LOL! We also have a meat and seafood fridge. :thumleft:

Yes, the dragons milk original is pretty strong. It'll get you right in a hurry. The strawberry ale is a light beer with a fairly strong strawberry flavor but not overly fruity and not sweet at all. Since it is light and fruity it is the perfect breakfast beer for me. For those 10am ladies...

Yes, it does add some salt but that is fine. Most things add salt to hot tubs like bleach, muriatic acid, people, tap water.

It is better to wait 30 days before using the robot.

Welcome to TFP! Congrats on the new pool. That was our first pool waayyy back when the kids were little.

What if you butt the stones close together and use sand?

Keep at it and I'll post a pic! :laughblue:

Thanks for the follow up. Perception is reality. :thumleft:

Some pitting is common in plaster. Ascorbic acid will not create any additional pitting problems.

Oh he will, the price has just changed by a lot. LOL!!

Grab some scissors and run around the edge one time and it'll be good. Most covers that I've cut just slice right off, no scissor-action required.

Welcome to TFP! I second that link, we've maintained our tub with that process for years.

We add Epsom salts to our spa from time to time. Just a cup or so. There are all sorts of nice flavors of Epsom salts. We like coconut and lime best.

Yes, definitely fine. Sending your kid in to clean up the pool with a sock full of ascorbic acid isnt a problem either. I'm not sure if TFP officially endorses making your kids do all sorts of pool chores but I think we do. :-)

Nice post! Opening at my pool is walking outside one day in March and the sun is suddenly warmer and you can feel that spring is about to arrive. When that day arrives I stick my finger in the pool, hold it up to a south breeze and add just the right amount of CYA in a knee-high and some salt...

Nice solar arrays! 1.0 to 1.2 gpm per 10sf of panels area is a pretty good guideline. More detailed discussion here, Sweet Spot for Solar GPM I usually write the text and then add the pics.

I would pass on plumbing the tab feeder. It will start leaking eventually. The tab feeder for the pool in Florida we recently bought leaks a little bit. The only reason you might use a tab feeder is in the winter when you're on vacay and the SWG isnt making chlorine because the water is too...

Welcome to TFP!

Just a note that in most cases Lowes and home depot will ship deicer to the store for free pick up for folks who live in the south or during the summer when deicer isn't typically stocked at the store.

The combo of adding borates and lowering TA to 50 helped to significantly slow pH rise in my former Texas hot tub. The few times when I refilled and didn't have 20 team mule on hand to add borates the pH rise was noticeably faster. The amount of borax and acid needed to achieve 50ppm in a spa...
