Hi grumpy611, Would you happen to have any pictures of your winter setup? It sounds interesting. The cold temperatures this summer have me thinking about pool closing asap and last year we struggled with the typical high wind issues. Thanks!

Thanks everyone. I have been holding at the ma slam levels and had my solar blanket in and even removed the ladder to clean it with the chlorine. Two nights ago I didn't see any loss, so I'm hoping I have it cleared up.

dfahrion, thank you.. I was just reading the information now that I should have done the normal SLAM first, then done the mustard algae shock process.. I have been at those shock levels now for almost 24 hrs, so I hope I haven't done anything too unfixable! :-( I guess I will let it drop to the...

A few days ago, my pool water turned cloudy and some extra 'dirt' began appearing on the pool floor.. I just kept up my usual routine and vacuumed and kept my LQ topped up, till about 2 days ago when it began to have a green tint to the water.. so I started investigating.. :confused: I wasn't...

That makes sense!! Thanks.

Hi there, I snagged the incredible deal on a rocky roller and almost brand new cover for 150$.. now I'm attempting to trim the cover to fit our pool and have some questions.. We want to permanently anchor the reel along the back of the deck. Do you guys feel it's too far away from the pool to...

Thats awesome! If I opened my pool now I think my kid would be in the next day too! ;-)

Thank you! I'm seeing that brand and they look really well made.. definitely going to consider them. Sent from my SM-G870W using Tapatalk

Apologies, as this may seem silly.. My pool is 16x32, and I'm seeing a lot of solar cover reels that say up to 16' wide pool. Would you guys suggest I go with one that is 16' or go with one that is longer, say 18' or 20'? Thank you!

I'm curious to know how you made out as well. My deck is similar except it's enclosed around the whole pool.. this is what we dealt with all fall and spring.. ? thankfully the winter ice helped with this problem... I would love to find a solution so that the cover isn't being blown up and pulled...

Thanks! It's going to be a pain to stain it this summer, that's for sure [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G870W using Tapatalk

Wow, wow, wow, wow! That has to be the most incredible backyard.. What a fabulous job spillmar! Definitely enjoyed that whole thread :-)

Thanks. I'm going to see about having the tf-100 shipped to my uncle in Albany and having him bring it up next time he visits.. will have to see when that next visit is planned. [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G870W using Tapatalk

Hi all, I have been lurking and have posted once, but am still very much a noobie. We installed our on ground 16x32 in the middle of last year, so I have some experience with its maintenance and water levels, but I'd like to learn how to test on my own this year and figure this is the best place...
