Pool looks awesome!

Thank you! This site has been an incredible help for sure.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to post a message for anyone new to the site or just exploring. At first you might think, "Does all of this really work?", "This is too complicated for me", and/or "My local pool store will help more than this site". As someone who was new to this site last year...

Sorry, been a hectic month here....but sadly, no good pool lounger deals! But the pool chemistry has been the best it has since I've owned the pool! Thanks again to all who provided advice. Sadly pool season is ending here in Michigan, but I'm already excited for next season! Cheers and have a...

Thanks again for the encouragement, I will be testing and following FC and other results more closely for sure, and definitely using the FC/CYA chart! I hope I cam share some good deals on pool loungers soon. 😀 Cheers, Mike

That's awesome, I know I'm in the right place....THANK YOU! I've had this pool for about 8 years now, and overall I thought I was doing a pretty good job. I did read up on pool chemistry, and other good practices to follow....but still had been relying on a local pool store for testing and...

Thanks so much for the reply and advice, I appreciate it! Your pool looks fantastic, I have some work to do.

Thank you so much for the reply, I know I need to get a proper test kit and start doing it on my own, that is next on the list. I appreciate the advice, I will work on SLAM process and in the meantime use the liquid chlorine. Thank you again!
