Good morning everyone. Everything is still looking good with the pool. I added the algaecide & MetalX yesterday. I'm hoping we keep the green in the wallet and not the pool now. Thank you all for your help. Kristi

Will do. Thanks Frustratedpoolmom.

Very interesting... I woke up this morning to a clear pool. It did rain quite a bit last night #s: Chlorine: 3.0 PH: 7.4 I'm guessing the lowering of the ph and chlorine had something to do with the "great disappearing green tint." Or, is the stain beginning to redeposit on the pool...

Got it. Thanks. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Great Jason Lion! Thanks for your reply. To follow up, I need to keep my chlorine on the low end of that chart and keep the ph no higher than 7.2 for about 2 weeks, correct?

I decided to use the AA because I tried a sample on the pool stains and they instantly disappeared. PS store and the bag's description said AA can remove stains from leaves, dirt, etc., along with metal stains. I get a lot of cedar needles in my pool so I thought they may have caused it. There...

I had no metals in the pool according to numerous pool store testings. I got to the point that I didn't care what it was, as long as it was gone. It was starting to look bad.

Thanks for your response! TA: I'll go test. I didn't read the instructions on TFP first. That was my FIRST mistake. Added AA when chlorine was 7. I thought the PH was too low at 7.2 I personally like to keep it higher. I read the instructions, and honestly, I thought that the instructions...

I should have come to y'all first. I didn't realize what I was getting myself into. I had some staining in my pool probably due to organics, and I used absorbic acid to remove them. I didn't add algaecide to my pool, because I'm BBB and don't need it...or so I thought. That's just one of the...

Hi Lilsis. I live in Collierville. We're practically neighbors! There are a few North Mississippi people here, too.

This just might be my new favorite thread. You are doing a great job Dabuddy! I really like the updates with numbers and pictures.

I love this thread-- Mine is vejadu which is the name of a Jimmy Buffett song and a twist on the word dejavu. I use it here and on the Fuselage, a forum dedicated to the show LOST. Otherwise I'm known as bknlcj which are all the initials of my hubby, myself, my kids and my dog. You can call...

I just got back from a long road trip and couldn't believe the number of those store-bought round pools I saw sitting in people's FRONT yards--no fence--nothing. It's an accident waiting to happen. That is just not smart!

This is such a good thread that I've always wanted to try cooking a pork shoulder this way. Is the time the same for a bone-in shoulder? Is there an need to brine the swine?

Had to put my vote in for the Big Green Egg. We grill almost every night. Seriously. If we're eating at home, we're grilling. After years of smoking and grilling, I absolutely vote BGE.

Jimmy was great, great, great. I even bought a t-shirt to thank him. What a great way to start the summer and get me in the mood for the POOL!

HA! So true! I don't want to bypass the political discussion, but I will. Doggone these rules, Sean! What I want to do - tile for the kitchen. What I'm gonna do - new sewer pipe. Had to be done. At least I'm contributing to a local small business.

Not being argumentative, but wanted to say that my lm3-40 has been great. I try to keep my salt around 4000, have a 26K gallon pool and ran my chlorinator, at the most, level 3 out of 6. And I had around 30 for my CYA. It has never had build up despite ph wanting to be high. It's fun to...

Hey y'all. I decided to put a little plug in for my salt system today. I have a Zodiac LM3 which I know is not the most popular brand around. I would say it is a basic salt system because it doesn't have any electronic readouts on temp. or salt level or any of that. It is just a clear tube...

Going to Charlotte in April! Haven't seem him in a while and can't wait!

Another Memphian here with work connections in Meridian.

Your son just received a vote from Memphis. Good luck!

i have the LM3. I really like it. I know I've posted some things about it in one of the threads. If you have any questions, just ask.

I don't have a border, and it looks great. Mr. Vejadu always knows to agree with his wife, unless she tells him not to.

Hey there. We were just thinking of you and your family. Hope you have a safe trip home.

Hey there sports...Have you deployed before? If so you know about the transition "issues" when you come back home. I can't imagine combining that with the stress of building a pool! But I know different personalities can deal with that kind of stress better than others. If your wife and kids...

Matj, You are going to fit in great here with the rest of us pool nerds. Is that you in the bushes?

Gosh I love Texans!

So I guess you didn't get caught up in the "logo" scandal? I followed that one, although I never posted.
