    solar blanket?

    pool temp is now 71 after "IRENE". Is there any good solar blanket (that lay on top of water)? Or, solar fish or something like it? Hoping to increase pool temp to 75 or so. Temps have been in the lower 80's and sunny, just a little chilling in the mornings. Thanks, Frank

    backyard with pool deck completed

    Thanks! That was our first idea also. Having the deck extend off the current deck and up to the pool and then a lower deck with the Tiki Bar sitting on it. But we 2 dogs and my wife wanted more yard (grass) for them to run.

    My Newfie Golden Mix climbed up ladder to save my wife!

    AWESOME story. We have a Saint Bernard and a Mutt. He loves water, but the gate is always closed and locked. He weighs 200lbs. The mutt hates water, no worries there. Again, an AWESOME story..she sounds like an amazing dog (child) :)!!!

    vacumming question?

    Should I shut off the pump first then hook up the hose to the skimmer or can I leave the pump running? I vacummed last week the filter gauge was going crazy back and forth from 0 to 10, is this normal.

    water level

    My water level is 1 inch from top of the skimmer. With more rain coming this week, I want to lower the level a bit, so it doesn't overflow. Should I use the "backwash" setting or "waste" setting? Frank

    I do have a way to mix it. Should I hold off starting the pump, filter and Nature2 Sanitizer until just before the season?

    Filling should be done this evening or tomorrow morning and the electric is being done on Saturday. It is still to cold, should I put some shock in the water and put a solar cover on or leave it uncovered til it is time to open? I would like to have the pool ready by early-mid May. Thank you...

    pool install and electrical

    Maybe I will do it this way, seems to be the safer way, then worrying about amps and such. This way I will have time for the electrical to be done and the township to do the inspection.
