We used that and my husband used a rubber mallet to help it in. Works great !

I add mine everyday. Usually in the early morning. I pretty much know now how much I need to add. So I test every few days to make sure all is in order.

I am new to using TapaTalk on my phone and tablet. I have a few questions...... 1. Can I get to Pool school and Pool Math in Tapatalk? 2. I can not see anyones signatures in Tapatalk. Is there a setting for seeing them or is it not a feature of tapatalk? Thanks for any help. Dee

I am no expert and only had my pool for 3 years, but I have a main drain and 2 skimmers in my inground and they are all the way open when I run my filter except for when I manually vacuum. I close one of the skimmers and partially close the main drain to get good suction for vacuuming.

My husband found this in our pool and decided to have fun with me...

I can just see Mom's going to the pool and pulling out the test strips and thinking they are so informed....lol.

You have done a great job. The deck is really nice and the water in the pool looks very sparkly ! Fabulous Sent from my GT-P5210 using Tapatalk

If the weather is good...I keep them outside to dry so they can use them a few times before washing. Sent from my GT-P5210 using Tapatalk

I get a case of 4 gallons of 12.5% at American Sales for 9.99. It has been that price for the last 3 years.

A beautiful setup ! Sent from my GT-P5210 using Tapatalk

What a beautiful backyard ! Water looks fantastic !!

lol.....always make the spouse think it's harder than it really is...

Congratulations on taking charge of your pool. It feels good !

Your pool and backyard looks great. I never thought pool maintenance could be so easy. And I love being in charge of my own pool !

When we had a chain link fence around our pool, I bought some nice shower curtain hooks (s-shaped) hung those on the fence and then hung the towels on them to dry. Was a great way to keep them off the chairs. But I don't have the chain link fence anymore, so I need to come up with something new...

We went down metal slides after they baked in the hot sun...and kept going up for more....spun on the merry go round at the park until we couldn't walk straight from being so dizzy. I will take my chlorinated pool over a pond or lake any day.

Very nice looking pool !

We are finally up to 79 today. It is 90 degrees out today in the Chicagoland area and lots of sun !! Finally !

I downloaded this last year.....http://poncatechsquad.com/dan/chlorine/

Maybe try sprinkling some baking soda over the area, that will help absorb the oil and then pour some vinegar over it. Then some warm water and scrub brush.

THat is cotton ....we have it and it seems as if it is never going to stop blowing into my pool. This is a yard just around the corner from us.

Mine is all pollen and cotton. Not sure if something is wrong with filter or just too much of it to handle. Other than the bottom getting dirty quickly , my water is crystal clear.

Thanks Jason !

Truly happy spending my summers off in my backyard !!

I have crystal clear water but was getting dirt on the bottom of my pool that would come back within an hour of vacuuming. My numbers were all good and had no CC's. We put skimmer socks on both of our skimmers and even put skimmer socks on our returns. Dirt would stay away. As soon as we took...

I can't wait for my husband to read this thread. We have been in our house 3 years now and we had 15 ft. Arborvitae Hedge around our whole backyard. THe first swimming season my husband watched one of those birds fly over our pool and drop the poop sac into our pool. From then it has been the...

I found TFP when we moved into our house of 3 years now and knew nothing about pools. Thankfully I absorbed all the information on this site and have only gone to the pool store to get parts. My pool looks amazing thanks to TFP !!

We went a little MacGyver today to clean the pool. We took a skimmer sock and put it on the end of the hose, leaving some hanging over to be sucked in during vacuuming. We then attached the hose onto our manual vacuum brush. We then vacuumed as normal. I was amazed all pollen and tiny seeds...
