    Grackle Season

    This is our second year and it's horrendous. I have the scare tape strung out criss cross around the pool, about 5 owls. I went away for 2 days and had to scoop out about 50 droppings.

    Water Lowered for Winter but Still at Return line Height

    Return line is lower than skimmer. If I run a hose from return line away from the pool, will overflow water running through the hole cause an issue?

    Preparing to SLAM, Need Advice on Starting

    New home owner. Moved in last fall and acquired an above ground pool. Took too long getting algae down in the spring and have struggled with lingering mustard algae. I'm confident it is algae because when I vaccuum to waste it reappears in a few small lines within 48 hrs. I tried vacuuming to...
