Hey thanks a lot. Seems you are the only one to comment. I appreciate that.

Could someone please recommend a reputable online company that I may order a new vinyl in ground liner from. I have looked around a lot but thought I should ask here before making a move. Pretty sure there are not a 100 company's that actually make the liners. Would guess that a lot of the sites...

Lol, I was being sarcastic about the speedstir. Who knows, may order one just to see..lol.

I am NO expert but I do not test CH on my vinyl liner pool. from what I read, no need. I am too lazy to use a speedstir...Get my point..

I would like to thank Jason T. Linhart for making up what I think to be the original Pool Math poll chemical calculator. I still use it till today and have had excellent results ! So, thanks ! PoolMath

One of the biggest mistakes I made when adopting the BBB method was not taking it easy. This is simple straight forward stuff. I complicated things when I need not had. I would do things like testing FC, adding the amount of chlorine recommended then going right back out and testing it again...

Well, once again, "screwed but not getting kissed" by the big corporations. I would say that its nice to know that it is not just in my area but, its not nice. I do thank you cats for your suggestions. BTW. I did a search and did not find any other threads about this so my bad if I am "beating a...

Wanted to know if this is happening in your area as well. Last year liquid bleach at W. mart or F. Dollar or at D. General was around 3.00 per gal. for 8.25 %. This year its still around 3.00 per gallon but in ALL of those stores the percentage of chlorine went down to 6.0 percent ! How about...

Thanks for sharing that Jim. I always thought the F-4 was the meanest looking jet ever. When I was in school it was the one I would always try and draw. Outstanding Aircraft Technician of the year, hard to top that ! I would bet it was one h@ll of a blast a ride in that thing. That is a great...

Good one Jim, and that is about right. Sometimes hopping around real early puts a hurt in this old back anymore ! It passes an OCLT without any problem. I thought it was a bit high usage wise as well. I like to run it past the experts here so I cover my bases. My pool is in direct sunlight most...

Hey all. Wanted to run this past a few "old timers" here. I am using right at 1 Gallon at 10% bleach per day, you know give or take. 27000 gal. No CC. CYA 40. Around 85 degrees water temp. PH 7.5-7.6 PH 90. What say you ?

"As for the pool store, the best solution is to 'accidentally' forget a water sample next time. And the time after that. And the time after... well you get the idea. You have been managing your pool using TFPC for the past four years, you got this under control. Unless you can taste the salt it...

Every so often, about two times a season or so I go to the pool store to buy a few supply's and I have them test my water sample. I like to see what they say as opposed to my tests. When I go in this time they say my salt level is high...?? I do not run a salt pool, I use bleach only. She swears...

I was a complete noob about 4 years ago and learned it is not so hard at all to maintain my pool after following directions and asking questions here. The directions found here are complete and straight forward. 1st year I over analyzed everything and had a rough time. After that I was and have...

I have swam in much worse but I am not saying that you should !
