    SLAM; Solar Cover

    ?? Neighbor! Are you drowning on land?! Holy Hannah is it wet outside. This humidity is exactly why I don’t leave the Midwest in the summer. Anywho... with this heat, and my thermometer being set at 84, I was worried about evaporation of the chlorine and how that’d affect my readying. I’m on...

    Dry water

    Add salt? COOL!! I was under the impression I could keep FC in the 4 range due to the UV light. What’s your take on UV?

    Dry water

    Hellos! So my water has been dry...causing dry skin and horrid feeling hair. I had wanted a SWG because I liked the water feel but was talked out of it by my local store back when we bought the house four summers ago. They stated we could get that using borates. Not exactly my experience and...
