I did see the booster seat but those are small and too tall he would fall off. Looking for a mat that is at least 24 x 24 that he can sit on and splash

Anyone have ideas about how to put a soft cushion on my sun ledge so my grand child can sit on it and not have to sit/scrape his legs on the pebble surface? I have considered bath tub mats or even a stall mat from Tractor Supply but not sure how those will hold up / interact with the chlorine...

1st Winter managing pool just south of DFW, had it put in last fall and company managed it until March. Questions: I now have a solar cover do I keep it on or take it off? Right now it's on and every 2 weeks I pick off the leaves and open pool to brush and get any leaves that made it in and...

I have these returns in my pool. The one on my sundeck was stuck with the plaster so I had to break it to take it off when I put in my PVC homemade cooler. I'd like to but the eyeball back on when I pull the cooler off. Anyone know where I can get just the ring instead of buying the complete...

That's the next step, getting some height, now that proof of concept works. I'm a little worried with my crew hitting it and breaking the piece that goes into the wall. The other side of pool as a 1.5ft tall wall so I'm going to move it there and get some elevation and still have it protected...

Has anyone added a piece of PVC to the bubbler and then a fountain top to make a cooler? Instead of attaching to the return lines. Mine are flush mount and I'm a little uneasy about removing them. I can't remember but along the way of building our pool someone recommended using the bubbler as...

Down to 83 today. I put away the solar cover but might have to bring it back out for a few days to warm up the pool.

Thanks all, We have an inline chlorinator so I'll add them to that. As for PH it was 8.2 and TA was 90 so both on the high side 2 days ago. Add Acid to treat and will retest Wed

thanks. I added 4lbs of conditioner to get it from 20 to 30, via sock in strainers. I figure to put some tabs in and test every 4-5 days.

My current CYA is 30 and I'd like to get it closer to 50 as we are now getting warmer. I've used the conditioner and sock in the skimmer to get it here but wondering if I should or could just get some Chlorine tablets and add both at once? I am using liquid chlorine now.
