    I’m Tearing My Hair Out

    I did do the SLAM process last year and it did take care of it. My mom then boke her hip so I wasn't online for a good long while. This year I did the SLAM and it didn't work. I'll get the numbers later today on a new test and post them.

    New Pool Owner

    The installer is coming Monday to prep the ground. As a widow, it's just me here so I hired someone to do it. I will document the build.

    New Pool Coming

    My above ground pool will be set up in five days and the electrician will come the next day. I have been reading everything I can and I love this site. I have some (many) questions. 1. It came with a Nature2 Vision Pro. From what I've read here, don't use it right? The store made it sound...
