Yep those of us in CT know that Ocean State Job lot is the place to go even though the prices are way up! If there's one near you head there.

I just got back from Ocean State Job lot here in CT, my go to place for 12.5% Bleach, was stunned to see the price was up to $20 a for a case of 4, It wasn't too long ago that number was around 12 or 13 bucks a case. Sheesh, guess I should be glad I found some very fresh stuff though.

So, just to update, I turned my Heat pump on Tuesday am with pool temp at about 62ish, by Wednesday around 1pm we were at 78. This is running the heater 24 hours a day with the solar cover on, now I have it at 82 and will leave it there through the weekend. With the solar cover it will not use...

Yep, gas def. heats faster but again, once up to temp the electric is great at maintaining temp and running efficiently. I'm heating my pool up for Thursday but will keep it heated through the weekend and with solar cover at night and electric, it won't run a ton once it's up to temp. We have...

I live in CT and have a 20x32 pool. We went the Heat pump route because it's so efficient. Yes, it is slow to heat up but it just means you have to plan ahead. We want to start swimming on Thursday here, so I will start heating up on Tuesday and should be good by Thursday afternoon. The nice...

Connecticut here, hoping we have a nice hot summer!

The water temp is 52 degrees and won't start heating it up for a couple weeks yet but it sure is nice having the pool open!

Live in CT, got our pool just a few years ago, they finished the pool in mid September and I think they said they had to wait 10 days. Anyway, couple weeks later they poured the concrete and all was fine.

Oh boy! That's my go to store in Canton CT for chlorine, went the other day and picked up 2 cases, maybe should have gotten more.

Thank you, that's what I figured.

Hi guys, have a question. I have my pool pump set to run 24 hours right now because of temps here in the Northeast. It's only running at 1500 rpm so as to not use much energy. My question is, many of those 24 hours the freeze protect is taking over and running at 3450 rpms. Do I need the...

Here in CT, went to Ocean State Job Lot, they have had pool shock before but never had a date I could discern on the bottle or box, so that always worried me. Well today, I guess they have a new supplier now, $12 for a box of 4 12.5% super shock with a date code of 19-151!! Can't get much...

In Central CT, we opened April 17th, water temp 52, but it's clear and looks great!

Opened the pool today! Looks great! But a ways to go before we swim!
