So my skin is slightly itchy after swimming in my standard chlorine pool. Its really not bad at all but I’ve heard salt water is better for your skin and feels softer. is there any history of adding salt to non-salt pools? Does this help with pool itch? Part of why I made the decision to go...

Nope. They were a real pain to deal with honestly. For now I’ll clean it, and just be aware that it is a potential issue and I’ll keep an eye on it. Thanks so much for your help.

No there is no notch. I assume now that it’s all in place and construction has been finished for over 6 months now, we’re too late for that notch?

So, just to be clear, this mound of calcium I have under the spill over seems to just be from excessive use? That would be a relief for sure.

Hello again everybody. So as you may see from my post history this will be the first season with my new pool that was finished in October 2019. TFP has guided me in keeping the pool immaculate up to this point. We have now started to use the pool with temps in the low 90s here in Southern...

Hey guys, just a quick question about deck-o-seal here. I've never applied it, but after being left high and dry by my pool builder and decking contractor, it's become apparent to me that I will be applying my own deck-o-seal. I'm in Southern California, San Bernardino specifically. I have...
