    Overdosed my 24 FT above ground with Algecide What to do?

    i read a post this guy wrote in about having a sandy dusty kind of looking stuff on the bottom of the pool, which they told him was algae. I have been dealing with that stuff, albeit my pool water is very clear, but i couldn't seem to get rid of that on the bottom. So when i read that it was...

    When to run pump (day vs night)

    i have been running my pump all day long all summer. I thought the pool store guy told me it was to run all day every day. I didn't know you could not run it for a few hours at a time. Is it bad to run it 24/7?

    Overdosed my 24 FT above ground with Algecide What to do?

    ok thanks I was able to skim a lot off the top and i think it's ok now. I am hoping tomorrow will be all better. It's supposed to be the last good swim day as temps will be in the 90's one more day and then take a dive to 70's. I hope to enjoy it. I made a decision to keep my pool open...

    You KNOW you have sparklypoolitis when...

    OK so then why does a pool have to be closed, now that i just realized i am suffering from sparklypoolitis?? I work with this guy who says he doesn't close his. He says once the leaves stop falling, it's very little maintenance, and he's been doing it for years now. I want to try it, but i am...

    winterizing pool

    I was dreading closing the pool for the 3rd time since i bought my above ground. A guy i work with says he keeps his open all year. He says it's easy to do, because it doesn't require much in chemicals and after the leaves fall, there's really not a lot of debris. I would love to keep it open...
