Hey everybody !!!! Glad to see the site is still doing so well. It has been a while since my last visit but had a few minutes and thought I would pop in to say hello to my pool friends. What's up???? :-D

Fairly new to Salt Pools (2 yrs running). Within the last 2 months of heavy pool use, splashout, evaporation, etc. I have not added an ounce of salt. Generator is set at 35% for summer months. TC runs 4-5 constant. Readout on my PS-8 has not changed from 3500 since March. Salt test strips...

Received this in an email. Thought it was fitting to share. Should stir some controversy.... We are about to enter the summer soon and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity, as it's the only type of cooking a...

I have a new one for you. Your Black Lab manages to grab your Polaris out of the pool, Chew the hose into a million pieces. Mind you, the pool is on and running, along with the booster. You come home to water pouring out of your front yard and wonder what the heck is going on. Price of a new...

My pool will be a year old this coming week. I too, like many others, have shown a genuine concern with my flagstone coping and spa surround. I have enjoyed reading and providing information regarding procduts that I have used in the attempts to seal my flagstone without changing the...

I have been wanting to share this with everyone but just have not had the time. How many of you have seen the Movie "Armeggedon"? Well, if you remember all of the scenes where they did the training in the water, do I have a treat for you. I am an avid scuba diver. I have been diving for...

I just got to thinking, have we ever discussed if your water should be tested with the pump circulating or not circulating? Does it make any difference? Just curious. Anybody want to jump on board and offer opinions? :?

As I have enjoyed reading and moderating everyones post, it is your turn to moderate mine. I finally sat down and did a thorough test of my pool using the TF-100 I purchased from TROUBLE FREE TEST KITS. I was a little skeptical I would screw something up and a little nervous of what my first...

test for smileys. Is it supposed to rain today? Maybe I feel like working out... edit: You don't need the <a>'s

I am next in line. I too, like Sean, am a new pool owner. We both completed our pools around the same time period last year. For those who know nothing of me, my real name is Mike. I live in Pearland, TX (Southern Houston suburb). My family, wife and 2 kids (boy 8, girl 5) is my true...

I would like to get everyones opinion on Decking/ Coping sealers. I am in discussions with my pool builder concerning the look of my flagstone surround around the pool and spa. It looks as if it is fading/ lightening as time goes on. Furthermore, it tends to have that sandy, gritty feeling...

Any Margarita drinkers out there??? If yes, have you ever had them frozen out of an ice cream maker? It is really simple. Here is what you need: 1 Electric Ice Cream Maker (1 gallon preferred) Rock Salt - Lots of it Ice Powdered Margarita Mix (Found at any Liquor Store) Tequila Triple Sec...

OK, I could not pass up sharing this one with everyone. I too, would not want to get in this water. Where is David Letterman when you need him? http://s112.photobucket.com/albums/n186/divnkd101/?action=view&current=DogInPool.flv

Does anyone's viewable screen size change from an old post to a new one? On new posts, I have to scroll to the right in order to read the entire post. Yet, when I go back and look over old posts, they are incorporated in my screen( no scrolling necessary). Any ideas?????

Sean, Did you have any luck with finding a pillow for your spa?? I just snapped. I wrote the info down and never posted it. Let me know.

I will be the first on this category. This was some of the information that I was looking for when first looking for a pool. So, here are my questions: 1. What is an SWCG (Saltwater Chlorine Generator)? 2. How does it work? 3. Once I have chosen the process of SWCG, what are the most...

Has anyone received any "Invalid Session" Errors? I am having trouble posting through my AOL account but seem to have no trouble through Internet Explorer. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks

I would like to share my build with everyone. I truly have had a wonderful experience building my first pool. The Pool Builder (Monterey Bay Pools- Pearland, TX.) did an outstanding job. My family and I could not be happier. Here is a link to the album I created during the build process...
