I was playing around with the camera in some low light situations and I think the photos came out pretty good. Enjoy!

I get it now! So the makers of some of these test kits must be assuming an indoor pool without Sun light. I'm getting it now. That makes more sense! :-D I need to get a better test kit real bad! :)

I am thoroughly confused now. I read through the pool school stuff, but I've also done some other research. Some say that bleach can fade or even damage a vinyl liner. But I guess if you put too much Chlorine Shock in at one time that can too. It looks like you still get more bang for the buck...

The water looked cloudy & murky but with a greenish tint to it. I could still see the bottom and the steps fine, but I've had this happen before, at the end of last season and it eventually went completely green a few days after that. It just seems as though my DPD tablet testing isn't giving...

I don't have a CYA test kit. From what I've read here so far though, I guess I need one. Last night I placed three 3" pucks of chlorine in the skimmer. I also put about 8 onces of water clarifier and 8 onces of algaecide. This morning the water looks much much clearer. There are signs of dead...

FC = 3 PPM per DPD test tablet method ph = 7.2 Topics merged for consistency. Please keep your posts together, no need to start a new thread. FC 3 PH 7.2 But I can't smell any chlorine and the pool is turning green. What am I doing wrong? Please help.

21 foot round 54" high pool. about 12,500 gallon. So, here's what happened... The outlet tube from the sand filter blew off. (the clamp was rusty and screw stripped.) then I lost all the water out of the pool down to the outlet port. The pump was running dry, but I think I cought it in time...

Fuzzy, Nice pool and back yard. I love the trees and woodsy look. I wish I had a few trees in my back yard, but we live on an old baccer field here in the triangle area. :0

These vinyl liners are pretty tough as long as there are no sharp objects in those trenches you will probably be OK. Enjoy your pool for the summer and then when the cold weather returns, but wait, your in Florida. right? Just wait until it gets cold enough and then work on getting rid of the...

Interestingly enough, I also fell and broke "both" heal bones back in 2006. It only took a fall of six feet onto concrete. If I hadn't landed on my feet, it could have been a lot worse, I know you can definitely concur. But my surgeon said these kind's of injuries only happen in automobile...

Tom, I saw your pictures! Is that your neck? The neck deal is a bit more serious than mine, but I live in pain everyday and try to control it any way I can. (If you know what I mean) Here's mine...But in the foot... This is one reason why it's nice to have a POOL!!!

NWMNMom, What is a plumbers mat? I've been searching for some type of mat to put under our cake steps as well. Right now all I have is a 6 foot length of pipe insulation that I put in after the fact. So I had to go under water and place the pipe insulation around the edge of the cake steps and...

Re: Inspiration Wanted..... soda fountain, Nice deck... Is that vinyl railing? I am not crazy about over the pool edge decking, but that looks good! Nice storage boxes too.

Scooperhsd, Welcome! Yeah as another poster said, living here in NC, I don't cover my pool either. But I don't have any trees to worry about. Yep. we live in a sub-division that used to be a tobaccer field.

Re: Inspiration Wanted..... OK Snark, So how'd I do? see the picks above... :-D I built all the decking you see and the "hot tub Hut". It's a never ending project. This weekend we are painting some more railings. I've got some "non-skid decking paint I am going to paint the deck by the pool...

Re: Inspiration Wanted..... OK, post some picks of your pool W/O a deck. We can give you some ideers!

Re: Inspiration Wanted..... You can see here where the edge of the deck comes up to the pool at the lower point. This is where I (daddy) gets into the pool. I love just sitting on the edge and slipping in. :) I kept ours simple and just extended the existing deck structure to...

Here's a picture of my neat little receptical post, installed myself. Enjoy :-D

Yep, I guess you could say it's the next greatest thing to a pool, along with the maintenance... :-D

You have a very nice "Private" resort there. Isn't it great to call your own resort home? :lol:

Nice Job!

I stumbled across this forum after searching for pool care and chemical advise. I've always loved the forum mode of gathering information. What better place to get information than from others who are interested in the same things you are. We purchased our first AGP last year. We decided to go...

Thanks Cassiopeia! As much as I'd like to have an IGP, we didn't have enough free space in the backyard either because of the septic system. I have a neighbor who has an IGP, heat pump and all that jazz and they have yet to open it. We've used ours for several weeks now. I am not going to sit...

Just for you, EPCompX2... Same here on the usage. But I have to say, that when I was younger and single, Me and the "boys" used to do a lot of waterskiing. I never thought I'd own the boat long enough to have my own kids and wife enjoy it too. I just kept hanging on to it and it just sits in...

Our little disney resort in the back yard... 8)
