Ok, did my first pool testing after opening yesterday and after the pump/filter ran for 24hrs. The results are: FC 12 CC 0 TA 90 CYA 40 CH 500 (How this rose over winter is beyond me but it's playing havoc with my CSI) Temp 58 CSI 40 Ph Unknown until my FC comes down a tad. My CH...

Opened It! No surprises and No green thanks to TFP methods of closing at Slam level!

Well....pool is opened! I won't be swimming for a while yet as temp is 51dg and I am too tight to use my new pool heater. First pic is when I cracked open the cover and before vacuuming and before pump was running, just opened cover and took a pic. Next pic is the ph of my well water...

Tomorrow will be my first time opening pool and I have questions about the process. First how long after the pump is running should I wait before checking chemistry? I'm sure my FC is still high so if it is above 10 disregard the ph test until it comes down to under 10? I had plumber...

I'm pretty sure River Pools are actually made by Thursday Pools. Not that it's a manufacturing problem but an Installation problem! I too would not be happy if that was my build. Good luck with your meeting with the builder.

Threw my Aiper S1Pro in and let it clean away while I vacuumed the steps of tanning ledge with my hand-held vac. Water was 49dg so it was Not a pleasant experience, but I Have to fiddle with the pool somehow on my days off. My FC level as 15.5 from Slam level at closing time.

Welcome aboard! This is a very friendly place and everyone who answers questions has a genuine desire to help you succeed with your pool and save you money by doing it yourself. I was in your shoes last year and was quite nervous about taking care of it-Using TFP methods is a piece of cake!

Got the pool landscaping mostly done. It is my sincere hope that the rocks will help to cut back on all the worms I'm constantly dealing with!

Opened cover and threw my robot in to give it a good scrubbing also vacuumed stairs with my hand held Lydsto vac. It was good to tinker with it a bit although I got a severe itch to open soon. Water temp is at 48dg and I’m holding 17ppm FC so did not add any this time. Come on Spring, Dan

Just wanted to show off my new pool deck fire pit build!

Thank you, nice and more in my price range.

I have an outdoor patio couch set that I am in need of new cushions for. I’m searching for some that will hold up to full sun and be left onside in rain. Any suggestions on Brands or stores to search? Thank you Dan

Dreame Z1 Pro Robotic Pool Cleaner Be the first to write a review Advanced PoolSense™ Technology Maximized Cleaning Coverage 8000GPH Suction Power Hands-On Control Manage and Navigate with Ease $1,279.00 I just saw an add for it and was wondering if anyone here may have tried it? Thanks, Dan

Opened up the cover today (just the flip of a switch) and ran my Lydsto hand held vacuum on the tanning ledge and steps & threw the Aiper scuba pro in the deeper in. I plan to do this weekly as there always seems to be a bit of dirt on the edges that find its way in. Also added a gallon of...

Just had new pool heater installed so this will be my first season with it. It is a Hayward Model #H250FDP. I understand that having a heater I now have to be concerned with CH levels whereas before I paid it no mind....CH was 400 at time of Closing so I should be good with that correct...

Also, just so I understand could the second number be a "best if used by" sort of date? That would put it about 7 months from the bottled date....things that make me go "hmmmm"?

Yes! The bottles have same code. So bottled mid Feb and Purchased at my local RK a few days later. I'll check back at my RK to see if there are newer cases for purchase at that time but for now, I'm quiet pleased with my purchase.

CDS brand LC purchased at my local Rural King store for 16.99/case. I saw they just got some in stock and had to buy out of sheer principal in anticipation of the upcoming pool season. But I digress.......I think the first set of numbers mean this batch of LC was bottled on the 49th day of...

Welcome John😊. I’m very thankful for this resource as well! It’s kept me from getting “pool-stored” many times!

So I opened up the cover and gave it a good sweeping. Water was 33dg according to my pool thermometer which was frozen in some ice. Lots of floating icebergs but doable none the less. This will have to do until Spring. Oh and my FC level was still at 12ppm from Slam level at closing time.
