Most of us all have pavers with the poly sand. Sure they say wet it and it will dry hard. I’m getting lots of sand in the pool. What do you do to stop this ?

This is true. You get more junk the first week when opening. I was thinking after running the pump all week without filter just vacuum and dump water out. I have to do anyway. I can’t vacuum through my Pentair SR filter. Found that out the first year. I called Pentair and they say that pump...

How about when your opening your pool to green water. This I haven’t tried. Since I have cartridge filters, I’m thinking to leave them out for spring opening if pool water is green and slam it first until green is gone then put filters in ? That would save my filters a little longer. Do you...

I use to pull filters every two months also. It wasn’t as bad as that but looked like the same stuff. I think it’s a build up of sun tan cream. Do you have kids in pool ? On here TFP they tell you to put tennis balls in the skimmer. I have 3 and every day I hit them with a hoses and they look...

I Don’t have a brush. I never have anything on floor or walls. Only leaves. I may go around the water line with Clorox and sponge. I do keep C level at 3 -4 mostly 4 & 5 after kids swimming.

That’s even better. After what I saw in the filters after running with A-60. They looked clogged. Going to need a bigger paint stick to stir. Lol

I posted this few years ago but didn’t get much input. Your closing your pool - it’s all vacuum and ready for slamming and algae 60 if you use it. I think if your using algae 60 this trick will work for sure. It’s only for filter cartridges or if you can by pass the sand & DE filter...

You had the same or something happened? I cut off a piece from my old fishing wadders and put 5200 on. It’s holding so far. My son & wife saw the patch before I took the cover off and they ask me what happened to our new cover ? I said. Dam squirrels!!!

Yes, it’s more money. We have it, if your pool is big your going to need it. Even tho it’s strong and will not rip. The cover has one weakness. I was using a touch to kill the weeds around the pool bricks when the cover was on. I was 1 ft away from cover and the wind must of took the heat close...

I don’t do this but !!!! I now seen two pool service Winterizers the pool the same way. They don’t put anything in the pool water. Nothing!!! When I asked- there answer is - why wast money. We will shock it in the spring knowing it’s going to be green anyway. Yep- that’s how they think. PS -...

Ajw. I think we spoke about my sons pool ?? You live close to Wyckoff? Next year when he opens pool he needs a different pool service guy. Maybe we can talk ?? My sons pool the SWG is not working and needs 2 new motors. I replaced one already for the vacuum system.

Just to put this out there. My son just moved into a house in jersey and keep the same pool service. He doesn’t have time to use it so I told him to call and close it. I was there and watched the pool service guys close pool. They dropped water lever - blow out pipes and put cover on it. They...

Last season I slam it and ran pump 24 hours then added poly 60. Reading here and someone said to wait and run pump for 3 days before adding poly 60. I did some reading about that. You need slam levels to drop for the poly 60 to work. Why is that ????

Last year I closed pool end of September when temperatures was in 60s day - 50s night. I’m going in for knee replacement September 11 with temperatures in the 70s here - NY Long Island - what should I do ? Shock pool on the 7th and put in poly algaecide 60 on the 9th. I don’t know what else to...

Does anyone live close to Wyckoff NJ ? Next week I will be back here at my sons house. I have no clue how this SW system works. I’m now looking for a pool service but would like to understand more about this pool. If anyone would meet me at my sons house to show me. Marty D

We are all done. Just finished our out door kitchen. Did all the brick work. Redid the bricks around pool. Next year I’m going to clean all the bricks and seal them. Satin color

That’s your pool ? I saw this picture on line. We were looking for new pool liners and saw this picture and we love the solid blue color. I even posted this picture here asking if anyone know what the name of the liner color was. Very nice ?

I have vinyl liner and the walls never get dirty - even the water line is clean. Is this something with a tile pools that needs to be cleaned.

These vacuum doesn’t need to be washed after use? Sounds like leaving them in the pool water is better then taking them out. Like a ship wreck in ocean for 300 years and once you take it out of water the metal gets rotted

I heard him talking on the phone. He is with me fishing on my boat. It’s 1 pm and we are fishing the tide that ends at 3 pm. He telling the guy on phone he will meet him at 3 pm. It’s will take him 45 minutes to get there. What is he thinking?? It’s in his DNA.

With all that sun and heat. How much does your pool drop water ? I have to add ever day - maybe 1/2 inch pool drops. I also have sun all day on pool. 1/2 inch in this pool is a lot of water. 500 gallons or more a day.

I’m 63 and was told from my Dr. after having stress test done in January before my surgery that I have developed coronary heart disease. All my life if I have to be somewhere. Dr. Or a friends house or whatever- I am there 10 minutes early. I have a buddy that I will not tell him to meet me...

First. What is As ? Yes, I’m always doing something. I also fish a lot on my boat and surf fish at night from the beach using lures. I do enjoy my self. I’m not the one to lay out and suck up the sun. I never lay down in day light. Never !!! I try laying down once and I start looking around and...
