Hi! I am having TONS of trouble with sediment (dust like...not really sand) piling on the bottom of our above ground pool. When trying to vacuum it, it seems that it's just being blown back into the water and making it cloudy. Are there any tricks besides just getting a better vacuum? We just...

Ugh! We just built a nice deck around our pool. So nice! All we have left to do is put up rails. Apparently, my 8 month old, 100 lb bloodhound decided he'd like to cool off and got stuck in our pool for an undetermined amount of time after jumping...falling...off the deck. Thankfully, hes'...

Absolutely! Thank yall a ton. I will purchase the test kit today. Another question would be is it safe to swim after adding the bleach waiting for the test kit? I have an ancy 5 yr old and nieces and nephews. ;)

Hi all! I have read Pool School entirely. I understand what all the chemical levels are supposed to be and do. I just have the simple test strips as of this moment and they are so confusing to read. After reading some in the forum, I see the pool store snookered me. Purchased $367 worth of...
