"Which club?!" you ask...? This one. Shocking the pool now.

I normally have to have 1" - 2" of water to the pool every 5 - 7 days. I thought I had a leak, but everything I checked seems to be o.k. And I've been told there's a lot more to evaporation - and a lot more to evaporation at night! - than you would think. I've done the "bucket test" and it...

Saturday night on our way to dinner, my wife and I stopped by Aldi before it closed. I had been saying we needed bleach for 2 days, we were down to our last gallon and a half. When we got to Aldi, they only had 9 jugs left. 9 jugs on the entire pallet!!?? Really? I grabbed all 9. (96 oz...

I'm a new pool owner slowly figuring all this out...thanks to this site!! I have a cartridge filter: Hayward C12002. When we finally got the pump flowing, the psi was 8. So I figured, once it reaches about 10-11 psi is when I should clean it, right? (Normal pumping pressure + 20-25%)...

New pool owner with an old pool. We've been through the stress of measuring/ordering/installing a new vinyl liner*, getting the pump up and running (plumbed it backwards the first time - "in" the return and "out" the skimmer!), now we're having fun with all this chemistry. Still not sure I'm...

In the "Members" section, I would like to sort or search by city or state - I'd like to see if anyone in my geographic area can share advice, which stores to see, which stores to avoid, etc. In the same light - maybe setup different forums by region or state so similar climates can advise and...
