    Been sticking with the 10% from Lowes for $3.98 a gallon, and checking the dates, 19 140 is what i have now, been keeping an eye on that. Seems my lowes goes thru it pretty fast as it's been consistent moving thru the year. Pool looks awesome, biggest test is this weekend, having a huge party...

    Lowes in Rochester, NY had 19 067 10% gallon bottles for $3.98. Enough to get started but i'm gonna keep looking for a better deal.

    Another Ascorbic Acid Treatment

    This is awesome...I just dropped in 3 tabs of Vit C, straight out of my Rx cabinet just to see if this works and these pics are after 2 min and 5 min....I'm going to clearly do more but i think this might be an easier way that uses less AA, and is a direct hit on the stains....pool is too cold...

    I do have pool stores locally that sell Liquid but I'm still searching to make sure it's cost effective.

    Just got the pool open over the weekend. Looked great but clearly I've got a metal problem with the stairs. I haven't tested the water yet but even after running the filter for a day it went from slightly cloudy back to crystal clear. I did some research and was considering Naturally Aqua...

    Did the filter swap and ZeoSand add today. Filter arrived just before noon in a tattered and torn box but appeared in good shape. I had heard horror stories about purchases like this from Amazon but the laterals were all in perfect condition and the only thing missing was a single nut from the...

    I've been a pool owner for 8 years, mostly trouble free, using the Frog mineral system, but not their expensive Chlorine Bac pacs. Being in Western New York, I generally open early (Tax Day) and close late (Halloween) not that i'm always using it, but the view from my kitchen is so much better...
