The people here genuinely LOVE helping people get the perfect pool water. Especially with a member like you communicating, adding the pictures, doing what is discussed without secretly relapsing into following pool store instructions. It takes a little time and effort, but you will have the best...

It was all day sun today :) In my opinion freezing at 65, but sunny. When @Mdragger88 was talking about her upcoming polar vortex, I looked at our weather, saw it was going to get to 39 at night and thought to myself - Same girl, same. Today I installed the new solar cover holder and worked on...

I've given up hoping for more than one and just know I'm going to toss them at the end of the year. The summer solar one get full sun blasted on it all day almost so I can pay $50 for an Intex one that will start disenegrating after 4 or 5 months, or a $100+ that will make it through the 1st...

I ordered my yearly solar pool cover and finally gave in and ordered the hooks to hold the cover, good bye diy pvc holder. Then I broke the bleeder valve off the filter, greatly accelerating my spring plans to pull the filter & pump out of the shed and re-level it. New bleeder valve now also...

Ok, it's still kinda early here...what is DC?

It was the Clorox! Not even an option around here anymore. I tried searching bad salt on the forum and just kept getting SWG bad cell posts. Thank you!!

It's been a while since I've had to add salt to the pool. I remember a couple years ago there was some bad salt that I should stay away from, but can't remember what brand it was. Choices local to me : Morton, Sure Soft and Diamond Crystal.

We built a super simple platform, no exact plans, just googled, figured out what we wanted and basically winged it.

I've been waiting patiently since May for the pictures of this pool to be TFP clear and ready to go...Is the liner installed yet??

We have a non windy night for a clear pool picture❤️

LOL, the worst part about this, I am the queen of timers. My husband hates Jeff Bezos purely based on the number of times I talk to Alexa and ask her to set timers for me. Last night I just needed 5 more minutes... never again, even if I just need 3 minutes, a timer will be set. I didn't even...

I woke up at 5:45am this morning in full panic. Why? you ask.... at 9:15pm last night I decided to add just one more inch of water to the pool :( So I ran around the yard, no contacts, blind as a bat, trying to find a hose for the sump pump and once the level goes down I will be rebalancing all...

I'm picturing "casual", maybe polo shirt, dress slacks, nice loafers? Then hopping in the car, soaking wet, water draining out the door, leaving a trail as you drive away.

Adding that to my signature :p

Well now I'm curious, what era did I join... I think 100kish

Happy retirement! Now you can float all summer without pesky work getting in the way!

what color are you going with? I have been toying with staining my patio concrete since it was poured in 2019 but I haven't pulled the trigger.

As someone whose Facebook Marketplace algorithm is used above ground pool stuff, that price seems pretty high. Then when you take in the fact it is 40ish years old, it is crazy high. There is a 1 year used 15x30, that comes with a new liner, in my area being sold for $2,500. Mine was ...

When I look at my profile and click on my pool math log, it shows what I just did as in the future. When I look at my log in the app, it's correct

did you ever add the borates? I've been working on getting my TA level down, and will probably add after that happens. If you added, have you seen any difference?

We used only the well for the first 7 years. When we first got the pool, it was a severe drought so the fines for excessive use of city water were very high. There were crazy restrictions for when and if you were allowed to water your lawn, no car washing etc. Our first pool was we just bought...

House water is 75, going to be using only that going forward. Water cost savings using the well =/= effort & cost for MA. I battled really crappy hard water when I used the well only, so at my last liner change in 2022 I filled with the house water. I thought I would be ok using the well for...

Couple cannon balls, couple belly flops, lots of splash out, it will get there eventually.

ohh, fun question! I just went and tested and it's 75. Only expensive house water for the pool from now on!

No, just 7,600 gallons, small :) Stephanie shared 1 video with you - sorry, I don't know how to do a youtube video. Amazon is the best I can do. These are my 2 bubblers I have going, definitely not small bubbles. Are they a waste of effort?

I used well water to top off the pool when opening this season and paying the price. Been working the last few days to get TA down from 225. From playing with pool math I think I will have to lower the PH a total of 5.8 more to bring my TA down to a level of about 80. Tested the well water...

that is just the wall, you can see the other parts on the bottom left of the photo. I got my used pool exactly the same way :)
