I did! Other than the hair, that is how it was when their mother sent them to preschool. Luckily the suits I grabbed them just happen to match. I didn't even notice until I posted the picture, lol.

. It's not crystal clear, but I can see the 8ft deep end. I am still maintaining slam levels but it drops enough while I am at work to let the kids go for their first swim.

You will go through a lot of bleach but that is a small price to pay compared to what the pool store probably charged your husband the past two years. Your making progress, keep up the great work!

Great Idea on adding the 2nd valve!

Just to add to the panty hose idea, I use disposable hair nets. They seem to hold up to the chlorine better. 100 for $8.25 using Amazon.

Quick update on my swamp. I had small setback a couple weeks ago that caused me to lose a lot of progress, but it is now back underway. I have went thru SO much bleach. I'm going thru 4-5 jugs of 121oz 8.25% a day and I can see progress. This is defiantly going slower than I thought, but I'm...

How will I know if that is the case? After 12 hrs I'm at .5 fc and 1.5 cc. Just added to bring up to 10ppm fc. I will update in 30 mins.

Wow! I hope mine clears up that fast! The previous owners left the pool in quite a mess. They did nothing to winterize! Right now the pool seems to be frog utopia, but they are getting relocated. Next week I can have someone run over a couple times a day for me, but I'm out of luck until they...

I understand there are always uv rays present. :) I was given the below advise so I was thinking I should hold off still.
