66 is when I was last in...yeah, Doc has issues.

Might have to watch for a sale. Was going with Defy.

Thanks Stump!

25 views and no replies. Question: Since there is no time to pressure wash, use brightener and clean the wood, is it worth treating now or just wait until spring?

Pressure treated soft pine (?) indtalled March 2016. With schedule and now weather, only option is to dry brush and stain. Looking at semi transparent or even semisolid oil based. I'm not set on anything special. Just wondering if I should wait until spring instead, when I can properly...

We installed the winter cover already due to leaves. Put chemicals in and will do a final test and pull plumbing in a few weeks.

Thx. I used the 7.x and figured it was all close enough since I used all three gallons. Errrrr I mean 21 oz less than that :) I read that about the Polyquat and hen saw a few threads where some said it wouldn't matter. I figured with the stability I've had, three gallons of bleach and the full...

pH 7.5 FC 9.5 CC 0.0 TA 40 (was 100 a month ago with very little usage since) CYA 50-60 i noticed two things about the bleach I bought at Walmart. It is 8.25% but the available Chlorine is 7.86. In addition, it is not a gallon it is 121 ounces. 3 gallons of that in along with a quart of...

Nothing if in front of a return.

Very cool

Before TFP, my pucks (actually bioguard smart silk sticks) went right in the skimmer. No issues.

Thanks guys. Will do what I did last year and open to a clear pool (I hope)

Here's why. Currently at 50 or so. I have leftover Bioguard Silk Smart Sticks and I figure this would be the time of year to get rid of them due to low to soon-to-be no bather load. Also have a few bags of their shock. I figured using them now would help me get rid of them and be an ideal...

Last year was our first year. I took all the hoses off, removed all the plugs and then covered everything. All that stuff went inside the garage. Pump stayed outside and I did not remove the valve spider gasket. I wonder if I need to remove the gasket this year?

just finished this project landscape fabric and "no dig" landscape edging from Lowes. NO DIG! Needs mowing

I used this last year. Before I found religion (TFP) probably will again this year Amazon.com : Kem-Tek KTK-50-0006 Pool and Spa 60-Percent Concentrated Algaecide, 1 Quart : Swimming Pool Algaecides : Patio, Lawn Garden

Ours are new and the eyeball doesn't move. We rotate the whole thing. When needed, I take my shorts off and use them to grip :)

Leave pH alone.

Thread isn't that old. Decided to test inside. Since I have the standard and everything is the same then it is valid. Lots of rain past two weeks which is good. TA dropped from 110 to 100 pH 7.4 CYA TESTING: Dining room light on. Tube on white paper towel. Head hovering, glancing at dot...

I was for $2.50 at Walmart. Now it's closer to your price so the $15/5gal of 12.5% at the pool store is cheaper but a PITA.

Looks like you are on the right track. If truly trying to track overnight loss, I would test before 9 am. more like 6 am before the sun rises.

Hayward Bug from the PB when my wife asked for a military discount :) God bless her. Works great IMHO

Good conversation. Most contractors in central NY I have worked with want 25-50% up front. Some just want materials paid for. The biggest contractor I worked with did nothing up front, then 25% as 25% of the job was completed, 50% etc.

good point. Just took his advice, coffee and kitchen table! all is good and I have convinced myself my CYA is 60 and I'm not a fan of the CYA control reagent as that might make me lean towards 70 :) but considering I thought I was at 40 at the beginning of this year and nothing added that could...

What about CYA?

Radiant pools can be sunk also

Ensure you have a detailed contract signed by them also.

Keep using bio guard and start over when liner is replaced
