Squeeze the socks when you can. [emoji176] Lisa P. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you going to be using pucks as a main sanitizer or are you getting ready for a trip? [emoji176] Lisa P. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am good. It's back to school time so a bit busy around here. Your pool will clear up. And yes, you will have lots more questions. I am always tweaking something here and there and wanting to know more! I can't wait to see pictures of your sparkly pool! [emoji176] Lisa P. Sent from my...

Stopping in to see how things are going. You are learning so much! Don't you just love this site?

SWAM! with 3 of my former students and my daughter. Had a water gun fight in the pool, cleaned out some leaves while we were in there. Hubby fixed the Kreepy Krawler, the valve on the letro wall fitting broke this weekend. Thankfully, she's back in service and was only out a few days. I've...

Wow!! That's awesome! You're so welcome! [emoji176] Lisa P. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha! You all are quite the jokesters! [emoji176] Lisa P. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks so much April and LOL @ the doggie swim suits [emoji14]. I love all of the options for different skimmers. I had looked at once choice before, but had no idea how many other options there are! I will be researching more! [emoji176] Lisa P. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh goodness April, I can't wait to check some of your links out! Thanks! [emoji176] Lisa P. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol! Love tha catchy title! [emoji176] Lisa P. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ha! I guess that's an option, although an expensive one and we've already fenced in our entire 3 acres. I've actually gotten the sand in the skimmers down significantly . just with the skimmer socks and better cleaning. ( that picture was taken a couple of months ago). They are golden...

Lol! That's what I use to hold the socks on when I add the CYA. I just haven't moved them back to the rock garden. [emoji176] Lisa P. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Woohoo!!! [emoji176] Lisa P. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you April. I only add 1/4-1/2 cup each time and sometimes I forget to add it at all. I do wash the PSI. See the sand on the skimmer ledge . . And then see that ledge there on the pool, well the dog gets in there at least four times a day. She plays on the ledge. After she plays, she...

Yes, my question is specific to my pool and my water balance. Others may or may not have similar situations. [emoji176] Lisa P. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea - middle schoolers - whew! I've never taught that grade. I've taught elementary school for 22 years, pk, 1st, 2nd, 4th, and a Gifted and Talented Specialist for the last nine years. I am advancing this year and moving up to teach freshman English. It's a welcome new challenge, but I'm a...

If you can see the bottom of the pool, it is safe to swim., but be sure and bump your FC back up afterwards! Have fun! [emoji176] Lisa P. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You're going strong girl! Keep at it! [emoji176] Lisa P. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you! and LOL at the husband taking over. He does compliment me on the beauty of the pool water, but thinks I'm being way too picky. I'm also fascinated with reading the forum and learning more; I try to tell him things and he just doesn't get my excitement - teehee! It's a harmless...

I guess I should be a bit more specific. In a previous thread, chemgeek and I discussed my CSI being a little in the danger zone to -.5 or .-7 and I was trying to get it closer to 0. He recommended for a SWG pool (we weren't discussing plaster at all) that the better CSI was -.2 or .-1 and...

Lol! Funny!! [emoji176] Lisa P. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can you see the bottom of the pool? [emoji176] Lisa P. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes he has, see this post. I read about his recommendations more than once. How Does TA Affect pH? [emoji176] Lisa P. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The 7.4 was intentional but not, which doesn't make any sense at all I know. When my TA was higher, I was adding MA like every 3rd day and I don't really like that stuff :). I was trying to get my TA lower so the pH would hold better by lowering PH and aerating, and it worked. If you look at...

Sooo, this is our fourth summer in the pool. I have NO Idea if they added CH when they started up the pool originally. My first CH reading after my SLAM was 180. That was in April. That's about right with my fill water. There have been times I've used cal-hypo, but not very much. Looking...
