What is everyone's preferred method to get deck boards to the pool. Are you going below and tuck below top piece of the pool? Are you going flush with top piece? Are you going above the top piece? What are counter measures for winter cover tucking around the deck boards? What is ideal ladder to...

Thank you all. I have been reading up on closing instructions. I bought a expensive kit on Amazon but may return. But plan to follow the forums instructions getting the pool fc level to slam level then cover. Yes I read to make sure water temp gets blow 65 or 60 before close. I will keep...

Update. Had to go back to work yesterday. Wife did not feel comfortable testing. Had her add 30oz chrolene every 2 hours. Came home to 13 fc. Added chrolene to slam level 16. Skimmer socks very light with yellow debree. Pool very clear. Today wife reports socks have little to no yellow...

I get the test. I was just wondering if I should note when I see the drastic change to clear record there or it seems 1 to 2 drops more go more clear maybe. My test kit is old. My powder I'm using is chunky. Stains in my chrolene only glass. Once I get pool right and then covered in winterize...

Another update. 4th day pump running non stop. Verify gauge works like it should pump pressure. Fc around 12 to 13. I say around noticeably see water being tested go to clear but shade of red still in. Added chrolene. Skimmer sock still yellowish material. Vaccum pool. Little brown dirt...

Last check for today. Another fc around 12 to 13. Added chrolene. Changed sock. Same yellow to green is material. Pool slightly cloudy. I was always able to see bottom but trying to use ladder as a visual gauge. Seems better. Every 2 to 3 hours losing 3 to 4ppm. Is that normal? Pool is in...

Also replaced sock again still yellow stuff.

Update. Next 2 hours 3 to 5pm Lost 3ppm fc Added chrolene. Dumb question. If I'm losing fc is due to fighting algae and sun.? At night no sun. Algae present eats away at chrolene or uses chrolene?

Update. Didn't get to do the loss test. Back wash this morning due to heavy rain last night. Got water level below top of skimmer Changed sock yellow tint. My fc was at 16 early morning. I couldn't get back to pool for 5 hours. Found the fc drop to 12. Added chrolene. Check again 2...

I will do loss test tonight. And report out Sunday results.

Thank you raised fc to 6 this morning. Adding liquid chrolene. For my 24" 4 foot water level i added105 ounces. I use 17 z water battle at 15 oz fill level. Bottom of pool was kinda bad. Vaccum pool with filter. Changed sock pretty yellow greenish running all night. Changed sock again after...

Cya 40 Fc 2.5 Cc 0 Tc 2.5 Added 1 drop to get cc go clear. Maybe cc .5 and tc 3 Ph between 7.2 and 7.5 Ch 200 ppm Ta 100 Pool looks little cloudy but not much. Vaccum algae again on filter. Plan to run pump all night. Based on results what's my next step? Thank you

I believe I'm fighting dead algae never had this issue before. Sand looking brown in random spots of pool floor. What chemical test results should I post for guidance? Chrolene and ph levels stay 3ppm and 7.5 every day and we use liquid chrolene. Tested cya last night lower than 20 so I added...

Any tips or advice on a small deck. Thank you

Any tips or advice on how to go about building or laying out a small deck just to attach ladder to and have steps to enter to pool. I would incorporate a gate that is lockable as well. Current ladder is wobble and I'd like to have more secure way to mount ladder. I was thinking something 4...

Been trying to see if I have a loss or not. The problem is I'm checking in the evening and my wife checks in the morning. I get busy with work and she doesn't report out what it is in the morning. It sounds like I need to make sure I don't loose 1 ppm from night to early morning. I did not ask...

The last 2 days I have noticed no chrolene in the morning checking my pool. Had been using about 30 liquid ounces a day. Check cya 2 days ago thinking maybe no good. But I'm between 40 to 50 ppm. Black dot test. Possibly gone at 50 for sure gone at 40. I'm using tf-100 kit. Pool is roughly...

Noob question. My pump on this new pool has a basket at pump. Also the skimmer basket. Do you leave skimmer basket in when putting vaccum plate in? I use skimmer socks as well helps with pollen in my area. Also this pump is pretty good and when I install vaccum piece in skimmer pulls air in...

New above ground pool installed. How should a A frame ladder mount to pool? I drilled 2 holes on the pool side to keep legs from floating. Outside I went to lowes to build pvc weights but man did I underestimate plumbing cost. 4" pvc caps $16 piece. 5 ft 4 inch piece is $35. I will not have...

Bump. Just curious if dropping from yellow scale 3 to 1 or .5 chrolene is OK daily?

I tried the app not having any luck with it. I have bought my test kit from this site large kit and daily chrolene and pH check. After a week I'm finding about 30 ounces of liquid chrolene to go from 1to 3 on the yellow scale every morning. First started I added 4lbs of equalizer. I added to...

This forum help me with my intex pool. Just had our new above ground pool installed and currently filling with water hose. How much chrolene and stabilizer do I need to start with fresh fill? 24' circle 48" water. I used liquid chroline on my last pool. Based on others advice I would weigh...
