    Solar cover on or off during shocking?

    I developed some green clouds :oops: while the pool was covered for a couple days due to cold temps and rain :grrrr: . I brought the FC up to shock levels and had the filter running on high all day. Should I leave the solar cover off tonight or can I put it on?

    Aqua bug - not working right

    First off - I love this site! I'm so glad I found it, saved me tons of money and frustration. I inherited an older Aqua bug. I took it apart (somewhat) and cleaned out all the dirt and gunk. Got some new shoes for it and changed those. So yesterday I finally sent the critter in for her first...
