As mentioned, it's all about wants and needs. We all want everything and we all need something...our job is to determine which is more important at the time. If you future finances look good for the next 5yrs or so and you want it, go for it, the kids will love it. If your finances don't look...

I'm just the opposite. Grew up in HI and not allowed to have firearms other than in your house. Moved to TX and it's all good now!

Facebook! What is that?:laughblue::laughblue::laughblue:

I'm glad my pool builder did something similar. My pool builder placed a 12" pvc pipe going down to the bottom of the pool on the deep end. They said to check this from time to time, although there shouldn't be any water in there. If there is lower a pump and pump out the water. The water would...

I just watched the 2 YouTube videos on Pool Chlorine storage and FC/CYA. Very informative info on there, just unfortunate I missed it at launch. I always thought CYA would be difficult to bring down...basically drain and refill, but I see the sun and chlorine can diminish CYA over time. When...

Now that's good to know! My PH has been at 7.8 for the longest of time, I never had to manage it so far. I even made a bubbler just in case I had to increase it, but never used it.

That's what I was wondering about...so I guess my CC is correct at .5, thank you for verifying!

It will probably be lower due to heavy thunder storm now...it figures! I'll be testing that and my FC tomorrow morning...after I drain my pool again!

No, it was at 80, but now it's at 90 where I usually have it.

I just got back from a vacation...9 days. Prior to leaving I had my FC at 16 accidentally, I was shooting for 12, but over shot! I turned off my Chlorinator since it was at 16. I was not too concerned since I knew it was going to rain hard for a couple of days, which it did. I had to drain some...

I just heard the chlorine shortage is starting to...well...get short! Called 3 HD to order some LC and neither of them had any, but the forth one did. I also found some at another HD, 4gal box for $15.98 plus tax, it's over $4 per gal. With the Summer sun coming, I thought I'd better stock up...

:laughblue: Non speaking English, learning Aussie Lingo living in Hawai'i is how to you learn to speak local pidgin. Dats how it all started...people from all over the world working together on the plantation not understanding each other, had to speak broken English and hand signs...then the...

Aloha Gisele! I lived in Hawaii (Oah'u) for 58yrs and my dad installed a vinyl pool when I was like 10yrs old. Most of my life there swimming was in the ocean and never did any pool swimming once in my teens. Sorry, I don't know any contacts for pool stuff there...just the Pacific Ocean...LOL...

Well my UV system cracked at the top and was shooting out water, hence my system kept tripping and would not reset. I was quoted $975 for a new one including installation, but I'm going to pass on that. Maybe in the future I'll reinstall if I feel I need one, but I think as long as I follow the...

Texasnative, that's not a pool, it's a lake! Very impressive pool....good job!
