chlorine chart in maintenance times and the SLAM chart in, er...

Hi all, after some recommendations on next steps please... After a spell of poor UK weather and me working away the pool had gone to low / no chlorine and had some slight green + visible algae on the steps. Started my SLAM and have kept to it for 9 days now. The green on the water cleared...

Hi all, hoping i can get some experienced guidance as to which way to go from here... UK based, started pool opening a week ago. Vac'd to waste, brushed, tested and everything was looking good in terms of its ph, Alk and CYA. So I started to SLAM by dosing with 10l of 15% liquid chlorine...

Hey, Yes, all good now. Not sure i'll get into the routine or have the available time to test every day, but i'm doing my best to keep on top of it all. The kids certainly appreciate it in their home schooling breaks. have you purchased the pool math app to help? i did look but the products...

Thank you Brett for your help, guidance and humour. Having kissed a few frogs, I'm ready to commit. So i'm currently trying to sort a relevant testing kit (difficult here in the uk), some replacement sand for the filter and those all important blue robes. :D Take care and thanks again.

Hi, can anyone advice on any UK based sellers of FAS-DPD test kits? Or do we have to import from the US ? Cheers!(y)

Thanks for all the info. Bizarrely, I do have a cousin called Bob, but he's pretty rubbish at pool chemistry advice. Equally, here in the UK we don't (to my knowledge) have pool stores that offer testing and advice. You're either on your own or use an experienced pool guy. I'm not afraid of...

Thanks for the replies. I'm learning that there seem to be many different ways to get to the end goal. And also that people seem to pick a route and almost evangelise that it's the only route to enlightenment! Who knew pool chemistry could become a religion! :) On methodology; not sure I can...

Hi all, I'm a pool newbie, I've a 18500 gal outdoor pool here in the uk that runs a sand filter. Having removed the winter cover a week or so ago I'd roughly balanced the ph and Alkalinity and then have been shock treating the pool with liquid chlorine, also using flocculant (Aliphatic...

Hi all, i've a problem with cloudy water! It's my first year of ownership of a below ground 20,000gallon pool in the UK. Unfortunately we never got the winter cover on and a whole lot of leaf debris was in the pool and it was pretty green. I shocked, scooped leaves off the bottom, vaccummed and...
