Yes-- they are black birds. I think their nest is way up high in the leyland. It is probably 15 or 20 feet high. It seemed to me that they were making this an Olympic event. Grading each other on style points as they hoover and drop over the pool. Thanks. Going to see what to do about...

I have never had this problem before. For some reason, birds have decided to use my pool this year as their own toilet. It might be a funny story later after I resolve this issue but what do I do to discourage them? We noticed last month when we took the cover off that there was an enormous...

Hey I am getting ready to close. :( I put a solid cover on. Do I really need one of those pillows? They seem to break each year and not do such a great job. Would I be better off to put my money into getting a good cover pump to keep the water from collecting on top? Thanks Suzanne

Thanks fp mom :) :) :) by the way, is there a spell check anymore? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks-- Is the high ph and low TA a mystery? I thought that if the ph is high then the TA is high. Is that correct? Also with the dry acid how do I add it? broadcast into the pool, into the skimmer? Blessed

My water looks beautiful. I have been testing and adding bleach-- about half gallon to 3/4 of a gallon nightly. I test TA almost nightly. It went down from 90 to 80-- so I checked the ph. I really hate the ph test as I am unsure about the color-- is there another ph test that is less...

I notice that our swim suits smell of chlorine when my kids hang them to dry over the tub. I rinse them out and it goes away quick. I don't think the pool smells at all. We have the same .5 CC. I keep my pool at 4ppm FC-- cya is at 30. Blessed

OK--Upgrade is good. I will need to get used to it as I had a hard time getting my computer to go to the forum. It didnt go to it when I clicked on it. This morning I had FC- 3.5 cc- .5 Ph- 7.5 TA- 9 CYA- between 20 and 30 I had posted a few questions yesterday and never had time to...

Thanks.... running out the back door now.. Suzanne

I have never bought CYA. what do I buy? and how much do I add? Thanks for your response. Suzanne

:?

I will weigh in a tell you that last year we spent over a $1,000. for Baqujunk. My water was horrible. At the end of the season we switched over to BBB- I bought so much bleach-- It was still less than $100. If I were you starting with new water-- I would run to the bleach bottle. you are so...

Help-- I hope we have a paramedic on call. I got one dilemma solved, on to the next... I took some readings.. My pool actually looks fine-- some leaves got in last night when we took off the cover. The water has some bad readings and I need help, quick! Here they are; FC-0 CC-0 TC-0 Ph-<6.8...

I want to drain out the filter to fix the band-- my hubby put the washer on in the wrong spot. :oops: I don't just need to reseat it, I need to open it up and move a washer to the right spot. I don't think that I can fix it with all the water pouring out. Thanks-- Blessed- with a pool Suzanne

We took off the cover to our pool last night. We started filling it back up with water from the hose. We got the filter set up. This morning I see ring around the filter is not on correctly-- water is leaking out. I put in a stopper and then was trying to open drain valve at the bottom of...

Thanks for the reference. Yow!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: I have to buy 72 flex tubes at $4.35 each. == $313.20 I didn't think this was going to cost that much. I was thinking between $100-$200. Jason, thanks again for the help. ~Blessed :-D

What a blessing!! All those sweet babies! God bless you :-D

Last October I converted to BBB. I was told I would need to replace my grids before using my filter. I decided to deal with that this year when opening. We are getting ready to open. I want the filter in good working order before we get too far into the process. I don't want to go to the...

You know, Waste, I do happen to have a little bit of MA left. :wink: (I actually was thinking of how I was going to store it this winter- so now I hopefully can use it up). Since I have disconnected my pump and lowered my water and have the cover on now- I will peel back that cover(I already...

I am ready to close today. A nice clear non-windy day. I tested my water and my ph is 7.8 but my TA is 90. Is that ok for closing? I know someone said not to put in any CYA since I just finished my conversion from Baq. I have been adding bleach forever and of course on a day like today...

I have a completely different type of Chili- for a change of pace. Aloha Chili- (kind of a sweet and sour version) 2lbs gound beef chopped onion- to taste 1 (15 oz) can kidney beans- -rinsed and drained 1 can pork and beans (16...

I am happy with the test kit, Dave. I am sorry if you think otherwise. It is a great kit. I couldn't have done the conversion w/o it. I reccommend it to everyone. I posted the link because they do have a good price for replacements and it was a good buying experience. Shipping was higher...

Ok-- This morning I was at FC 15 and the CC cleared in one drop- is it suppose to stay clear when adding the R 0003 solution? Can I safely assume that it is gone? I will be checking it again in a couple of hours. Today is 2 weeks. I would love to cover it up tomorrow morning. I am getting...

Hey Ya'll~ I am sitting at 1 CC and I am usually at 13 or 14 FC every morning. :cry: Do I need to change my DE grids now to get rid of the last amount of CC? I am actually running out of solutions and just ordered some more. We have had some awesome weather so I think it is pretty warm. I...

Amazing pool!!! I also like HGTV. It is one of my other favorite websites. Please let us know when it will be on. Thanks for sharing. :-D

Haven't gotten to 0 CC yet or had the FC to hold at 15 overnight. CC is still at 3 FC varies by morning - today was 12. I do see that my ph is creeping up again so adding MA again today. Today is the one week mark. I know that water temp effects the conversion- does that mean higher temp...

P I C T U R E S Yes~ I think I have pictures for you all. I am sorry it goes by so fast, I don't know how to slow it down. (Just watch a few times :wink: ) http://s233.photobucket.com/albums/ee186/blessedwithboys3/?action=view&current=dd4537f1.pbw I will put the next few on later. I had 2 more...

Hey~ things are moving along. I have our CC down to 3.5. The last 2 mornings I have been at 13 FC. It is looking so nice, wish it was nice enough out to go swimming. I am thinking that by tomorrow I can put in the CYA-- is that right? If it is at 15 and 0, FC and CC respectively? When...
