I'll admit I'm not a big communicator on this site but I do surf it on a regular basis(work). Being a new owner of a sand filter, switching from cart, this will be my second season opening our 3rd new pool. At work the question arose about flushing the sand filter before attaching plumbing and...

Thank ya kindly, had a feeling just wanted second opinion. Made up a system like you use on a dishwasher(clean/dirty) to prevent this from happening again. We'll see.

Long story short-!82 0z of 6% was added to bring cl from 0 to 13 (as per calc) for shock level on opening. A good deed added another 182 oz which pushed it now to 26. Organic material in pool with extreme pollen drop from trees. Cya didn't register at 20 and none has been added yet. Where do i...

How'd it taste?

Wally World stocks in springtime then thats it, so i grab my stash of 1oz bottles for the year and just refill old bait stations. Once you find a trail follow it back and bait them suckers. Within two days trails gone.Great stuff.

They do make a bit"Pasco 3244 2" ram bit"that will remove pipe material from fitting. Used them alot in slab work when i was a plumber, try it on a scrap piece to get the hang of it. Around $30 or so. Picture would be helpful for a trouble shoot.

Yeah, but it's a dry heat :roll: 105 here today 97 at my desk-I wish it would snow

Have been with no problem's but it was impossible to find this year . Four walmart's within 10 miles, nothing. Ended up at pool store(argh) $25 for 3.5lbs!! Went early in season and was told all chem orders were finished ? Ya think the pool store could have at least bought me diner first before...

Yup,solarcovers.com. Pool store wanted $120 for a 12x24 oval (10 mil?). Got 12 mil $59, ordered by 3pm, two day free delivery. Best deal out there!!

Gonna try the dark rum, tired of sashimi,ceviche and blackened, but thanks. Keep them coming though, boat will be back tonight. Gonna try to do a whole head with some citrus wrapped in foil. Love those cheek's!! Maybe after some beer's we'll see about an eyeball or two. :lol:

Have some fresh blue/yellow fin tuna steaks, anybody have some killer out of the ordainary receipes. Charcoal/smoker. Thanks.

Re: Very Low Chlorine Usage on a Nice Day with Lots of Swimm It's a great feeling, isn't it!!

Last week at the shorehouse had 500 steamers(littleneck's) to do whatever with so i tried hickory smoked casino's on the grill. Smoked some bacon , chopped med coarse added to seasoned panco with finely minced onion and jalapeno with just enough butter to make paste. Cooked clams on grate till...

A strap wrench is one essential pool tool everybody should invest in. From carboy lids to unions, pvc nipples,etc. Don't know if there still available but i use a cap that came on one of my carboy's that had a 3/4 female threaded knockout that i put a pvc ballvalve on and use that on my refills...
