    Hurricane Irma Problems!

    Thank you Kim. I decided to empty it because I can tell the water is coming from the bottom. I put the hose out about an hour ago. Thanks for your help. I'm not sure how long it will be before we get another one so I guess it's sayonara for now. I'm a little sad because I spent the summer...

    Could be algae

    Hi Kim I think what Mark is saying is that he really doesn't want to order any more reagents until next year when he opens the pool again since the reagents do expire. I may be wrong but that's how I read his post.

    Hurricane Irma Problems!

    Regarding algae: I just read SherrieDee's post and her algae problem came from Hurricane Harvey...do you think it's some kind of strange hurricane "thing"? that came from the sky we are getting? Both of us have high numbers that don't seem to make sense for CYA and not balancing with the FC...

    Hurricane Irma Problems!

    I think I can. It's already lost a lot for some reason. I'll run to the store and get bleach galore; whatever else I need for SLAM and another bag of salt for the SWG. Thank you!

    Hurricane Irma Problems!

    I'm having problems with my pool after Irma. We got hit head on but luckily our house was mostly protected by neighbors. We were out of power for 11 days. I cleaned the pool from all the debris and mostly stones from the shingles of the roof. It was great for a week as I used bleach and muriatic...

    PVC Towel Holder for my AGP

    I was just doing laundry out in the garage and looked over on the other side of the sink and there was the three pieces for a shoe rack made out of plastic. I never liked it as my shoes always slipped through when opening or closing the door but I couldn't just throw it away. So I wondered if...

    I Made the Biggest Stupidest Mistake Ever! HELP!

    EEEK! This one makes me cringe too! Thanks for sharing now I don't feel so bad but when you are staring at the sky to make sure you're not going to get strike by lightning and pouring a bag you don't see the color until the end. When I saw brownish red instead of white.... you know the rest...

    I Made the Biggest Stupidest Mistake Ever! HELP!

    Thank you Kimkats; your idea was great but I didn't have the materials AND you got my imagination pumping too! (BTW, my "kids" are probably around your age so it was only me to battle my disaster. You truly were a big help and I was honored to see that you responded to my post...you seemed to...

    I Made the Biggest Stupidest Mistake Ever! HELP!

    Thank you Kimkats, Dsmith99, and Aussieta for all your suggestions. I tried the wet vac but it is a real small wetvac and I couldn't find any more hose to make it longer. I do have the vac that comes with the pool but it didn't seem to work so I gave it a second chance. After 20 minutes I got a...

    I Made the Biggest Stupidest Mistake Ever! HELP!

    I need to add more salt to my pool as my salt is at 2430. I grabbed the "leftover bag" and went in and weighed it. It's 14.8 lbs. I need like 32 lbs but since it's starting to storm with thunder and lightning I decided I better run out quickly and pour it in. I walked around the pool dumping in...

    Can I use Taylor R-0600 with the Chlorox Deluxe Kit

    I just got some Taylor R-0600 from TFTestKits because I ran out of OTO from Chlorox. Can I use the Chlorox test tubes with Taylor? If so, do I use 4 drops just like I did with the OTO?

    Pool Fountain - THANK YOU SKIPPY!!

    Thank you Haleysilo! When I was looking closer I noticed a few going different directions and was wondering if it was how I held the drill and now you clarified it. :D What is a sprinklein wand? I'm not familiar with that. Perhaps taking an old fashion sprinkler that you hook up to a hose and...

    Pool Fountain - THANK YOU SKIPPY!!

    Hi :wave: I made my pool fountain by Skippy's idea. It's an AGP so a little different. I haven't glued anything yet as I wanted to check it out so here are three pictures of it. I turned the fountain off to show you the holes, not bad for a woman, eh? LOL I haven't gotten my water right...
