Just be patient with your conversion. It takes time. Like I told you earlier you will save money, I know from experience and a waste of money last year. Right now all I have to deal with is the debris the wind blows in during the many thunderstorms we have had this spring. I opened to clear...

I have used mine at least 90-100 times and have some left. Had to order refill for the titrants. Susan

Don't take offense but if your wife is allergic to chlorine does she drink only distilled water because most drinking water has some chlorine in it? I used baquagoo for 4 years and over the 4th year I spent over $1400 in chemicals and had 1 and 1/2 weeks without an algae problem. I do not have...

Yes you should add more bleach. Your FC is at about 1. It takes a lot of bleach. I used about 95-174oz bottles over about a 2 week period to get out all of the baquagoo. You really have to be patient. Also you could smell the odor of the bleach very well at first. After all baquagoo was...

Wal-Mart sells cya as stabilizer. It is a 3lb jug. It is by aquachem. Susan

No I don't have pictures since we added the river rock. It has been raining here for the most part for about 6 wks. Also you need to get some total vegetation killer and spray it around the outside perimeter of the pool so the grass does not get under pool and start growing through the liner...

Hello again, Yes you can. Susan

Welcome, You will be glad that you switched. Susan

Hello, Our yard is also on a slope. About 3 feet from top of pool to back side. We just added river rock for drainage. This works very well as about 15 foot from the back side of the pool is a wooded area. It looks very clean as we have to constantly keep on top of the weeds. The pump...

We had another torrential downpour early a.m. Clean bottom now has debris again. I just scooped out what I could a few minutes ago and will vacuum again today if it doesn't rain after supper. Amjohn I am like you just wish it would miss my house for a few days at least. It is watering the...

Hi, No fpmom. When I opened the post there was only his post and your response so I thought he had started his own thread. Sorry Susan

Hi, Even with all this rain. It will just get diluted again and bleach is cheaper than stabilizer. I am patiently waiting out the rain. Susan

Hi Steve, We had to replace skimmer last year. Had PB to come and replace. It cost $50 for wide mouth skimmer and labor. Well worth it since husband knows nothing about pool maintenance. He replaced GFCI outlet for pool and it still did not work. Had to get electrical engineer brother to...

Hi, Sorry I went so long on the post. Susan

Hi all, We have had a lot of rain here in my part of GA ever since I opened my pool at the first of April. Water was clear when I opened. Did shock since FC was 0. Got chemicals perfect then came the rain just about everyday since then. Chemicals stayed good for about 3 weeks then the CYA...

Welcome, :-D And please read the pool school articles. Susan :sun:

Hi and Welcome, Read up on clearing algae with lots of bleach at the pool school. Test water be patient and persistant in cleaning up the algae. :lol: :-D Frustratedpoolmom-He did not hijack a thread, he started his own and wanted help. Good Luck, Susan :wave:

Hello, And welcome. :sun: It will take days for the stabilizer to dissolve. You can either pour it in the skimmer basket or put it in a tube sock hanging in front of the return jet. If you put it in the skimmer basket do not backwash your pool. You normally backwash when your psi goes too...

Since I work for Walmart I get a 10% discount so I still get Walmart bleach for 2.28. Susan

Welcome and good luck on the leak. Susan

Hi, I have an 18X33 above ground pool and I have two 30 amp breakers dedicated to the pool. We are only using one of them so far. There are six outlets with a GFCI and 2 flood lights wired directly with an on/off switch. Two of the outlets are on a post on the pool deck to plug in stereos...

Hi Jason, Got the pool calculator yesterday for my I phone. This means I do not have to take my laptop out to the pool as often to do tests. Thanks Susan

I thought she was great again. Such a strong voice. Good luck, Susan

Welome, You are at the right place to learn anything you want to know about pools. Susan

Why don't you ask her to donate money (in your name) to a church or your favorite charity. She then can donate what she thinks it is worth to her. Maybe then you do not have to come up with a dollar figure. Susan

When I bought my pool I ask for a 25mil liner and the pool store changed it from 20mil to 25mil free of charge. We brought the pool home so we did not have to pay extra for them to deliver it. They were supposed to start installing the pool 2 days later. It was raining the day we bought it...

Re: Please help! Situation with Sand Filter (with pics) There is a local guy in my area that only charges $50 to change sand in my area. He is responsible if he tears up anything so that is how I change my sand. One of the local pool stores recommended him. You could check in to this in...

Are there not any pool stores in neighboring towns? Some pool stores will travel 50 or more miles to install AG pools without charging extra for the distance around here (just outside of Atlanta). I would try to get at least a 25mil liner if I were you. Susan

I watched some of your daughters videos on youtube and she really does have a special gift. It is so wonderful to see young people so talented to persue their dreams. Tell her to just keep at it. Young people like your daughter are a blessing and a breath of fresh air. My husband and I...

As a matter of fact I do. Eris Muse and Sharee Taylor. I know a couple of others also.
