I read the line to hub...he laughed. Probably cause I'm the oldest and fattest one being pulled around on a towable at the lake:):)

I certainly didn't mean to be rude. And I'm very sorry if I came across as that way! I wasn't even refering to this site, necessarily. I've been reading pool pages since Feb. and it seems there are always exception's at the bottom of the page for AGP. Whether it's temp, calcium, pumps...

You won't believe this, or maybe you will:)...the little light bulb that hadn't come on until I read this was...take the recommended target shock level 15 and put it in the goal box on the left hand side to come up with the dang answer on the Calculator! :oops: We would be lost without this...

Okay, I have a small complaint... that I can't ever tell if the info is for ABG Pools or ING Pools. I think we should have a much more vocal and active ABG Pool section than we do. Once in awhile I see a asteric that says 'if you have ABGP'. I know that I specifically chose a ABG Pool...

I grew up in motel pools in the 50's and 60's. Then I married a 'lake' man and he said no way were we swimming in a motel pool. I wasn't sure whether to believe him or not. So what is the skinny on motel pools? jenn

In my housekeeping experience I have always wondered why people didn't secure their premises. Even when we were young, on ranches, in ranch houses, I would go through and tack down can lids over holes, plug around drain pipes with steel wool, caulk, whatever it took to secure my home. People...

Okay Mom LOL The internet does not necessarily have anything to do with it. jenn

I will try for the attachable fountain. I'm kinda over the 'make do' days unless it's for green purposes:) I can't say that's my hubs opinion though as he will probably want some hideous black hose spouting water from our lovely pool. LOL jenn

Oh Dave... I should have said ...'no, we don't have very ckear water. jenn

Yes, we held 2.5 overnight. I just now filled out the sig, hope it is what's needed. Let me know if I'm missing something. Ls...see we don't know what that means when you say your shock level is 16. It said ours was 15...what the heck does that mean? jenn

We don't understand Suggested FC Levels on the Pool Calculator. I'm not sure which problem to address first... our numbers for tonight...FC - 2.5 CC - .5 TC - 3 PH - 7.5...

Thanks, that's what we'll do. jenn

Well, we've/he's:) added 9 oz. of Muriatic acid twice now. I think he just hated the idea of it (not afraid of it) he's worked with too much 'stuff'. We can see the bottom of the pool. It 'ain't' beautiful but it's 'seeable' again. We thank you all very much! jenn

Now, I'm Not Sure... but I was sharing my float with a dozen bees. Hub said it was cause it was so dry here. Hasn't rained in months. I put out another float and they went to it...a decoy:) This was during the time of our tribulation with our pool:) So the chlorine was low. We got the...

We have a 1 3/4 hp pump for our 12'x24' oval above ground pool. Is that reasonable Jason? We have no idea. Thanks for the hint, waste...we'll do the drilling...what have we got to lose?:)

Yes, it has always upset my very docile dogs when little girls visiting run around screaming like mimi's. They think it's some kind of wounded prey. jenn

Oh, what a sore subject :lol: Yes, a Stratos, Fish 'n Ski and a permanant rv at the lake. Spent Fri. afternoon til Mon. morn every week for 8 years til........this summer and the itty bitty pool :lol: It seemed to have consumed us like a new baby with colic. We haven't been to the lake a...

I don't know if it's impolite to reply to old topics or not but... I'm still watching 'Songcatcher'. jenn

We were sent a 1 1/2 hp pump for our 12x24 pool. Is the suction too great on the head? jenn

I have another question. In fact I have a million questions :) But this one is about the vacuum cleaner head that came with our pool. It's triangle shaped, brushes on the bottom, blue and it only pulls backwards. Is that right? Is that the way it works or what? You can't push it forward...

Yes, ours is pointing up and does ripple the surface constantly. But with all the instructions to aerate I think there must be more. What about the air compressor? Is that kosher? jenn Apparently I really wanted that to be a lonnnng word. I should use spell check. I noticed it when I...

Well I guess that's my question...how do you aereate your ABG pools? No waterfalls, no kids....we did get out there and cut a rug one afternoon but we still didn't stir it up very much for very long. :roll: jenn

I clicked on. But I didn't find anything and had no idea what I was looking at :lol:

Good Morning, I haven't been gone, just lurking:) I didn't want to bore you with 'thank you, thank you' and I don't know enough to even discuss it. We can see the bottom step of the ladder now. We added chlorine as per the Calculator. We have areated it once again now. The pump has always run...

Unstablized chlorine. Here is a description I copied...Poolife CHLORINE CAPLETS - CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE - 68% AVAILABLE CHLORINE And this is the Alkalinity Plus description from PooLife. ALKALINITY INCREASER - SODIUM BICARBONATE 5-lb container - Poolife Alkalinity Plus - to balance your water...

Source of chloriine was Trichlor Tabs Test Kit - TF100 Algeacides - PoolLife, Super AlgaeBomb 60, Poly[oxyethylene(dimethlyliminio)ethylene-(dimethyliminio)ethylenedichloride] Right before it turned cloudy the TA was low, the CYA was high. The pool store had us go to unstablized chlorine and...

Hi to All, Our first pool's been cloudy for a month now. Can’t see the bottom. White cloudy. We have exhausted the advice of our local pool store, that isn’t really a pool store:) We have a arsenal of chemicals on hand (Pool Life). Yesterday we drained a third of the water and...

Thanks I was just hoping I was overlooking it like you do in a cabinet or something. My 57 year old 'pool boy' :-D is allergic to pc so I have to print. :oops: jennifer

Thank you waterbear. Am I, as a newbie, overlooking the 'print' function on this forum? jj
