I hope my internet speed will be good enough to handle the video--I just signed up for Prime today and haven't tried yet. I think I'll be ok with the music...I sometimes listen to Spotify. I wish they'd offer different "packages" of Amazon prime. I've spent hours upon hours over many years...

After MUCH thought, I finally took the plunge to sign up for an Amazon Prime account. It will be interesting to see how much I order in the next year just to feel like I got my money's worth! I miss the days of $25 to qualify for free shipping--it has now gone to $49!! :roll: What types of...

I noticed yesterday that one of the local WalMart stores is carrying 10% liquid chlorine (in the pool section) for $2.50, which is a great price according to the calculator. I've never used it though. Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

Interesting. Cowboy, there are some good smartphone apps, or you can also create a Google Form to easily input your info, which will then go to a spreadsheet. You can view it on graphs as well. Google forms are super easy to use. :-) Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

LOL...sounds like a plan to me! I'll save the coffee cans! :p

I know the pros and cons of adding DE to a sand filter have been discussed in depth. My question is about how to store the powder since I won't be using it often. The best I can come up with is a 5 gallon bucket with a lid, but that means I have to move about 23 lbs out of the rectangle box it...

Depends on how cheap it is. I've used 5.25% before because it is on sale for a good price and I know it moves off the shelves fast. However, I've also bought 8.25% when it is on sale as well. Great link I got from this website: Chlorine Price Per Ounce Calculator

The store I went to today is fairly new and has only been open a short time. Based on the test results from the bleach I got at a different store on Saturday, it was at least 8.25%. I can look up the code for you if you would like? May be good reference for the future. I saw a post on here...

$5 of $25 is on again next weekend here...hopefully it will be for you too! [emoji2] Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

$2.75 is 8.25% bleach, the other for $2.30 is 6%. Great deal on 8.25%! Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

I bought 10 Saturday ($5 off $25 purchase) and 3 more today ($2 off $10 purchase). The store I went to Saturday is not as well managed as the store I was in today. There was no sale tag up...so while it was a pleasant surprise I had angry people behind me because it took them a few min to...

Thanks for all the input. I didn't have any hopes that it would be the 8.25% at that price. [emoji6] I will check when I'm there tomorrow though. Thanks! Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

This was in the weekly ad. I am not currently at DG and the MSDS sheet on DGs website has a UPC number, so I'm not sure I'm looking at the correct one. http://dollargeneral.online-msds.com Does anyone have any experience using DG bleach or have this bottle at home and can look up the UPC or...

No usual signs of hard water inside the house (scaling, stains, etc). I will look at the CSI info next time I put in my test results. Thank you! The liner color is fairly consistent all the way around. It could be bleached out slightly, but there is obvious staining too (like a brownish...

Thank you for responding pooldv! I don't know. Anything else I can use instead? I don't use trichlor pucks...I use Clorox to open or if there is an algae issue, and then SWG throughout the season.

I just opened Saturday. Is there any way to clean the liner stains before I raise the water again? The picture quality is not that great--to me it looks worse in person. Thanks!

Thank you!! Sent using Tapatalk

Due to a fountain, I do not really have a place for a solar cover reel without it majorly being in the way. How much of the pool has to be covered to benefit from a solar blanket? The reason I ask is because I'm considering buying a large blanket and cutting it into sections or buying several...

I'm considering adding a building in the backyard near the pool. One side would be enclosed, for storage of a lawnmower, weedeaters, etc. I have a basement with a bathroom so that really isn't a necessity in a building. I'm not sure about enclosing the side for the pool equipment in case work...

Sam's Club sells their used icing buckets (with lids) for $1 each. I fill those 2/3 of the way full with water (pool water I would drain out anyway) and put the lid on halfway (which is enough to keep it from blowing off). They are heavy buckets and did a great job for me last year (which was...

Thanks, that's what I thought since I've read that on here a lot...I just don't like the idea of carrying all that bleach around or I would consider that as well. Just wanted someone else to verify....thanks! Sent using Tapatalk

We have had massive amounts of rain in my area...although it was badly needed there is too much of a good thing!! I noticed the other day that the GFCI on my SWG had gone out. I've tried resetting it, both from outside and in the main box in the basement, but neither way works. Whether it...

Interesting...maybe they are planning to make the likes visible to everyone soon, otherwise what's the point if they don't show up...lol. I have version 5.1.1 on Android. Just noticed the thumbs up had appeared a few days ago. Sent using Tapatalk

There is one on the Tapatalk app! :-) Sent using Tapatalk

Wow...I think I need to open a side business with those rates! I did my own last year as a first time pool owner. Yes, I was worried b/c of no prior experience, but I am also the "I'd prefer to do it myself type", even though it probably took me 3x as long as someone who has done it for years...

Samt, I did the same thing last year minus the antifreeze and wire, but you are in a much colder climate than I am in the winter. As a new pool owner I was very worried about my process, but it worked out great and I had planned to do the same again this year, even though I'm definitely not...

Yes, I ordered the Jandy grease cup and replaced it earlier in the month with no issues. I ordered the shaft seal and replacement gasket kit a little while ago. Decided to "upgrade" to the one made with Viton; not sure if it will live up to the hype of being better or not but I did find it for...

So, a new but maybe related issue??!! Almost two weeks after replacing the Jandy grease cup, which didn't fix my air leak, I notice my pump is now leaking water at the bottom of the pump next two the black housing unit. From what I've read, this is most likely a seal on the motor shaft or the...
