The good news: I have a pool, and it's clear. Arms are getting a nice workout from dumping copious amounts of chlorine in weekly. The bad news: I have a pool ;) Battling a CC of either 1 or .5 ALL summer so far. ( resolved that since pool gets non-stop sun that this is just the way it is...

Hi guys, this post is a continuation from this thread: fighting-with-my-cc-t46234.html In the middle of me trying to tweak my pool chemistry last week, my appendix decided to burst. I was in the hospital a couple days and couldn't tend to the pool, so now I'm back again. After I got out of...

Hi guys, I've been lurking a while and finally decided to take the plunge and join in the discussions. This is our 2nd summer owning a pool, and the 1st summer that we've had any issues with it. We live in Indianapolis, so the pool is only open from around now till Sept. Our house came with an...
