They really are! I just wish I could’ve gotten it at the pre-Covid “everyone has a pool now” price 🤣

I bought this. It’s a great middle ground pool vac. Easier/quicker to use than a regular vac without the expense of a robotic (all the robotic ones I found were around $400-$600). Zero worry about getting air out of hoses or letting air get into the pump/filter. Just attach it to your...

My current CYA level is 45. The pool is in full sun all day. Zero shade. The temps get around 100°+ during the summer. I’m losing around 50%, maybe even a little more, of my FC, which I know is normal. I’m trying to cut back on having to add so much bleach every single day (I use 12.5%). I was...

Got it now, thanks!! Sideways on iPhone too 👍🏻👍🏻

Ok, I’m not seeing any links or your signature. What am I missing?

Hello from South Texas! Like a lot of people, we bought a “COVID pool” (as I call it), and put it up over the weekend. You definitely need it in this TX heat 🥵 Anyway.... I’m sure I’ll be frustrated and at a loss more times than I can imagine, and will come here to get talked off the ledge 😁
