My winter cover was a nightmare to get off this year. Lots of water and green pine needle gunk ended up in the pool. Prior to removing the cover, the water didn't look too bad. After a few days of running the pump, brushing, and vacuuming the junk out, I took my first set of readings. I have...

My pool liner was not supposed to be installed for a few more weeks...but it happened this week. I completed filling the pool yesterday. I began running the pump yesterday as well. I'll keep it running 24/7 for the time being. I kept putting off buying the appropriate test chemicals thinking I...
