I hope this is the case if I go with a salt generator or the BBB method. I am open to it just prefer the least amount of chemicals - but lower chlorine is an acceptable trade-off if I can get in the pool every day. If the water is green and yuck then I won't swim - so the chlorine is a...

Hi Techguy, Are you suggesting the bender board for the coping? If that's what I think your thinking - I love it! Yes, I think that would work. If that isn't what you meant - then I am lost! :oops: Thanks for the help, Marti

Thanks Andrew, the shade I am putting up is a frosted plastic - I won't get much sun in for heat in the winter. I am hoping to insulate as funds allow. I also found a solar water heater in my price range plus I have 3 old water heaters for some old fashioned solar heating. Yes, showering...

"Marti - was the Y experience an indoor or outdoor pool? Most indoor pools have a higher effective chlorine level than the BBB method is going to result in. Additionally those pools lack of sunlight makes some complications for the oxidization of organics s I understand it. " Part of the...

Yes, I have seen these. They are nice especially as the "swim in place" mechanism is built in. They are just under $1000 and I felt I needed a little more length - if you watch the video closely, no one seems to be able to take a full stroke. These ipools are 8'x8' and I probably could have...

I have looked at pond liner especially since they are so thick. I don't like the black as any depth of water creeps my out - I imagine snakes in there (I live by a creek). It is actually more expensive than a custom liner already prefabricated. Once I buy the adhesive to put the shape...

I actually did consider a 12' Easy set - but not filling the top air chamber and kind of folding it into a box. It would just need to hold water and not leak. Might still do that. I can't use the small Intex pools because they are so shallow. I am 5'4" and need the pool to be neck level to...

Hello, I am new here and new to pools. I have undertaken a huge project this summer - to build a 6'x10'x4' deep exercise pool. I have several health issues and swimming in place with a waist belt and cord system is what I am hoping to achieve. I live in Texas and hope to be able to use it...

I live in the woods near the Sam Houston National Forest in Texas. Carpenter ants have been bad these last two years due to mild winters. I use grits. Uncooked grits poured at the base of each tree every 3 days for 9-12 days and they are gone. I have NOT looked up the adult life cycle of a...
